Rat

I have modeled the paper rat. HUZAH!  I've found that trying to model things and make them look like paper-craft is hard :(  Hopefully with textures we can emphasize it's paper-ness more.

References

If there's anything that I've learned about 3D modeling is that references are your best friend.  So, as I take on my task of modeling a paper-craft rat, I have been researching/finding references.  I happened to find a cut-out thing that I decided to print out and put together.  It's helping a bit actually.

Aint he cute?! :)

Concept Art

Here are a few concept art/doodles for the game I am currently working on.

Thesis Games Chosen and GDC

The games were finally chosen including Flyboy! Alas, I was switched from Flyboy to be on the thesis game called, Zodiac Racing (the title will be changed). I'm happy though, I really like my team and I know we'll all work well together. The leader of our group has designed me as lead sound designer. We know that we'll be needing a lot of great sounds for our game, so I'll gladly take the role of sound designer. I of course will also be doing 3D and 2D art for the game.

I also recently went to G.D.C. this past week in San Francisco. I learned a lot of new things especially with narrative, and even more important I learned that this industry is hard especially if you are an artist. So, I've realized I need to step up my game and work extra hard.  Also, on a side note, I need a new phone.  I'm still using my brick-of-a-phone that I had from Jr. high.  So, I need to get a new one so I can start downloading some of these applications and games.  A lot of businesses are creating social games and mobile games, so I need to know what's out there.
