Final project splurge  
Finished off the last of my classes today, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Now it's time for...a break! Sort of. Kind of. Maybe a day somewhere in there, perhaps. :/

Either way, some more stuff I finished...




The final stuff for another one of my classes this term; a five-week class for character timing on four-legged animals, specifically dogs. We had to animate a dog walking, trotting, sitting, scratching, and all the transitions between. Most people used the keyframes provided (and in retrospect, I probably should have too, as it would've been less work...) but! I decided to animate Kylie in wolf form from Lunargyros. XD

So, here's the animation, with a teeny bit of cleanup but not much. Had to redo the trot three times or something...and the ears and tail with the secondary motion are always the hardest part to do. @_@



Kind of bleh video quality, but it's THE COMPLETED BALROG OMG. Still gotta post him to dA... ZBrush has a feature where you can create a quick turntable of your model, so I just went with that. :O Woo, so happy with how he turned out! (I'd probably still do things differently next time, tho)

Photobucket

And then during class I also took one shot into Photoshop and attempted to skew it enough to give the mouth and "mane" a fiery glow. :O Gotta export it out to Maya sometime so that I can do proper glow on it!

Aaaand I'll probably post some other art stuff later.



I'll be gone all day tomorrow for Easter, visiting family and having good lunchthings. Hope everyone has a good weekend~ ♥

Oh man! All of it is so good; you're so talented! I love the anticipation on the wolfie's butt as he sits down. Gives it a nice kind of weight, and looks very much realistic. Great work!

And the Balrog is AMAZING! The details are all there and looking wonderful! His horns are so textured and lovely. GREAT STUFF!

Eee, thank you! (Everyone seems to like the sit-down animation, so I'm glad it came out well!)
