being busy

Well, I can make all kinds of excuses for not being able to update this blog, but there's one thing that explains it all:

Yeah... a new baby decided to drop by in the middle of Dec 2010 and was busy preparing and taking care of her lately.


Anyway, here are stuff I've created since the last update:

Concept art practice.


What I did different this time was to not use default round brush but customized it to square shaped brush for eraser and brush.


Result was... it was not much different from a round brush.


I also tried to use more layers this time than before so I could play with layer effects. I used blur for motion or movement(don't know the exact translation for this) to add some movement to the illustration. However, doing too much seemed a bit distracting.

Anyway... I saw some improvement from my last painting I did for fun:


after I got this from my relative (shitake) :p




I started off with white base color, and that made the illustration a bit blurry. As a result, I used black from the start for my recent illustration, and it showed some improvement. Hopefully, I could improve more on the way.

Update

Once again, it's been more than a month since I last updated this blog. I have been busy lately so I wasn't able to update Japanese blog as well.

The latest illustration is up only in Pixiv since it was for a contest. As a result, I can only put a link to it:
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=14061391

It's viewable for members but non-members can view a thumbnail.


What's different between last and this month is that I got Vray for Cinema 4D. As a result, I could have better render for my 3D CG. However, it's taking longer than usual to get use to it :3



Anyway, other stuff I did besides it:

I used Vray for this as well:

Hmmm...

forgot to update this blog in a while- three months to be exact since

1. I didn't have internet for a month since I moved to a new place
2. I was away on my wedding ceremony/honeymoon
3. away on another trip
4. sleeping and eating
5. Preparing for a big wedding party
6. busy with another big event of my life at the end of this year (secret since I don't know if it will work out). :D


Yeah... so my life has been a bit of hectic lately since it changed so much since Feb.


Anyway, since I can't put all stuff up since Feb, I will just put illust and photos that represent what I did since Feb.


Here I go from oldest to newest:

I have some simple 3D CG models uploaded in Clip Studio website (Japanese site for IllustStudio/Comic Studio users) under the username Vole36. I will change that in a month or two to my usual one though.

This was created from my usual doodle like 3D CG activity:
