The beginning...(small update)

Here's a very small update since the last. I started working out the the placement of her clothes. I had to adjust the torso some to reflect my reference more. I also started adding the base model of some of the clothes details. The model is still very blocky, but slowly progressing...

The beginning...

I started noodling away at the model. She's coming along very slowly... I'm trying to take my time so that the base model is proportioned how I want it to be. I am tinkering with how exaggerating certain aspects will affect the model.

On another note, I just visited Reno, Nevada for the first time (yesterday). The area is very cool and much different then anywhere I have been before. I got my wedding plans started and I'm very excited! I can't wait to spend more time in Reno.

Character design WIP [orthographic views]

For the past couple days, I have been working on this steam punk design. I want to push my modeling skills to the limit. I eventually want to model and rig this character so that I can do some practice animation cycles with her. Who knows what the future will hold for this character.I have yet to name her or decide where she's going. This is mainly a warm-up piece that I hope to add to my portfolio.

The moment of reckoning has come

I finally broke down and started my first art progression blog. I am hoping this blog will get me updating my artwork on a regular basis. As an animator, I am constantly getting lost in my work and need to find alternate ways to occupy my time while also keeping my work up to date on the web. Since this is my first post, I will leave with a link to my website:
More updates to come shortly...
