I used squarespace, and it was pretty easy. I spent about a day building it and it's only 8 bucks a month. Anyways, here's some progress on my Zero Hour project I've been working on. I painted over a render from the Maya model I built.<br />

I meant to keep it super simple, but I keep adding more and more, so I might just go back in and really model the plants/trees, instead of these fillers. Here are some early renders...<br />

I've decided to revisit a school project I really enjoyed. My last semester of school, I was so busy with BFA, I didn't have the time I would have liked, to dedicate to this project from 117B, where we concept'd out a sci-fi story. I chose Zero Hour, by Ray Bradbury. So, here goes!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They needed a poster for a contest where they reward a local hero. They wanted to include average looking people, holding hands together and the original idea was to have the Helgelandsbridge and Stetind mountain</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(local landmarks)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> printed</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> on their sweaters with the Northern Lights in the background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They mentioned Indiana Jones as style reference, so naturally I looked up some Drew Struzan and took some ideas for a few early roughs. This project had a very quick turnaround, so I used a lot of layers, so I could reuse drawings and move things around easily. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't think putting the landmarks on their sweaters would read clearly, but I did a few versions like that regardless. It's important to always do what the client asks, whether you think it's a good idea or not, because you may not understand their motives entirely. If you have a better idea, show them that in other versions, but always make sure you meet their requirements first. My former professors, Courtney Granner and Bunny Carter, would rake us over the coals anytime someone decided to ignore assignment guidelines, for this reason. Literally. They had a coal pit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a few of the early roughs (including the color rough): </span><br />

A quick study of a photo. I tried painting in one layer using a more 'Sargeant' approach, which I've always struggled with, because I get impatient. I'll try to do a lot more this summer.</div>

I think a tumblr with all the art will be released when the show opens, but it's an awesome concept a couple of my classmates came up with, where a 151 different artists each got a different Pokemon to paint however they choose. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was assigned Meowth. I didn't watch Pokemon as a kid, so I didn't know any sweet Pokemon jokes to make, so I made my guy kickin' back, smokin' a cig for some reason. Rough day of Pokemon-ing, I guess.. </div>

This was the first watercolor I've done in a long time, and I had a blast! I'll definitely be doing more this summer. </div>

I filled up 4 pages of notes in the relatively short critique, and learned a ton. Each critique was so packed with information I could hardly keep up.<br />
Here's some goofy doodles I did while we waited for the critique to begin...<br />
