So, I wasn't pleased with the way this caricature was coming out. I'm currently making facial alterations. Here is a look of the face I'm using.
And here's what I have thus far...
I don't like this one, either. I'll be uploading my next rendering in a few...
Hello, blog. Miss me? I'm only back because I'm creating my ode to the hottest radio show in the galaxy. This is what I have so far. I shall return.
I was attempting to create a cartoon spoof, complete with my typical brand of sarcasm and witty throwaway remarks. I wrote a brief script and everything... But to create 3D versions of each individual character is wearing me out. So, I'm taking a break on that for now. Here is the one scene that I managed to complete...
I wasn't exactly ignoring my blog... I simply forgot that I had one.
The original face and body on this caricature was created around 2013 by me to use as a test model. It was a personal means of creating better skin texture, designing proper hair flow, learning how to add decals, and also testing the new meta-rig for poses.
So, I was looking for a piece to work on when I remembered that this model was still in limbo. It took me less than a day to create a costume, add a cute scene in the background, develop appropriate lighting, and render the final result.
Not bad, I think.
I'm working on too many projects at the same time. So, in between I work on little numbers like the one above. At least I could say I completed something.
"Halle and her Berries 2014."
(What's the real meaning behind this piece? There is none. It's just a bad play on words.)
But, it's something. I'm going to tinker with the hair a little longer before declaring this a completed piece. (Maybe, I'll adjust those strawberries, too. And that bikini top. And the background. Perhaps, even the foreground. We'll see...)
But, this is a good start.
