Fixed some issues on the sculpt of this guy and did his poly paint this morning. Need to move on! extracting maps and tweaking shaders and onto the next model.

Freelance work
Here’s the first (almost done, I just noticed a weird spot) model I’m making for a freelance project. They all have similar clothes so this sculpt is going to go a long ways which is nice. Tons more to do so I better get back to it!!
Sculpts day 11
Today I’m not feeling extremely motivated in any way. I applied to 4 jobs and contacted another recruiter, went grocery shopping and did a sculpture of a friend. I need to find some motivation somewhere! Maybe reading for a while will get the creative juices flowing.
Sculpts day 10
Well, today is day 10 and my sculptures are unfortunately all over the place. I have freelance to do and a job search has just begun so I’ll be splitting my time between like 90 things. I am working on another sculpt but here’s one I did in about 2 hours while drinking some delicious ipa with my favorite, galaxy hops! in side of it. 
Sculpts, day 9
Here are my sculpts for today, I decided to do some anatomy junk with a skull and then made a sculpture over it. Every time I learn something I feel like I have even more to learn.. it’s a weird feeling but I have to keep sculpting!
Sculpts, day 8
Today I’m practicing some new techniques to sculpt so I’m basically just watching digital tutors and sketching along sort of and seeing how different things work. Here’s my first for today.
Here’s my own monster I’m working on after reworking some ways that I sculpt today. I’m only at 300k polys right now and have to keep tweaking and working until I can subdivide and then go crazy with detail with these new work flows. Really excited about these changes to my sculpting. Going to be trying it on some humans tomorrow.
And 2 hours later here’s the final piece for today’s experimental sculpt.
Here’s my sculpt for day 6! I might do one more but I need to get back to work updating my website!!Sculpts, day 5
I was a bit naive thinking I could sculpt a full female figure in a day when I have little experience with it. It took 3 days (not including the new year) to sculpt this. I know there are issues but I need to keep making new sculpts this winter to get the widest range of practice in. Here’s day 5-8! Now I need to go finish my demo reel and update this website with all new character sheets and information about my upcoming job search! Cheers.
Day 5 and beyond
It’s new years eve and this year has been really productive! A quick retrospective shows that I’m really trying to improve my skills in all aspects as an artist, doing well in school, and on track to hunt for jobs after tomorrow’s holiday!
My new resume is completed, my demo reel is 99% done, and I’m spending every waking second of my winter break studying anatomy. Speaking of which I took it upon myself to sculpt a full female figure thinking I could get it done in a day. What am I, stupid? This is now a 3 day sculpture and I suspect it’ll take 5 to complete. The female form has to be one of the most tedious things I’ve ever tackled and although I feel more prepared now than ever I’m not experienced in sculpting muscles that are stretched or compressed. Here’s my work in progress for the piece. 
Besides the fact that this is a female, I’ve never sculpted something this distorted. It’s really quite an experience and I think once I correct everything and really get this musculature down as well as a proper face this will be a beautiful piece. Happy new years everyone.
Sculpts, day 4
