A drawing of Shantae, based on the art style of the latest game in the series, Half Genie Hero. I did this over the holiday break as a way to test out the Surface pro. I'm really enjoying drawing with it!

Simple but amazing rock chip detail in Substance Designer

A neat little trick I picked up from this tutorial by Blackhart Films. It's only two nodes: a slope blur which is driven by a noise pattern (clouds 2 works very well, but anything would work). The slope blur's Samples attribute is set to 32 and the mode is set to Min.

Cartoon character progress

That's right, it's time for another quick update! Today we have some more progress on a character I've been working on here and there in my spare time. There's quite a bit of work left to do, but it's coming along pretty nicely.

As you can see, there's still a bit of modeling work to be done. I need to finish modeling the hand, making tweaks to the eyes and face, add eyelashes and eyebrows, etc.

The character is my rendition of Hazel, from Bryan Lee O'alley's graphic novel, Seconds.

Next on the agenda is texturing, followed by rigging/posing, then lighting/rendering.

Maya Fluids explosion

Added rust and colour variance to steel diamond plating

The amount of rust and denting can both be controlled independently to achieve the desired look

The node network for the material

Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. On to the next material~
