Title: 3D Illusttration: Snow Crash - Book Cover Mock-Up

Medium: Clay, Mixed Media, Photoshop CS3

Notes: It's been a minute since anything related to this project has been shown, but this is the cover mock-up for a redesign on the Snow Crash cover.

I definitely feel like the sculpt and background could have been better. I'm still definitely learning clay. It's ALOT harder than I anticipated. But that's what we do as artists, try new things and then keep messing around until we - at least remotely - figure out what we're doing.

Anyway, this was fun regardless and the photographers that showed up to take pictures of our sculpts at the end, honestly, brought the magic! They were amazing!

Title: 3D Illusttration: Y.T. Character Turn-around
Date: January 28 - 30, 2013
Medium: Photoshop CS3

Scale: Varies

Notes: For our first assignment in 3D illustration we are to make a character from a book in clay.

I decided to go with a secondary character from Snow Crash. Y.T.

Initially we were to do a bunch of sketchwork to try and search for what we wanted the character to look like and then take some sketches and render out (fully and professionally) the character into a full orthograph view. Complete with Front, Side, and Back as well as any detail shots.

In addition, the images below are part of the style exploration and questions I asked myself during creation.
