Cottage Model

So my first official project for Marvimation is to model out a cottage in low poly, as realistically as possible. Here's the original cottage. Just want to say that I don't know who the structure belongs to, if it isn't Marvimation.

It looks nice and quaint. I was actually really excited for this one because my experience with structures in minimum. So here are some quick screen caps. If anyone has critiques on ANYTHING, please don't be shy; I can take a hit :)

I was planning on making normal maps for the bricks and the straw roofs in Zbrush. Can you imagine modeling all that out just in Maya....geesh. Yes, the timestamp is correct, all nighters for the win!

Woot!

So I got offered a position with Marvimation! I am now officially on their website so go check it out. It's not a paid gig, more like a contract internship, but I still get concepts to model from them. Which means I boost up my reel, model constantly, and (most important of all) I don't have to explain a long period of unemployment in a future job interview. Did I mention I could work from home, sweet. If I can i'll post the in progress stuff up, but I have to make sure that's all kosher.

I Got a Bite

So one of the places I applied for contacted me back. They want to test my modeling skills to make sure they match what was shown in my reel. I have a month from the 22nd to finish their test and if I do well enough I'll be offered a position. Wish me luck.

Searching for a yob

I'm still modeling Eduardo, but now I'm focusing more on applying for jobs. If anyone has any leads let me know :)

Update

Still working on Eduardo (the platypus) but i'm just taking some time to revamp my image. New logo n theme and what not. I feel like the one I have now doesn't really express me as a person and it really should. Also I need to make a new website so this can solely be a blog space, anyone got any tips? :)

Progress!

Slacking I know -__- but here's a screen grab of the low poly, headless Eduardo. (That's his name given to him by my brother) Note the timestamp. I always had a crazy weird preference for modeling all night 'til the wee hours of the morning :D

Btdubs, check out the motion comic I helped with for Wondercon. It's titled Aliens Took My Girl and you can view this 11 minute masterpiece by going here: alienstookmygirl.com. It's a 50's retro mixed in with sci fi alien style, how can you go wrong!?! Don't forget to follow us on the Tweets, Face, and Blogging media!

It shall be the Platypus

So I decided on the Platypus. Obviously it isn't the same Platypus from my animation because I just used it as inspiration. Please excuse my Photoshop skills, or lack there of haha.
