Perusing my sketchbook after my vacation

I was in Kelowna last weekend for a family reunion. Took the time to do some 3D work and draw in my sketch book. This first image I drew of the lake when a sail boat came by:

Somewhat rusty for some reason. But it felt good to flex the pencil muscle. Also flipping through my sketch book I came across some old pieces.



As for the 3D work I did on vacation, I've been working on this character. Kind of like an Indiana Jones but a girl. My friend Jill actually, so I call her Indiana Jill. I started playing around with Maya hair to get her curls. Having some success, at least at a starting point. (Yes I know the hair is crashing through the hat, one problem at a time :))

The Reference

Photoshop fun

Yesterday I was having a little fun while hallucinating from cold medication. Attempting to create a logo for this company. They wanted something to convey luxury and prestige. Images like Aztec feathers and coins were examples they gave. So I found a fantastic image of a woman wearing Aztec feathers and I played around with some filters in photoshop to get it imprinted on a coin. The final result being in the bottom right of the following image. The coin image on the top right I used to attach the figure image to and for the rim impressions.



The final logo I created was something like this


Wish me luck in the contest!
