Armed and Dangerous Concept; Nancy

This is my Elizabeth Taylor styled character for the Armed and Dangerous Project. She is far from finished but I wanted to post an update here showing my working on her. Below is the drawing so far, inspiration images (taken from a Google search) and some in between stages of development showing me trying out sketching straight onto the computer, which I have not previous to this project.
I was intrigued to try sketching straight into the computer as I read an article in last month's 3D Artist which covered the fact that some artists simply HAVE to sketch it up on paper by hand first, yet some artists have completely digitalised their sketchbooks; choosing a tablet device over a traditional sketchbook.

I am a Second Year Games Art and Design student at Norwich University of the Arts. After exploration of a number of roles in my first year, I am now looking to graduate as a 3D Artist with applicable skills in Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush and Photoshop. I understand that my skills in this field are not there yet - but I aim to achieve this goal through consistently working through the programs in my University and Personal Projects. I love to be busy - I have always had a lot of things on my plate since the age of 7 where I successfully balanced school with Ballet, Tap, Horse-Riding, French, Piano and Singing Lessons! In the same fashion, my university schedule is just as hectic and varied; I am a Peer Mentor to first year students, Student Rep for Second Year, and President of the Enterprise Society. Like I said, I love to be busy! I am a Games Hippie - so to speak - I believe that Games if designed and harnessed in the right way, will be able to help solve many of the global issues we have today - even if it starts off in a small way. Just look at the positive effects that Facebook and Twitter have already had... When navigating my blog;
  • Works in Progress - This section is a constantly running account of all my current projects - personal and for university. It will contain reference images and website links and sometimes less than coherent posts, so be prepared!
  • Finished Pieces - This is where you will find my more polished artwork. Looking for help with Maya? Check out the posts tagged "Maya How-To's"
