Portfolio Pieces WIP

Some ppls are wondering what I'm doing atm, sitting inside all day long, so here it is:

These are sketches meant as prepro for making them in 3D later.

The whole point is making a scene in UDK with enviro, character, vegetation (+animated materials),...

A scene where everything is alive not frozen, except for the character(s). The sketches are more like some sort of notes for me when working in 3D.


Side-things to test stuff out in zbrush before beginning with the portfolio pieces:
this is a self portrait very early Work in progress.

Seattle & Vancouver Feb 2012

So the past 11 days I've been travelling, living the artist's dream :)

It was a school trip to Seattle (5days) and Vancouver (4days).

We visited companies like: Arenanet, Valve, Microsoft, EA, Digital Domain, Image Engine, Zoic, etc

It was a blast getting to know this new world, a mind blowing trip!

I recommend everyone the same and can't wait to get to know the rest of the world :)!

Currently fighting the jetlag trying to get ready for the internship at Larian studios, the 10 hour flights are killer.
Can't wait to get back to work!
