Hideout - Time Lapse

2010-03-20T17:29:00.000+01:00

This is A 3 week project I did in school. Most of the Models i did my self. I did all the texture, shading, lighting and composition. It was done in maya 2010, Fusion 5,3 and Primiere Pro CS4.

It is a gangster hideout, I image somebody living their, trying to pass time. It is dirty and in the big city. Comments are welcome.

Colour week

2010-01-23T18:15:00.005+01:00

...So one more week with lawrence. It was a week with almost no sleep. It was crazy. I did a lot of thumbnails, and praticed with colour. In the last day we had to finish a painting. It is about A5. I made the Sea Witch's house from the Little Mermaid.

The line art:

With Values:

Acrylics colours:

I think the final picture could have used some more detail, but it turned out great anyway. I really like the colours. The scanning makes the quality worse. Besides that I'm really proud of the lineart.

Let me know what you think.

Architecture with Guillermo Yanguez

2010-01-16T15:41:00.003+01:00

I analyzed Second Story Sunlight:

The last 2 days we had to make our own image, but within the Hopper Space, so we had to use the same elements that he uses. I came up with this:

Software: Maya, Mental ray, Photoshop

Info:
The final result of a 7 weeks school project.

I would just like to thank, Chris Turnham, Kevin Dart, Anna Kubic & André Bergs, my teachers during this project.

I have never spent so long time on a image, and it was really cool to see how much you can do, and find your limit.

I made the 3d in maya, textures and composing was made in photoshop.

Design Week

2009-11-01T18:25:00.004+01:00

We had 1 week of design with Lawrence. I really learned a lot about comporsision. It was nice.

Most of the times we had a subject, and we had to make a picture out of it. The first we made was just to make 3 boxes and a line, but no distances should be the same. After that we had a subject each day, which we had to make a abstract picture out of.

3 boxes and 1 line:

Strawberry Icecream:

Champagne:

Jazz Music:

Hell:

Jumbo, The Cirkus Freak

2009-11-01T00:03:00.005+01:00

A concept i did in 1 week ! With the help of 2 great teachers Chris Turnham and Kevin Darts.

He is a gaint bug who was captured in the jungle. He is not dumb, but still his is very much like a child. And this places bore him a lot, so his is very depressed.

Finally I got the pics onto a computer, so you can see how it turned out. Im pretty happy with it. Though the rough clay look is not a artishtic choice, but lets just say it is :D

I spent some time on it. Comments are appreciated.

2009-09-09T17:57:00.007+02:00

Out teacher for the week wanted us to make painting only with splating and wierd stuff, afterwards we should find characters in the painting og draw them out.

I think this is my best Characters:

This is how it looked:

I thinks its a different approch, but it was fun, and the result is surprisingly good. Some of the guys in my class really made some cool stuff.

The Dream, Short

2009-09-08T23:10:00.007+02:00

The first two weeks at the CGA line we did a short movie. Our teacher Sunit helped us a lot, he has been working on the twins in Matrix Reloaded, so he know is stuff. Pretty cool right? ;)

The short is made in maya, with cut outs, and images from the internet. The baggrounds and the main character is draw by us. It's made by me and 3 other guys. The voice is by Andreas Troelsen.

Whos is that guy?
