Two New Pieces

Sorry about the long break in updates, the holidays are always super busy. I went back to Ohio to see my friends and family, which was really nice because it actually snowed! But anyways, this week I have two new props added to the portfolio section, the finished pumpkin pie painting that I showed a preview of in my last update and my first glass prop.

I used phototextures to add quick detail to the pumpkin pie slice–a technique I learned from my friend and fellow CCAD alum, Chris Oatley. The glass unicorn is a prop that has special meaning to me in regards to a long term project that I’ve been planning since I was in high school. It was difficult to render on a grey background (since glass is the sum of what it reflects), so I decided to focus on the refractions of the light inside the unicorn and subtle shading picked up from the shadow.

Also, the last image is my most recent work in progress, a pail for Jack & Jill. I have finally gotten around to rendering my long love, woodgrain!
