Ive been getting BUSY lately!

Santa Ahri!

So i've finished the concept for my "Santa Ahri" Riot Contest entry. Now on to sculpting it soon! :) Hope to get this finished on time but i cant make promises D;

Santa Ahri

I've been crammed recently with studio work, running 10-11 hour shifts. Really trying to do what i can to assist in releasing our projects ASAP. Though after work, i'm trying to push towards working on the Polycount Riot Contest that's come up. I will be approaching a Santa Themed Ahri! :D Hope all goes well, and good luck to all the others that're participating. For now, he's a thumbnail i began.

productive breaks.

So after grad and my little vacation, the question i've been asked alot is "have ya got a job yet?"

the answer in simple terms, no.

Though this doesnt mean i've lost motivation and went in an unproductive state! i've been doing freelance work for an upcoming mobile game. Though this leads me to the title of this post.

Productive Breaks!

When working in general, i've created myself a habit to taking what i like to call "productive breaks". This means i'm taking a break from a continuous stream of work, Though this break doesn't consist of playing a video game. As it consists of the word "productive", i do something related to improving my work but as a break. I developed this habit after my realization during school that i needed to focus harder.

For example: I'll be in Maya/Max for like 8 hours straight, and i decided to take a break. My break might consist of me doing a painting for an hour. This allows me to get back to the work having a different perspective in it, noticing errors that i didn't notice previously since i was working hours on straight.

Here's a sketch i started on one of my recent breaks:

No more breaks!

Been on vacation for a bit too long and its time to resume on the grind! Here are some images of a new piece im working on as it'll be posted on polycount.

painting for the day

painting for the day is done! i've been planning to create a new portfoliio piece recently. I found the perfect concept to work with this time so the workflow should be pretty steady with less bumps :) progress images will be uploaded as i begin to work on it.

xnormal artifact

i've been trying to fix this artifact recently and it's been giving me the biggest issues.....though posted this image in polycount to get some feedback.

Artgerm!

Artgerm recently released his lineart for availability to use by others so i tried my go at it :)

I learned alot in this painting as i finally get to use my time to draw and paint again now that im graduated.

Ngov3D

so i'm near graduation (2 weeks) , getting my website and stuff ready so i decided to rename my links and usernames to something more..professional? i was going to go for ArtbyTravis but i asked around and got alot of input , it was quite even whether to us an N at the end or not but then a friend of mines really discussed how important the name of an artist is so i decided to just go with Ngov3D. So soon my website will be up, inlcuding a demo reel, traditional work, etc.

portrait study

was waiting for my traditional work to dry so i did a portrait study

I'm near finishing a challenge a couple of friends and i started on fb ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/796377547054484/ ). Here's the result of the challenge atm:
