Keeping myself busy...

For the past couple of weeks I've been pretty stumped on ideas when it comes to drawing and 3D work.
Recently I have decided that I want to do a drawing project were I draw myself as a video game character which I have done with this drawing. The idea of this drawing was taken from the game Runescape.
I have also been working on a few different faces. I'm planning on doing a few more of these before I do a full drawing again.
This week I have also been working on some 3D work by making a bed. The idea is to make my bedroom but we'll see were this idea goes. I have put this model into Unreal 4 but I have had a few lighting problems. Hopefully I can sort this out before the next post otherwise I'll show you the problems I'm having.
This is what the Bed looks like at the moment. I'm thinking of re-doing the mapping on the pillow and the quilt but apart from that I'm pretty happy with the way It's looking.

Well that's everything for now.

Scrapped Ideas And Whats Next?

After a month of working on this level I have decided that I'm going to scrap this level due to not liking the way it has turned out. I may come back to this level at a later date but for now I'm going to leave it as it is.

This is the last screenshot of my level. This screenshot shows the last asset I made which was a barrel. I really wanted to post this on here because I was really happy with this way it turned out. I may reuse this in another level that I make in the future.
Seeing that I've scrapped this level for the time being I have been focusing on my drawings.
I have been drawing my character from the game Runescape. I have been doing this just to improve my drawing skills and try out different things like textures etc.
After doing these drawings I thought about doing a little drawing project over the summer. I wanted to draw myself as a video game character just like these two. We did something like this in the first year of my degree.

Unfinished Drawing






Today I started that idea with this drawing. As you can see I've takes alot of ideas from the game Runescape but I have added a few of my own ideas just to change it up alittle.

My plan is now to expand on this idea and see were it takes me.

Well that's everything for now.
