The Blender blockout! The Greenharbor illustration was a bit of an experiment in spending more time tying down the composition and lighting in the model before drawing into it.

A detail image of the illustration above of Greenharbor's Great Aviary, a cage-like building with a suspended tree inside.

My final piece for Blender class! Wanted to try using the model more specifically for layout and rendering, while solving the color and details afterwards in Photoshop.

An illustration of two bird characters jumping across the rooftops of an industrial fantasy city, being chased by a crew of armored spearmen. There are two moons in the sky, one eclipsing a red sun.

A blender model of an industrial fantasy with overcast skies and a thick fog.

A shoebox view of the previous Blender model, showing how the scale and layout of the city was cheated by placing objects with the camera view in mind.

This was my penultimate piece for the #Blender class I took! Set out to treat this model as more of an underdrawing, and build it out specifically with the camera in mind.

An illustration showing a pair of clocked figures, one with a sword drawn, approaching the gates of an industrial city. Telephone wires lead over the city wall, and a towering blast furnace rises over the city skyline.

Arrival at the City Gate

Another experiment! Trying out using two separate UV maps— one fully lit and one fully in shadow. The thought was that hand painting the lights and shadows would offer more granular control over the colors (and allow for some fun pops of saturation that only appear in the shadows!)

A render of a tree stump modeled in Blender with hand painted textures.

The geometry of that same tree stump model, with each object randomly assigned a color.

The textured model and its geometry!

An experiment with hand drawn textures in #blender from earlier this year! Trying to bridge the gap between my Blender models and my illustrations.

Yep, class was through Warrior Art Camp— 9 weeks, all online! I've tried a couple small intro level tutorials in the past, but nothing made it all click quite like a two month boot camp did.

Modeled out all the innards and then lowered the alpha! Think I did some fiddling with the material to get that blur in the translucence, but it looks like I lost those settings when I updated Blender. Nothing fancy though that's for sure, I didn't know what I was doing haha!

Topology's not the cleanest, but here you go! The class was focused just on Blender as a tool to help with visdev rather than making usable game assets, so good topology took a bit of a back seat.

Ahh thank you!! I took Kelsey Roland's Blender for VisDev class through Warrior Art Camp— would 100% recommend it if it gets offered again, absolutely fantastic class!

Whoops looks like that GIF didn't work! Let's try this again—
