The Animal within contest hs begun...Yesterday
Feb 15 is the starting date.
I am super stoked. I managed to be the first submit my idea, and so far the idea is catching on, and people like it.
Although i do need to color, but I figured that I would post my sketch.
so here she is.

Howdy y'all
I have finished Unwrapping w00t it is a pretty basic unwrap just so i can textur nicly in Zbrush. and I kept it organized just in case I need to edit in photoshop. So far so good.

I have also a little while ago just started Zbrushing. I tried to inXSI do as much detail as possbible, but it became that I got a way to many polys. So I figured I had enough topology
and I could go zbrush and I would perfect it. I finished the body with the mane going up the back of the human part of the centaur. I really thinkf that is going to give nice transistion from Humn to horse.

The hardest part was the hair and the tail. Because i really wanted to the hair to have a nice appeal, the part that is going to make or break my hair is going the be the texturing and transparency maps.
But I am not going to ramble, because i am in one of personal fav classes, and I want to work. SO off I go.
Here are the images


Hope y'all like em
Next come the super awesome texturing (or at least I hope)

Hello, Long time no post.
I have been currently posting on Forum.digimill.net
Check out the progress here: http://forum.digimill.net/index.php?topic=27.0

But I want to keep up my blog because well being on a blog is AWESOME!!
Well after many discussions (or one) with Graeme that my face was all wrong, and it looked to generic, and not girl-ish enough. Soo what I did was reasearched a good face, more feminine and such. I was really looking for a well defined jaw, and nice nose. I manage to find some pretty good reference. Took my orginal face (because it hade some decent edgeloops) and tweaked points and also used porportional modeling to get the face just right. it took awhile and some pretty good crituques from my classmates, and thus a new face was made

New Face-Side-------------------------------------New Face-Front


NewFace-Hair-Side-----------------------New Face-Hair-Front

Old Face - Side-------------------------------Old Face -Front
Now lets take a vote:
New or Old
Ok you dont get to vote, I lied, it is without a doubt the New Face.
The ear remained the same---but that is all. I made a quite a bit of changes and I dont regret it. I think it has turned out very nice, especially the womanly features. so happy :)
I have not really worked on my body due to the fact that I need to go onto Zbrush or Mudbox.

She is now has hair, a tail and a shirt. All in progress, of course, I think the shirt is ok, I am going to what I can do with it in zbrush and texturing.


so I hope you enjoy
