For this week we looked at various compositions and had to create an illustration of our choice using one of the following composition types.  I decided on the circular composition...originally I had planned for the radial view, but as I continued, my progress became more of the circular composition.  Reference: Final illustration: Overall I spent about 1 hour gathering references and sketching and about 2 hours painting the final image. Edit: I decided that I  needed more practice, so I decided to do another one.  I gathered an image from the movie, My Neighbor Totoro, for my reference. Rough sketch: Final illustration: I spent about 6 hours on this assignment, 2 hours per drawing.

This week we all are modeling a cannon in Maya. I choose to go with a reference that had a unique and funny style to it.

For this project we are going to be working in teams to create a library of Lego like pieces in Maya. My teammates for this project are Cody Noll, Jessie Dunstan, Sound Wright, Bryan Colvin, Travis Stone Cleven, and myself. For the first assignment I wanted to create pieces that will be used to build shacks for our scene. Also I modeled Nux, a character from Mad Max, that we will be using for our project. Here's my lego piece and the model I made of it in Maya:     Here is a concept drawing of the character. Character modeled in Maya
