So a while back some classmates and I all did this little exercise every week where we draw. We generate 3 random words and then you must draw something out of them! No rules beyond that, its all about how creative you can be. You could think of something to reference like a tv show or a game, or something original! I decided to try and get back into them and shape up my traditional skills. The Cat Hat one I did just this week!

-Ring
-Baboon
-Prison
----------------------------------
If you ever played Star Fox, you will know that Andross was a giant ape who was imprisoned inside a planet. You could fly through silver rings to heal your ship when he damaged it too!
------------------------------------

-Cat
-Hat
-Karate
------------------------------------
I almost did a Cat in the Hat thing, but eh, originality for this week!
------------------------------------

------------------------------------
This isnt a weekly sketch, but I felt like drawing a bunch of characters who dont like the moon because of an eclipse happening at the time. 
------------------------------------

-Squid
-Ears
-Saxophone 
------------------------------------
I really dig this one. Like the cat hat one I had the idea to have limbs just sprout out of a dark hole. I really like the idea I got for the suction cups!
------------------------------------

-Zombie
-Juggle
-Door to Door Salesman
------------------------------------
Somebody screwed up the generator on that day, cause Door to Door Salesman is not one word! Haha! I overdid this with the glow, but I was going for an endless world of doors idea. Like the rings of saturn but made of doors. Should have gone the Monsters Inc. route I suppose... Also I got a juggler or, "Nights" if you are in love with sega like I am. Had to fit juggle in there somewhere!

Water Temple - Update 1


Howdy yall! Here I am working on a room from Zelda Ocarina of Time. Just some fan work, but it keeps me busy. The screenshot above is what I have so far. Ive been working in Maya and am basically recreating an HD version of the Dark Link room from the water Temple. Depending on which version you prefer (N64 or 3DS) I am combining elements from both, along with some of my own twists. This room is very simple, but that is kind of the reason I feel like spending time on it. Ive never worked with water, and I am facing some challenges with the reflections. Im trying to get a shallow yet reflective surface and refraction, while keeping a look of realistic water.

^Nintendo 64 ver^

^3DS Ver^
There is a lot of room for my own ideas in this scene, but I want to keep it in the relm of the Japanese Architecture. Gonna have to work on those models. God I hate UVing... More to come, stay tuned!

Blue Spheres HD

So I have been working on this for a little while. My "re-imagining" of GRAB THE BLUE SPHERES! (Bonus level from Sonic 3 and Knuckles) The models are not mine, but I made everything else and fooled with the textures a bit. Oh the outer space texture was tingled from the talents of - http://dansyron.deviantart.com/ -This was just for fun, testing my skills. Hope you enjoy! Its perfect for a desktop background!
