Alright, I think I'm basically done with the walk cycle for my animation! The turnaround and the jump cycle shouldn't take me as long thankfully.

While I haven't got many exciting things to show as I'm in the middle of finishing my last assignments, I thought I'd show the beginning of a new print I'm working on for this year's Perth Supanova. Although I like the colour scheme I've established for this illustration, I think I still need to create a stronger contrast for the lighting.

I might have more stuff to show for my flash animation project in the next day or so!

After attempting my canyon environment countless times, I've finally reached a point where I'm satisfied with the end product. The biggest aspect I've learnt from this model is how to prevent stretching with the texture on the mountains, something that was giving me grief around the last hurdle of this project.

The problem now is probably going to be my patience for the next assignment, where I have to use this environment for my animation, especially considering each render took about 30 minutes.. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out a way of culling down aspects of my model in order to reduce the render time.

Been a bit quiet here the past couple days, mainly due to the fact that last Friday I lost my drawing tablet pen. Against all odds my teacher actually found it, so feeling pretty relieved at the moment.. Excluding the fact that I've wasted my money on purchasing a replacement, but I guess it never hurts to have a spare.
Anyway! I've done a quick sketch tonight to get back into the swing of things. Will try to post some images of my 3D environment render in the next day or two.
