Well after a few days of doing nothing, I had another few brain waves... the drone from oblivion, is almost finished I just need to get the textures right!

Bart came after a Simpsons marathon, it was good but I doubt Ill go any further with it!

and well mario came after I was playing on a N64 emulator! such good memories

WOW its been a while!

Well its been a long time since I was on this last!
Nothing much has changed with my varied style of 3D modelling. But I have been busy and started to make many more creations, some aren't finished but I'll still post a pic of what them look like with a description.

This is my final piece of work, for last year... It also won 5th Place in Pixellab competition.

Watching a simpsons marathon got me thinking... and here is the thought! still working on the facial features but so far so good!

These two are my future project, for my third year I am creating a variable amount of illustrations, this being the start of one.

Some one told me that a beach scene with a view would be nice... here is my interpretation of a nice view! simple yet effective.

Okay here is my beast! my youtube channel has already previewed this beast but firstly.. that was a prototype... and now this is almost finished, just need to get the rigging down and sorted

Now is you have seen the recent movie 'Oblivion' This looks like one of those drones they use in the film... well its my interpretation of the model... no where near finished but so far I have the details of the guns down... thanks to some illustrations from my friends. 

Hope you enjoy reading this!
and check out my youtube once again :)

Cel renders of my work

Just a couple of videos showing the cel render and original images of my work.

Somethings i've been working on for final show!

Just imagine all these images on a big board, the robot will be in stereo scopic, still working on him at the minute.

the hospital room and the ice tower are both banners, approximately about 13400 pixel wide and 4000 pixel in height!

there is another image for the banner which is a space port/room, but no renders of that yet!

Wow.... so were done

Well this was my last week on my 2nd year course, only ting left to do now is my final show and then it is official, no more newcastle college... unless I get on 3rd year of course.
but right now its just working hard for a job and getting my self noticed, fingers crossed I get something.

Here is some things i've been working on recently... of course they aren't finished but they are nearing completion.
A hospital waiting room and then an actual patients room, either after a nuclear war and it was abandoned, now it is just a old room.

HAND IN WEEK!!!!

Well hand in week is upon us, it is the time we all dread, 3 projects all at once. now it has to come to an end, even though it is now han din week I am still getting distracted... which is a huge burden on mine, seeing a few people do some abstract work earlier today, I wanted to do some of my own.
the link to my youtube channel with the video is below also.

Evaluation of my past years

Over the past 2 years Being at newcastle college has been an experience to never forget, working on everything from drawing to 3d work has been a passion and it will never die!
since my drawing skills were not very ... well good at the start I think over the years it has improved slightly but in hindsight I do prefer 3D much more! and this is my direction, the past 2 years have shown me that I can complete work and do it in a excellent way!
I didn't think id learn so much about 3D, even though I did work harder over summer/xmas there is a lot of work that I want to complete!
Some of my best work has been completed in the final weeks of college, even though not all have been finished they are some of the best modelling I have done.
The work I like the most is the mills and the space craft, even though my work with organic models isn't going as well, the style to chose will be mechanical, the blocky side of 3D is what stands out most to me when I am modelling, the final 2 years have shown me that my dedication to work.
in conclusion, the past two years have been amazing and I wish I could stay to complete more work... if 3rd year is allowing me on then the fun continues

Plan for the last few weeks

Well College is coming to a close, and im completely bummed out about it!
no more college and no more daily routine...
for the rest of the week i will be completing my animation so I can finally make the trailer.

Also im making a trailer for my final animation instead of actually having a final complete animation!
Thursday - finish animation -set to render

weekend... prep the trailer sound etc
monday - portfolio work, complete the layout
tuesday - portfolio get confirmation  - overview of work based learning
thursday - finish portfolio, letter everything!!!!

friday - interview day

well this is brief but its helping!

Mech Suit

Well over the past few weeks Ive been excited about making a mech, bigg robot with bigg guns!
so here is the start and mid way through of it, still needs finishing off with modelling but so far so good with the body shape and everything, it even has a muzzle flash and rotating turrent, with excess of bullets.

Festivals

Picto Plasma
One of the biggest festivals known to all designers, Picto Plasma is a collaboration of certain peoples work, from Dude Factory to Jeff Soto. both im big fans of.
going from Berlin to New York etc it is widely known across the globe. even though this year I could not afford the trip, I have been keeping up with all the notifications on the website. considering all the different artists which are there the characters that they have come up with are so simple yet so amazing, they have given me and a lot of my friends a lot more inspiration of what they can draw like as what they should finish off.

Animex

feeling ashamed that I couldn't even go to this festival even though it was based in my hometown, Too much work going on, but the best thing is the artists and everyone else who went were still in Middlesbrough as I had my interview, so I could still have a few talk with them in private... back to the festival  they show many different pieces of work and many talks held by different animators, such as will becher, for aardman studios, and Rob Dressel who is a layout superviser for Disney.
It isn't a well known festival as it hasn't been broadcast that much, but the people who go to it are high up in the industry, an honour to meet them. the experience of working with them would be greatly accepted.

Artists jeff soto

Jeff Soto
Well seeing jeff at picto plasma has put me in a downer, his work is amazing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5J25Dj3eGxI) video of jeff working at picto plasma, the lucky of the people at picto plasma seeing it in person.

Working today

Working today with 2073 got me in the mood to continue at home! so here is a early pic of something i started ages ago!
some textures and lighting makes things go quite well

Analog Dust Ident

Once again sorry, but the youtube link isn't working

Other ideas that have been made

Okay.... I really need to do work! but not until I do some random models... again
Getting inspiration from other people, Ive come up with the dragster destroyer, a mobile drag with spikes and hell blazer.. no where near finished but this is what I have so far.

mill and shack!

the distractions have grown! well a bit, I still need to work on the textures.
here are some of the experimental pics i've done with different physical skies.

Distractions

Well considering I have to get my final project done about 5 weeks, Im getting really distracted on just filling my head up with random makings...
now im onto a farm scene! a mill with a shack, not the final image, of course but the start of something... im sure.

building up the portfolio

So almost time for final show, only 5 weeks, its coming really fast and damn its going to be good!
so building up my portfolio! another chore but great time to work with my models!
Recently I've been looking into old abandoned light houses, given ideas from my tutor, Im going to make a stil scene, where a old light house on a cliff side, with a ship wrecked container ship with massive claw marks in the side, floating in the shallows, containers floating in the sea and on the shore, in a foggy distance a creature lurks  only seeing the outline and shading of this monster.

This is whats i've got so far

Updated space ship!

Getting further with it, Making the interior of the craft is quite difficult, just getting the right textures and placement for things is harder than I expected!
the two rods on the first image, that is going to be a touch screen! after effects will be a savior  the textures aren't final and the body will be changing a little!

Paul Hess Visit

Seeing Paul hess on friday, was a interesting day, I learnt a lot about how structured his work study was, even though he is a freelancer, he has many jobs on the go!

work pfft

Yeah, Im suppose to be doing work, yet im still just randomly playing on cinema 4d! trying to get the space ship type thing finished!
I might place it into a Estings, just so the model wont be wasted on a random video! give it some kind of vitality.

New Name

I've been thinking for Soooooo long that I  need a name change, since Instinct vs Impulse is a good name its just not as sharp!
so SC Creations is what I'm going with, just so simple yet straight to the point!
Its not the finished logo as of yet, some more changes are on the way!

Business card idea

Just a quick idea of what my business card could look like, even though, no contact details, its just the back ground image for now!
Who knows, it might be a different character, or added extras...

Portfolio Stuff

Well since I need to update my portfolio and things, im just making random things to look good in a scene.

So here is a few images of recent random makings, a shack in the middle of the desert, which will have a character in it.

and the space ship will have a space scene, then will land on the shack scene!

kinda mixing them up a bit.
