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...

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

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.

Plan for the week!

This week/easter I will get finished the channel 4 seven and channel 4 ident done and dusted so that the remainder of the work to be done is the final animation.

The channel 4 ill include images of the shows that have been previewed on Channel 4 Seven, the channel 4 will be a back drop of newcastle/Middlesbrough and have moving segments.


As a preview, here is something i've been working on for the past few days.
no where near finished but just a random making I have done.

New Improved teleport

Well Its better! in my eyes anyway, using different footage and better timing, this one is better.
hope you all like
