What ImSkeptical learnt this week (Sketchbook)

[ImSkeptical]

Thanks Wolken and Forev, environments are hard xD

This week I started attempting to model an eroche, i might do a longer writeup when its done. I took some pictures, but it looks like ass right now :(.





Also started studying cinema/storytelling in greater depth. Guess the movie :D



Anyone interested in learning a bit more about screenwriting/directing should look to this guy, some very insightful articles

Also started some idea of redesigning quake 3 arena to fit how its played competitively.



Anyone interested should watch/listen to this video of a in-depth analysis of a match.

Not sure i like where the designs are heading though. I really need someone to force me on a project to get me to use my imagination :(.

The environment studies are getting me frustrated, as it has forced me to realize my complete inability to deal with texture. I did a long study of one of the Bierstadt's and found its very hard to get the right amount of hard and soft edges that make up leaves and grass. So i might focus more on brush making and applying texture on separate layers. I have 2 versions as well, one with noise added, because i don't know if it makes it look better or worse xD. I wish i could look at the painting in real life. Hopefully next week is better.
