Rodny's Sketches Part 1
•Date: 25.08.2008 •Blog Post: 102


Once in a while I am going to post some pencil sketches of my works in blue pencil. I like using blue pencils as it gives me more professional look but most importantly the texture of the pencil is actually very nice for freehand drawing.


Here are two selections from the doodles, concepts and ideas I am planning to paint in a few weeks. Below is called OFFLINE, part of the series of digital painting I am doing as a personal and portfolio project entitled GALS and METALS. Keep visiting as I am going to make the WIP of this painting.



This sketch here is a scene from a children's concept book I am still conceiving. It's very fantasy-like for children and adults a like with tons of interesting characters. Emma's wish came from my early digital painting about a girl that kissed a frog prince but with a twist.

Some of my 3D Freelance Gigs
•Date: 20.08.2008 •Blog Post: 101


When I am not doing any digital painting or sketches or concept design I am actually working on 3D. Here are some freelance gigs I work on that pays the bill. Meritus Racing's GP2 SimeDarby Campaign and A hero guy design by my client in Dubai were I was commissioned to flesh out the hero in 3D. All was modeled and rendered using Lightwave 3D. I would love to try my hand with Maya, unfortunately my schedule does not permit me to learn it, however, there's a vast improvement with the latest Lightwave so I might stick with it or perhaps Modo. Zbrush is getting my interest in a while and I will download a trial version and see how it goes.


Here's the GP2 SimeDarby Campaign including Driver.

Hi Guys!


Sorry for the lack of update, I was busy lately with work and had no time to do Digital Painting. However I just bought new DSLR camera and I plan to study photography. I took some photos few days ago and it's really very amateurish but hopefully I will improve in few months time. Click Rodny Photography or visit my gallery page.


Cheers!

Who's to say vector art can mimic digital painting, hehe, here's my take, read and learn the step-bt-step tutorial I did with this piece. Here's the much awaited Adobe Illustrator CS2 Tutorial. Read and learn. Leave your comments so I know whether you can follow the steps. Cheers!
