just a little doodle... :D

I was watching traditional Korean dances..
Fan dance was especially divine..!
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy7FLgFSZoA)
And the Korean Ministry of National Defense Traditional Band performance was amazing as well!
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DqHq_HnGyE)
Inspired by that I did a little doodle!

I have always been interested in traditional Korean clothes, Hankbok.
More exploration is definitely needed! XD

Reflective house anyone? XD

So here I am working with lights once again.. and then I realized....!



House's wall and wood beams look bit too bright with weird line of light...
I know that global illumination bounces the photons around but that line of light was really bugging me...
Looked at it very closely and then I realized it must be the material!
And as I suspected, the material was Phong E with 0.5 reflectivity.. NO WONDER! XD




This is the shot after getting rid of the reflectivity..
Much darker :D!!

Now I am working with the window lights..
I'm definitely going to play around with sunlight a little bit more though..

+ Once again, the model that I am lighting is from a lighting challenge from 3DRENDER.COM

Life Drawing :D

GESTURES

LONG POSES

FOOT STUDY

I've really really REALLY enjoyed 3rd year life drawing.
We tried so many new things that showed new side of my life drawing.
Marker gestures were done with marker attached to a long stick.
It makes you really loose in terms of control but that gives it more life which I lack in my life drawings.

I will post the second portfolio which has more fun stuff later since I had to submit them for mark.. :D

Return of the blogger!

I'm back! with new name for my blog!
School was hectic.. at least for me anyway..
I didn't really have time to work on my portfolio so might as well start the blog again and keep track of things!!
For a starter, I present to you...

LIGHT OVERKILL

mental ray global illumination working overtime, I would say.. XD

My computer takes forever to render things and it's really annoying me...
The school is doing storage upgrade on the computers so I don't think I have access to it for awhile..
I am thinking of upgrading my graphic card and adding memory.....
Should be much cheaper than buying whole new system, right? :D

[DN] Guild

*****

I've joined new guild!
I met the guild master few months ago and when he said he will take me to Sea Dragon Nest, I told him I WILL JOIN!!!!!
Now, new problem arose.. I am having difficulty with what to call people when I am conversing on TalkOn (online voice chatting program)
I'll think about that tomorrow.....
It's nice to have people to form party and ask for help and what not..
Guild members are all so nice to me as well.. good people o_O!!
Back to do more drawings.. :P

Maya is killing me....

I've worked on a tutorial for 3 days, but it's not doing what it needs to do....
I don't even know where it went wrong.......
Maybe I should do some drawing for the rest of the week and tackle this fresh next week....

Or maybe work on the other tutorial... I'll see.........

★ Dragon Nest ★

What do to when there is no party leader......
(In DN, the party leader is suppose to have a gold crown in front of the name on the party list..
But there is no one in the party with the crown lol)

*****

I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE!!! fan of Eyedentity's Dragon Nest (DN) :D
Apparently, NA is doing open beta currently...
I am playing in Korean server and users are expecting a big big update in about 4 hours or so...
Jumping Character (lv 45 character), Academic (new character), New server, and new swim suit costume!!

Hopefully they won't have any delays this time... my fingers are crossed!! XD
Now this calls for some decent fan art doesn't it!!

Dragone Nest (DN) is an action MMORPG.
You go into instanced dungeon with a party (4 characters or less)..
The game itself is very fast paced.. AND non-targeting.
There is no such thing as you hit once and then the monster hits once like other MMORPG games.
You either hit'em hard and evade or die trying XD
At first it might hurt your eyes and head because you are not used to it.
Once you get into it, you cannot play other 'conventional' MMORPG, because you will be so used to the DN's battle speed, that other games will feel like slow-mo.. :P

hmmm....

can't concentrate..............
I'd better do more work tomorrow.. or today I guess.. :D...
