Semester 4: Venture Track

Along with doing a portfolio piece every month this semester, we have a class called "Venture". This class makes up start a pretend company and we have to create a business using different techniques we learned. The artists have banned together and decided to "start" a company to be an asset store. My first objective for this company is to make a few different material balls to better show off some digital painting and texturing skills.

Semester 4: Project Ideas

My ultimate goal is to work for any MMORPG company, so for this final semester, I am finding props, characters or environment pieces from popular MMORPG's and making them.

Here are my three ideas for the semester:

The first portfolio piece I want to make is the Cenarion Hippogryph Hatchling from WoW. It's an old model, and I feel like I should be able to make an updated and better version of it. I also do not have strong ZBrush pieces, and think this would be a great one to start with.

My second month project is another small diorama that will be use ZBrush skills.

And my third project will be yet another environment diorama, the second image below. 

Project 2: Final Diorama

With the conclusion of the summer semester, the diorama is finished!

All final shots of my projects will now reside on my portfolio website at: kcbradyart.wordpress.com

Please view my final project there to see the results!

Project 2: Diorama Textured

After laborously and furiously learning how to texture, this was my final result. We have one more week to bring this to life, but this is my static image of all the texturing working together.
