Recent uni work - bronze artifacts

These are a part of a course dealing with interdisciplinary visualization techniques. Basically presenting your product in different ways.

I've been playing too much Diablo 3, so I decided to make these into magical artifacts created by the blacksmith in the game.

Stoic

Back to painting. This originated from one of those previous thumbs. Trying to make a stoic banner wielder.

Selected comps

Made a few more of those Pollock-thingies and collected the thumbs that I found could work for something. All I see now is a blond, brunette, redhead. What do you see?

Wild compositions

Trying new ways to come up with ideas. I followed a tutorial by Pixeltuner of ca.org and ended up with this. 32 compositions. While some are worse than others, these are very raw and you can get more ideas if you flip the canvas vertically to see it in a new way, or invert the colors. Fun way to loosen up and come up with ideas.

I realised when going through these individually that my mindset limited my imagination. If I thought "ok look for space environments" then that's what I would get. If something looked like a face then I would be stuck with that image. I suppose when it comes to finding something out of these it boils down to your visual library.

3D Ballpoint Pen

School assignment. We had to replicate our this pen as accurately as possible using a caliper. Fortunately my dad found a digital one somewhere and gave it to me, so this went a little faster than it would've otherwise. Still, those small parts took lots of hours. I modelled and rendered this for almost 5 days.

This and the previous were modelled and rendered on Rhinoceros 3D program, as that's the only one I can use right now.

3D Shovel

Epic Battle Shuvel of the Rhino. Starting to enjoy 3D modelling, just not sure how long this program would take me, if I have to pick up another program along the way. Dunnoe.

Afterthought: What good is a shovel with holes in it :S
