Gah this sickness is lasting longer then I expected, been to the hospital and got myself a boat load of pills to take for the next fortnight.

In the mean time I’m working on the different projects and did a little more work on Fiona (yeah its been a while). I’ve got the fur technique working about 75% of the way in cycles but I still have to fix the lighting issues I’m getting across the fur. For now I animated the head and did a quick head twist test in blender render. The renders only 25% of the original size, so much of the details been lost, but it took several hours to render so it was the best I can manage at present.

Sickness, Cold and Models

Gah what a couple of weeks, the weather has plummeted and I’m bouncing from well to sick to somewhere in between. I had plans on streaming models and such but its just not been in the cards. I hope to get some time to recover in the next few  days and get back into the modelling. In the mean time here is the wip of Cookie and Brann.

CandBwipI’m not too happy with the cutie marks yet so I might rework them a bit to try and make them fit into the model better. Also Cookies freckles, I didn’t just make them solid colour like in the comic, so again more tweaking needed.

Any hopefully Ill be better soon and back to a more regular modelling schedule.

Progress so far

Hello all just to show I haven’t been sitting about since the poll here is the state of the models so far since last friday.

Friday night had a hankering for modelling just about anything, then had a idea on a bear dancer, in a old suit and slacks with a fedora hat.

After a few hours I had the head done and felt like going on further.

Total work was roughly 3 hours

Here is a 3 stage model I did of a female mountain gorilla, it was meant to be its own thing, but I had a rough Saturday where I lost 3 hours work due to a laptop crash during rigging some work, so I had to vent some anger on something creative. So here is a 3 stage design of a gorilla head. About 3/4 hours work.

Gorilla-head

Heres the making of video too:

Finally I got started on Brann from Cookie and Brann the OC ponies.

Some rough Wip shots of the front and side to tied you over till I get details sorted.

BRANN-wip-TDW2013Sorry no video for this one, I still have issues with saving and decent frame rates under Blender, although I might have a option soon through Open broadcaster so time will tell.

I think that tied over people for a bit till I get some more time to finish these off. Till then enjoy :D

AND THE RESULTS ARE IN!

Well that was a roller-coaster of a week, I had thought it was a done deal in the beginning but from the back came the runaway winners to storm ahead during the middle of the week!

So at the finish line with a clear neck lead (pun intended) is…………………..

Cookie and Brann 

Second place goes to

Milkyway

The model orders after them will be :

  1. Molly and Gamer Luna

  2. Fluffle Puff

  3. Velvet and Strap

  4. Hot bloodedpinkie pie

  5. Backy

Thank you all who participated. :)

Back from my teaching week time to prepare for more modelling.

Well its been a solid week of training, and my back is killing me. But at least I got to clear some cobwebs from my mind on some tricks so it was worth it.

In other news I’m putting a poll up for making the next OC gift pony. Poll will last a week and the winner gets first dibs on being built.  (most will get built but the winner is first). If it goes well I might even try it in my older less toony style. And if its REALLY good day Ill stream it too.

Gah what a pause!

Well that short period turned into a longer one, I have been working my socks off in my new job and the time when I’m not working is mainly either sightseeing or socializing with the neighbours. The weather is fantastic and I’m absorbing as much of the culture as I can.

In the few days I’m not working however I have been itching to get a model done or two. Although I had hoped to have done something with Blender Cookie I haven’t had a chance to talk to them further on the subject so I instead I settled on some simple remakes of more OC ponies.

Here’s Button’s Mum of “Buttons Adventures”.

The Last poster was done using a image from http://mlp-vector-collabs.deviantart.com/ . The 3D render was done by me and the character and design goes to JanAnimations (I think, I apologise if there is a specific person who came up with the design) http://www.youtube.com/user/JanAnimations?feature=watch . Done in a few hour, with tweaks to the face and new mane and tail.
