Description
Hi there! My name is Will, I’m from the UK and I work as a games dev tutor for high risk students! I’d like to work in the films or games industry as a animator or tech artist. I’m also working with a small team to make a stylised game. I’ve been using Maya for the past 7 years but it simply costs too much for freelancers or small dev teams to purchase. So we’re using Blender and I’d like to as proficence as I am in Maya (or as close as I can in the set time :) ) I’d also like to get better at drawing too (or at least get into the habit of practicing it more) because I will be sculpting using Blenders Sculpt tool, which it’s handy to have good knowledge of drawing and re-learning anatomy will be a great help with the creation of my Models, Showing my students how to get better at their craft and it’s a good skill to have for my portfolio!

Hi everybody, I’ve been busy with school marking and various other busy work -v-’ I’ve managed to do some work on the male character I’m practicing on. I’ll be doing the hair next then moving onto the clothes hence there being no detail in the body, legs or arm at the mo.
Day[9]: 30 day challenge progress 8
Hello everyone! So there’s a slight hitch with my goals, The main director is doing some changes and I’m on modeling standby atm So I’m going to work on another character for the game as practice. I;m not sure if he’ll be included but it’s a male character so I think the practice will be great.
howdy dowdy, So I finished her hair and started to do the hands but I think I’ll move onto main character of my main project

Didn’t do any 3D stuff today, Busy doing some marking for a student of mine. Went for an explore around my town and played some D&D :D I did manage to do some drawing practice. It’s not great but I’d like to get better (Duh) :P pretty inspired by my D&D session(we nearly Party wiped O.O) I googled some warrior poses and used this guy to draw from.
