3D From Glasgow

I recently spent a semester abroad at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland, studying animation, 3D design, and web development.  The stay was amazing and I learned a lot, especially in using 3dsMax.  I had a background in using AutoCAD so it wasn't too hard to jump into a second-level course and start creating.  By the end of the semester we were to present an organic and architectural model, along with short videos showing them off.  These are my first 3D creations.

Organic, character from sketches

Architectural, connected towers on floating islands

Biomedical Rendering

I took a class specifically focusing on doing biomedical rendering for medical books and teaching, but what was really being taught was attention to detail and patience.  Most of the class was spent on only a few projects as each one took a lot of time to bring to finished quality.

Illustrate a Word- Behemoth

An assignment from a little ways back.  After picking a word the intention was to create a scene that best depicts that word's definition.

Zine

Drawn and inked, then scanned into Photoshop for the value, color, and halftones.  Assignment was to create an 8 frame comic with a complete story, and I'm a sucker for dragons.  The final frame is all images together, meant to be printed on an 11x17 paper and folded into a short comic.

Originally a collaborative piece with fellow students who were each assigned a card and given free reign with what illustration to do.  Watercolor, pencil, pen, and Prismacolor pencil.
