Ngozi and the Lion WIP

Quick update of some WIP texture paints I'm doing for a friend's rigging reel/possible future animation. At the moment the lion has a straight paint on her and the boy has a paint with a SSS shader. That skin took a LOT of iterations to get looking halfway decent. Now that I look at it, I might want to get some SSS on the lion's ears and nose too.

At this point I don't know what is happening with the animation this was to be part of, but I may be doing some set creation too. We'll see what happens.

Spring Training

Whew! It's been longer than I'd like since I've updated this thing. Fortunately, I finally have something not restricted by an NDA to show. I'm currently working on a couple assets for instructors at Vancouver Film School, which include an awesome retro robot toy and a bay-and-gable house.

Still working out minor details on the feet, but mostly done modeling

I'm wondering if it's getting too heavy, but I'm going for matching the reference

I'm also considering doing a blog post on how not to do free lance, taking from personal experiences in extreme frustration. (Hint: If you don't make a style guide, you're going to have a bad time.) Any interest?
