GOD THIS HEAT!!!

I don’t know about you, but the amount of heat generated by the collection of electrical equipment I surround myself with is sometimes tiring The ‘heat’ is also being applied at University now with the assignments piling up! It’s all cool though;) I’ve spent more time doing some character art for the Z-Brush assignment which I hope to start modelling this week, another good chunk of life drawing was done to. Another highlight was playing the Mass Effect 3 demo. I was really psyched about it, although this was probably a bad idea. I really want to play the full game but with the assignments we’ve been dished out, I probably won’t have the time:( I’ll get to it eventually… It looked good in 3D though

Another video was released onto youtube from FZD, so thanks to them. It’s funny though, at the end of each video he says the next one will be on something specific and then the video comes its something completely unrelated:D

Work, Work!

Warcraft 3 reference ftw!

Been a busy start to the 2nd week of university. I’ve threw some time towards quickly creating some concepts for the Z-Brush assignment, ontop of which I created one of the Orthographics that are required. Roughly 7 hours has also been spent doing life drawing, most of which is optional or my own time. Due to this I think I’ve made a great dent into the assignment. I now have triple the amount of life drawing work then what I would have done if I only attended the compulsory session. Alot of the work is also in A2 format which means I can’t really post it until I get a new battery for my SLR; so, for now, I’ll post what A3 stuff I do.

Grades WOOT!

Week one, Semester 2 is drawing to a close, so what happened? We received a Z-Brush assignment, and a small level design task with the rest of this weeks lessons being an introduction to their respective modules. Good thing is that the only solid assignment that was dished out was the Z-Brush one with other assignments to follow in 2-3 weeks meaning that I can hopefully make a good headstart on the Z-Brush assignment. So I’ve started with some silhouettes and some concepts, I’ve also had abit of a dabble in Z-Brush getting used to Z-Spheres and trying to sculpt some base anatomy.

Today I also received my Semester 1 Grades and I’m immensely happy with what I attained. I achieved ‘A’ (1st) in all 3 of the Semester 1 modules averaging out at ~84-85% overall, so yeah an ace result, I hope all my peers achieved the result they wanted to and I look forward to trying to maintain that result through Semester 2. I’ve also added myself to LinkedIn, you can add me via my profile here :- http://www.linkedin.com/pub/lance-wilkinson/47/912/631

4,000 views and back @ uni!

Earlier today my site/blog tipped the 4,000 view mark, which I’m overjoyed about:D A great achievement considering it was only constructed in mid October.

Today also saw the return to University after a 3 week semester break. We received 2 assignments briefs related to life drawing and Z-brush, which I’m really psyched about So it’s time to go back into focus mode and get a decent start on this work>:D
