Oooh My Giddy Aunt...

...it's been almost a YEAR since my last post?! Disgraceful.
Uhh, have some old sketches while I pull myself together to post more regular-like.

Sheesh.

Painting Babies.

Apparently this is a thing I do. Well, for family members anyway. There are a couple more, but I guess I never scanned them.

*EDIT:  got given a couple snapshots of the missing ones. Will hopefully be able to get higher res later. Also, apologies for the lack of updates, been busy with work/illness/relocating - I'd promise to post soon but...

Will Travel.

Remind me never to give an ETA on personal projects. This will eventually  go on the luggage rack of the car. Also, if anyone out there has good rendering or normal mapping tips for Maya please send them my way.

Small update

This looks likes such a minimal update it's almost a case of 'spot the difference', but I told Kate I'd post what I've done so far, so there you have it. Also, that suitcase is going through an identity crisis, and as soon as that's resolved I'll post it in all its textured glory.

Decoy

Still fiddling with the Goggomobil, but in the meantime here's a suitcase model:

I'll finish off the texturing in the next couple of days, and hopefully get another WIP shot of the car in.

Car WIP

I'm still slowly plugging away at the Goggomobil. Very, very slowly. This is what I have so far, still need to tweak the body some and add more detail. Then there's the bumper, the interior and seats, separate out the doors, the steering wheel...wheel axles...door hinges.....texturing.....oh dear.

A peculiarity with this vehicle is that the tires tilt inwards, I thought that was interesting, and must be hell on tread wear.

If anyone has any car modeling tips please send them my way :)

Excuses and such

It's been awhile since I posted and I still don't have anything finished to put up here - cos I have a job! Yay!
As a consolation prize here's something pretty cool from Arcade Fire that Gabe (from work, hehe) discovered today:

works best in Chrome, apparently.

PS: I promise I'm still working on stuff
- as proof here's a small very rough WIP, the rest of it is currently in too tragic a state to post.
