Daily Art: Minecraft

March 22nd:

My nephew is really into Minecraft, so I used some perler beads from my sister's craft supplies to make him a 3D Minecraft Cube and a 2D Minecraft Zombie. Then I made my niece (the Disney Frozen fan) a 2D snowflake and a 3D Minecraft Snow Cube. Then, just for the heck of it, I made them some hot glue stars.

Then later, at rest time, I drew my nephew some 8-bit style dragons on graph paper:

Daily Art: Another Sketchbook Page Down

March 21st:

I unofficially finished page 25 of the Cut-Up Sketchbook.

March 16th:

I'd never baked normal maps out of ZBrush until this model: I've always baked them out of Maya because I heard that they came out so much better. I decided to try it this time because it seemed like it would save a lot of time. What I didn't account for was the learning curve of finding the right settings in ZBrush, so I ended up spending twice as long as I should have because I spent a long time fiddling with settings in ZBrush and actually ended up baking one set of maps from Maya in addition to those that I baked in ZBrush.
