Well here I start again. I know two blogs, and no artwork. Well it is on the horizon. I don’t expect anyone to read all of this, but here is some of the pre-production stuff that I am working on to get myself going. I have planned out the next set of artwork for while. My mission. Create 1 environment from concept all the way through modeling and texturing, and hopefully slam it into unreal III. Create 3 characters, all my own concept, and model them. 2 of them will be placed in that environment. The third character will be more company specific, there is two places I would like to work for that have a certain style and Premise and I would like to gear something toward them. This week I plan on working on conceptart.org character of the week. I love being overwhelmed hehehe. Here are the character profile sheets. I am not the best story teller, this is just something to get me going. Honestly I recommend them. They have helped me answer questions I would probably be asked or have to answer at some point before I even but out the pencil. Good times.
