So I’ve been keeping myself busy artistically lately by building a new cg character. I’m a little over halfway through the modeling process. Tonight after a couple hours of pushing and pulling polygons, I decided to take a break by playing around with some shader ideas. Here is a test to see what I could get out of a sub surface scattering shader.
Yeah the back scatter (the effect of light showing through) is bit too much and makes him look waxy, but I was just having too much fun :)

This is the first of three shots in an animation I’m doing for an online mini-challenge
Here’s some digital sketches for ya to take a gander at. (what the heck is a gander? In fact, until I figure out what it is… You keep your gander away from my sketches!)
Oh, I’m not done yet! Here’s some character sketches:
Ok, so I’ve been holding out on you. I recently realized that I have quite a few sketches just laying around that i’ve been to lazy to post. Well not necessarily lazy, but I haven’t wanted to use my time posting stuff on the internet. I’d rather be… drawing or something. So here ya go:
First I’ll post a few from my sketch book, these are usually drawn while i’m sitting waiting somewhere, or out on lunch break.
When i’m sketching these people, I’m usually not too concerned with making it look like them… For one thing, people rarely hang around long enough to get an acurate likeness. Second, i’m usually not that interestest in “who” i’m drawing, but more how their standing sitting or doing what ever their doing. It’s a practice of visual note taking.
