Take it or leave it

Good Evening

Thanks for taking the time to view my blog. I'm afraid I don't have much to show tonight. Going back to college on Tuesday and hopefully after this quarter is finished i'll be able to work on my own projects independently.

I find myself wondering tonight, wondering why is it that I just want to become better that I have such high expectations of myself and never seem get to where I need to go while other people are happy to waste away doing nothing. Do people not have a dream to follow or is it that the dream is perhaps too hard to follow?

You know what it is i'm talking about, never seeming to enjoy the work of your hands (be art-wise or not), but coming back knowing that you're getting closer and closer to achieving what it is you want to achieve, maybe you don't know what it is you're trying to achieve, maybe you know exactly what you want to do. You lose faith countless times and feel like giving up all together but still you come back. Time and time and time again, you come back.

If I may talk about myself. I don't know if I ever will reach what I need to reach. I just want to become a better artist. Circumstances limit my ability to draw and oft i'm left dead tired and not willing to do anything after working a dead-end job and studying all day, but I sincerely hope I can continue to chase my dream even if I'm moving at a crawl, in the end I would rather have tried my best than to not have tried anything at all.

Don't give up. The road is dark and the journey long, but eventually we all find what we seek.

To those out there that are going to read this, I hope you never give up. I hope you follow your dream to wherever it may take you and be damn well proud you did when at last you turn around and look at all you've conquered to be where you are.

One day perhaps i'll be able to join you.

Never give up.

Regards

Francis

A Challenger approaches!

Good evening, decided to practice more, and try to model a NES controller. I thought it was fitting that I would try model something that had an effect on my childhood and I can look back fondly upon heartwarming memories while modelling. 

Just kidding. Never seen an NES nor do I care about it, just decided to model it because it looked fun. Here's the reference image i'm using and the first render of 5 minutes in.

Practice practice practice

Ho there! On my first day of holiday, decided to put to test what i've learnt, it's pretty crappy in my opinion but it's decent practice with straight poly modelling, the scene itself is just over 800 polygons, so a little low on the polycount and the materials are really just dug up from google, but hey, was decent practice.

Hope you enjoy.

Well...I'm 20 today

Imagine my disappointment when I woke up this morning and a magical transformation did not take place and did not turn me into an amazing artist. Ah well, i'll just keep practicing and see where that takes me.

busy in class with a new assignmets. our own self portraits with edge modelling.

Here's a prestage, along with a general idea of meshflow (99.99999% probably incorrect) will show other progress as it comes.

Hello there!

Been busy as a bee lately with trying to get better at sketching and modelling and all the rest.

Here is the model I was speaking about doing in a previous post, not complete yet and still rather high poly (1000 polygons, the shell detaches if you want to know why the count is so high) but it was fun for a first attempt. Hope ya like it :D
