Notes: I spent most of yesterday working on this thing. It seems like I have spurts where I get really motivated and work non stop, and then real life comes in and bills and work take up the majority of my time. In this update though, I have began fleshing out and smooth the character, same process as I usually do. Lasso tool areas of light and shadow, and then gradient in color, then smooth and brush to blend together. A hint that some artists use in their own stuff that I do too, is I make the image small and also flip it upside down to see where my eye travels. From there I know right away where I need to bring things out, where color is needed, and where things need to be changed. Thought I would throw that in incase someone doesnt do it already. With that said, in the final, I plan on creating to more smaller characters in the background to show more of how the scene works. I dont know yet as I dont want to clutter it also.So mainly its cleaning up and reflection that I will be concentrating. Everyone have a happy New Years, see you soon!!

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Line Art / Model Date Submitted: Friday, 29 December 2006 Title: Latest Illustration with more work involved! Notes: This is where I brought it with the elements applied. Its still very rough. Right now im working on mainly the lighting and shading and colorization of the piece. Im sure it will change many times as I go on but just giving you a feel. My work flow in the begining is very similar to a comic book colorist, where the lasso tool and gradient tool are used alot. Eventually once I get where I want, blending and details will be last. I always spend too much time on my characters and not enough time on the scene, so I will try to balance out the too by the time im done! More to come in the next couple days.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Concept Art Date Submitted: Friday, 29 December 2006 Title: Concept Art - The Corridor singularity (flaw) Notes: I have a couple weeks to work on this and ive been contimplating where to take this illustration. I really want to push perspective and show something in a more grand scale as well as having a character involved. The Main one that is. I chose to do the corridor that reflects and has no boundries nor explanation, yet mimics and almost seems like it breathes in the book abnormality. With that said, there will be extreme detail with this yet I want it to feel almost abstract where things go in different wave lengths perspective wise. Though I am doing an up and down shot with a bend closing in on an exit or entrance. I hope to finish, but the way these things go ,its all based upon my time and work. I really hope to finish one this time around, and like where im going with it. More to come shortly! SEL P.S. I will try to involve both 2D and 3D in this scene... CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
