3D Modeling: Claqueta (2008) - (2)

As I promised, here is the test animation I made for the clapperboard model. The video is just 15 sec long but I think it shows the model movements capabilities.

3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (9)

Hello people, I am still working on the Tiger I, I am currently working on the front part of the main body; I think the tread looks good right now, even when I have to correct some stuff for animating it later, but I will just leave it like that 'till I finish the rest.

As for what is new, I added the mud guard pieces to the sides and in the front of the tank. Also added the spare "links" for the tread that go in the front of the tank, plus the bar that keeps them from falling. Added the drivers "window" and the 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun that goes in the front.

I am also posting some renders that didn't upload last time.

Front reworked, added Spare Links:

3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (7)

Its been a long time since I posted something on this blog, for different reasons, but anyways here is what is new of the Panzer.

Finished the last details of the turret, added the smoke grenade launchers. Also started the main body with the tank wheels.

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:

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (4)

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

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.
