Blender projects

Recently I have been working quite a bit with blender, and here are some more pictures that I have made, then rendered. Some have taken a while, and others haven't.

This is modeled after my self, but I have not attached the ear to my head or added textures and hair, which I plan to do.

I did not make the monkey. I just put a screen together playing with the different settings.

Tell me what you think, and if you like them. Which is your favorite? Tell me in the comments below!

Working with Blender

Recently I have been working with a program called blender, which is an open source program. I posted about it before. You can go to their site here: http://www.blender.org/. I have learned to do this mostly by online video tutorials, and just practice, practice, practice! And I am "new" to this program! There are amazing things people have done with it. Just look around a bit on their site. You can go to the download link here: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/. Also, if you are a mac user, you might want to download "magicprefs" it will make it so that you have a middle click on your magic mouse.
Here are the pictures. I did all of these.

This is the first Micro organism/virus that I did.

This is the second Micro organism/virus that I did.

Here is a picture of the program in the process of getting ready to render it.

This is the third Micro organism/virus that I did. This one took the least amount of work to make.

A goblin guy that I made a while ago

A different angle of the goblin.

A model of an elf like guy.

Picture of the elf guy inside the program, before rendering. I did this one a long time ago.

This is the one that was the longest time ago, and I forgot to save this mesh, so this is the only thing I have left of it.

Just a simple mountain range. The texture is made up of a picture I took on a road trip of the asphalt where it was cracked.

I also made two animations, The first is not very good at all, and it was my first. The second was better, and it is my second animation.

Please tell me what you think! I enjoy reading your comments!

SPIDERS!!

So my brother, friend and I, just finished watching "Castle in the Sky, and about half way through the credits, a SPIDER bee-lined right at US, going as fast as its legs would cary it! Aughhh! My brother quickly grabbed a exercise ball that was down there and pounded it into the ground. Of couse he didn't die, they never do. But in the end, we caught more than 12 spiders in15 minutes. It sure makes me want to go down there now. Here are some more pictures.

Manga Boy (2)

Here is my progress. Just so you guys know, the scribbles are hirigana, and mean "ami" the japanese word for rain.

Manga Boy (1)

I started drawing manga recently, and I have been practicing, and checking out every book in the library on the subject. I also saw a friends manga art and decided that I liked it. Also, about two weeks ago I went to a manga art class too. Then a few days ago I bought a pogo sketch and Inklet, which arrived yesterday. The pogo sketch is basically a stylus that transfers your electric curent though the tip. Inklet makes a pressure sensitive and turns a magic trackpad or macbook track pad into a drawing tablet. It cost about $30 If you buy them together. I am using Inklet with adobe photo shop. You can try a demo of inklet from the ten one site. I have been testing it out and here is the progress. By the way, I will add hair.

Thanks for looking!

Art Class

 On Tuesday I got to go to an art class, and I drew this hand holding a marble while I was at it. The shades are off, and it didn't smudge very well because I was using a HB mechanical pencil, and not 2B. By the way, H is the light and hard side of the spectrum and B is the dark and soft opposite. The number refers to how much of that kind it is. For example: If I have a 4B pencil and a 1B pencil, the 4B is darker. Your comments are welcome.

IF: beginner

   Hey guys, I'm back! I have been wanting to do an Illustration Friday post for some time now (by the way, IF stands for Illustration Friday). I hope that I will get some more followers from this post, but if not, thats Ok. Now for the actual picture, It is when I was 6 I think. I will expand the process tomorrow hopefully. Here is the process:

    I took a scan on the actual picture, and printed it out. I then put a one inch grid on it and marked each line with a number or letter.

 After I did this, I made a separate grid on my watercolor paper of the proportions that I liked, making sure to keep the squares the same length on all sides. I drew what I saw as the most defying features on the face continuing to work around each block individually, working from the top left hand corner to the bottom right hand corner.

   Then looking at the picture as a whole, I made few touch ups.

   Next, I painted the entire face a light tan wash, except for the highlights in the eyes.

 Next I painted the very top and botom of the eyes blue, also adding another tan wash to the skin.

I continued adding washes and such until I had the face and neck completed.

 I then painted the shirt, and then the backdrop.

Finished!

Blender!

One of my friends is going to robotics with Chad (That is where they build huge robots to do objectives on a course. I think they weigh about 100 pounds!)and he is doing the animation part of the program, in they are using a program called "Blender". There are a lot of movies being made with this program too. I have been messing around with the program, and watching a few tutorials. This is my second creation.

This is supposed to be a ball on top of a cube.

The second one that I made is the image below

And the third,

This one is an alien! I took a screen shot of the program, but it didn't display the bottom.

This is the last and best one that I have made:

FRONT

SIDE

Tell me what you think, and what you think that I could do better.

Tree

I think I did this in fall, but I miss the leaves on the trees, and I don't like the dead, brown ones out on the lawn. I wish it would snow more here.

Manga

I did this one a while back too, just wondering, was I supposed to pencil it first, and then ink it.

Send a reply!

General

I drew this a while ago, when I was trying to draw generals, but in the end, I really only liked this one...

Space ship,

When I was drawing this, I wasn't really planning to draw a scifi space ship, that looked like it came out of a movie like "Star Wars", or "Star Trek", but more of doodling. It didn't turn out as a doodle though, I have a hard time with doodling...

Banana

This is a banana watercolor with ribbon. with this one, I was trying to work with shadows.

Tree frog.

This is a watercolor also, I hope you like it!

(That is a cricket in its mouth, just so you know. =) )

Eagle

   This is a watercolor of a bald eagle that was on a magazine cover, I have been meaning to get this and several other paintings and drawings up on the blog. I will try to keep it updated
