3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (11) New Render.

So, here is a new render of the Tank, with the small updates that I made and posted, nothing new besides that. Fixed it a little bit in Photoshop adding a background and enhancing the shadows.

** Edited the image to correct the background thanks to a friends commentary.

Speed Paint: Mad Doctor (2)

This may sound familiar, but unfortunately its true, lol, I haven't posted in a loooong time, mostly because of work; pretty much, I don't have a lot of time to do my own personal projects, but at least I had a little bit of time this weekend to post something. Well, I fixed a little bit of one of the Speed paintings I posted a while ago, its not much but its something.

Hope you guys like this.

I am posting also a new render of the Tiger I tank, It have no changes but its a new look for a presentation for a Workshop I am assisting this coming week with Greg Spalenka, btw I will post something about that when I finish =D. The tank will go on a different entrace to keep it better organized.

Speed Paint: Baby Devil

Other Speed Paint, also for CGTalk Daily sketch Challenge, this one is called "Baby Devil", I actually gave the topic. The time limit for this challenge was 50 mins, I went a little bit more, but I think its worth the extra mins.

I have 2 Pictures as usuall. Enjoy, and post your comments =D:

I will probably also enter into the Hardcore Modeling challenge of CGTalk, I will post the updates on that, more detailed, as soon as I start on it. I also have to take my computer to mantainance so I wont be able to post for a few days.

Speed Paint: Mad Doctor

Another speed pain for the Sketch of the Day in CGTalk forums, this one was called "Mad Doctor", this one took a little bit more than the other but was a really cool topic and very entertained to do. The time of the challenge was 55 mins, took me more so I have 2 pictures again. Post your comments at the end of the post =D.

Speed Paint: Red Bishop

So I am really into this challenges on CGtalk, I find them really inspiring, or at least those which I think have a cool topic. So, yea, I could let this new challenge named "Red Bishop" pass, I know it seems like I like birds, in fact I do, but this new topic was pure coincidence, I swear.

Even though I made the other one yesterday, I think I have improved a bit...not much, I am still a noob when talking about speed painting, but I am definitely getting better and faster. The time of the challenge was 65mn so I have 2 pics, one inside the timing and a final one; hope you guys like it:

Speed Paint: Penguin

Even though I have been busy, I managed to get a few minutes to do a speed paint for one of the -CGtalk Daily Sketch Challenges, called "Snow". I will try to do this challenges from time to time too, since they help me get faster when doing illustrations.

This is my first speed paint ever and also my first illustration entirely done in Photoshop, since I usually do a pencil sketch on paper first. Hope you like it.

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (4)

Today I worked a little bit more on the dragon. I painted the Antlers and the right paw.

Here are the screen shots:

I will try to go all out on the rest, If I manage to get enough free time. I will post it as soon as Its done.

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (3)

Today I worked a little bit more on the face and I added the mane ( I think that's how the hair is called); it still need some shadows but I will wait till I get the antlers and maybe even the body so i can get a better view on how the shadows have to go.

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (2)

I finally started with the Dragon, even though I know its better to go all the way and do the entire illustration with the basic colors, then the tones and background and finally the details, I decided to go a different way and do the face first, its more like an experiment to see if I can work with those steps but in parts; hopefully I will not have to fix much at the end. By the way, this is my first "Digital" Illustration, so expect lots of errors, at least till I get used to the Wacom for drawing.

Well, here is what I have so far:

I still have a lot to do and I will update my progress as soon as I can. Don't forget to post your comments.
