Taerar: Rage Drake Sculpt

Portfolio 3 Update

Well, as the second portfolio piece winds to a close, I figured I should update this with a better schedule for what's left of the semester.

Two things are left to do aside from Capstone work: Mental Ray Thesis and Taerar the Rage Drake.

As for the Mental Ray Thesis, I decided to go for something more specific and will be concentrating on Skin. And as for Taerar, I will be focusing on getting a high resolution sculpt.

So here is a schedule for when I will have things done:

Taerar Rage Drake Sculpt

• Saturday July 14- Orthographics
• Tuesday July 17- Blocked In Model in Maya
• Saturday July 21- Muscles and Anatomy in Zbrush

• Sunday July 29- Pose
• Monday July 30- Polish and Resculpt
• Tuesday July31- Composite with Brynn to achieve concept
