1st Update for the Spring Semester!

Almost 4 weeks have passed since the start of the new semester, and I already have a few good news to announce that has happened within the last couple weeks.

First, I finished a sculpted hoodie in Zbrush, that was made to show motion!

My 3D teacher, Martin Murphy, submitted my hoodie sculpt, along with a few other students, to a contact he had at the game studio, Harmonix, for extra credit.


I recently got word that my hoodie, received an Honorable Mention (2nd place) Award! For quality, gesture, and realistic folds. I also got a prize in the form of a bag from the company, so that was really nice! He wants a photo of the winners, so I better get some sleep and put my pretty face on! lol.

See more of my sculpt HERE.

Next, 

I submitted a small portfolio to get into a Hasbro Workshop, here at Ringling College, and they choose 20 participants out of a large number of applicants.

I was fortunately one of the 20 chosen to attend this great Workshop! They want us to sculpt an action figure character, and hopefully by the end of the workshop, they will choose someone (or a few people) to possibly get a freelance contract with them!

This was the work I submitted:

Lastly, 

I got a kind request to have one of my old illustrations added to a website for, Thatgamecompany, a very well known independent game studio. 

You can see the illustration here on this page: http://thatgamecompany.com/fan-art/fan-art-from-around-the-world/#more-2345. You just have to scroll down a bit. But here is for your convenient viewing:

This last 4 weeks have been VERY VERY busy, and it has no end in sight. I am working on a Thesis Pitch, which will be voted on by the faculty next week on Friday. I hope it passes! I won't be back for a while, but hopefully I will return with good news!

Have a great day!

BTW, updated my portfolio website, check it out! http://estherlovedesign.blogspot.com/

Gestures

I used the website http://lovecastle.org/draw/ to get my references. And it's great!! You can put how long you want the image to stay, and there are different categories of photos you can choose. Hands, horses, cats, heads, draped figures, and naked figures. :) This is becoming my favorite place to go now.

Thanks to Andrew for referring me to this place!

A quick sketch that may possibly represent a 3d scene that my friend and I will work on in the next month. I'm doing the human character, she will be doing the environment.

Christmas Day!

SURVIVED!! +1 at life.

I'll talk about school next time, but Winter Break has started and I'm in a drawing mood. 

Thank you ABC Family channel for showing me UP twice in one night, and making me see that Russel has a cute bright face mode. BTW, I just noticed that the old man parked the derigible in a handicap parking spot at the very end of the movie.

Just one more week.....
