Last weeks of school and final project

The last few weeks of my digital sculpting class where spent mostly in Photoshop.

In week 8 we had to take one of our existing models (or create a new one), pose it, take a render and import it into Photoshop. There we continued to make it look all pretty using different layers, masks and blends.

I particularly enjoyed the process of painting out the eyes; it really brings a piece to life.

I decided to use my existing "Monkey Man" sculpt (and gave him a sweater) for this week's homework.

This is the end result. The gray scale shows what it was before, and what it looked like after I painted it. Painting is fun!

And then it was time for our final project. We were allowed to do whatever we wanted to for this one. 

Since I enjoyed making my little baby elephant a few weeks ago, I decided on sculpting another animal. It became a 'Sea Turtle'.

I also really liked the Photoshop paint process last week, so after sculpting 'Mr. Turtle', I painted him as well.

Mr. Turtle still needs a little refining, which I will get to, some day.

For now, this is it. School is over, and it's time for me to put everything I've learned in the last year and half or so into practice, aka, time to work on my demo reel.

Thanks for reading and as always, onward and upward! Cheers!
