2D environment 3D revisit

So awhile ago, I did this photoshop painting of a catacombs inspired by a trip to the Natural Bridge Caverns

Heres that cavern from awhile back in with some upgrades.  First, i laid out a few simple formations in 3dsMax  

 

Then it was over to maya to texture and light 

Finally, I rendered all of the formations in their own targa file so i could re-size and position them in the composition in Photoshop

  

A photo filter and some color adjustments later, we have a cold, wet catacombs.  yay ^^

Go get 'em boys...

So, I got the end of the quarter blues, but it is made at least a little bit better by the fact that I have a whole plethora (such a good word)  of good stuffs to show for this quarters classes.  Ill post other pieces Ive done over the quarter in the next few days.  Today tho, is all about Rosie the Riveter.  This was an assignment in Digital Paint class and it required the use of a 3-D element incorporated into the piece.  I had a pretty good amount of trouble in the beginning, as I was clunking around in Maya trying to texture my P-51's (modeled in 3dsMax) using the 3D paint tool and while it is kinda unwieldy at first, it eventually makes sense, just as any medium with some quality time put in getting to know it. After that was done, it just took a little lovin in Photoshop to make them a backdrop for her portrait.   So here she is, my hero, patron of the mechanics behind the scenes that make this country work...the one, the only...Rosie.  

Photoshop portrait

UPDATE:  A painting I did in photoshop of a precious lady that the world refers to as Audra

I went in and touched up her ear so that it actually look-a like-a ear and did somethin with the flowery bit in her hair

Down in Fraggle Rock

This is a piece I did for my PS paint class this week.  Inspired by a trip to Natural Bridge Caverns with my partner in crime, Eric.  I think this may be my favorite environment Ive managed to produce up till this point ^_^ Yay wacom
