The photos in this post are from a shoot I did while working on my A.A.S. at the local community college.  The faces have been blurred out at the request of the models.  They were all taken with silver based film in a very make shift studio (my living room) and all postwork has been done in Photoshop.  These photos are not for sale as I was just informed that I am allowed to post them, but not sell them (informed by the female model who holds the rights to the photos).

Normally it doesn’t take me this long to get around to a project.  However, I have the image posed and ready to render.  The only problem is getting the textures to show up when I render it.  And I couldn’t find a pinata (or directions on how to make one in 3D).  Hopefully I will have the image posted by the end of the week.  Thanks for reading!

Ok.  Since I want to use this blog to make some money, I thought I’d have some fun with the sentence that was randomly generated by PayPerPost.  The sentence they gave me was “Your lover will love you even more if you get them a pinata.”  This struck me as funny and interesting.  So I decided that I’m going to create an image with that as the caption.  It will be posted in my next blog.  See you then!

This was the last shot of a mostly failed photo shoot.  I had gone outside to get some good shots of the fountain’s face.  Gus, the puppy, was very jealous and had to be in every single shot I took.  Finally, I gave up on attempting to get a shot without having the dog want to play, and started to go inside.  I turned around to tell Gus to stay and this is what I saw.  This shot has been my doorway to doing animal photo shoots.

This dragon was created using Illustrator and Photoshop. All of the initial work was done in Illustrator. I used the gradient mesh tool for shading, and the pen tool for the actual drawing of the dragon. Once that was finished, I imported it into Photoshop to use filters on it to give it a more illustrated style and add the smoke. Then I imported it into Image Ready to create the actual animation.
