Learning how to colorize black and white photos

I've been wanting to try this for a while now...

Googled this image and tried it out.  Here is the before (black and white) and after (added layers of color in photoshop, touched up a little).

Ball with Tail Bounce

This week's homework was a ball bounce with a tail... I did a regular one, then a more fun "Ninja" ball.

The rig was provided in class.

Free time in computer lab... gatorbanana?

Found some photos by doing a Google Image search.  Here's what happens when I'm stuck in the lab for too many hours...

Maya Homework week 1-2 of class

So our assignment was to animate 3 different kinds of bouncing balls.  Here are my 1) Squishy ball, 2) Bowling Ball, and 3) Balloon.

Striped rig was provided in class, I modeled the balloon.

Made a new blog header using Illustrator

Old header:

New (obviously :) )  based off my boys, two adorable cockatiels!

Like?

Week off school/work = sewing projects!

So I finally put together a project for those fabrics I posted a while ago.  Ta-da:

It's not finished yet... needs back, binding, and quilting... not sure what to do for that yet.


Another easy (yet AWESOME) project... I made probably the most amazing pair of boxers ever!

Photoshop waterdrops tutorial

Found a pretty cool tutorial on how to make waterdrops and a foggy window look.

Props to the tutorial I followed: abduzeedo.com Foggy Window Effect

Here's my result!  The background is a photo I took in Australia looking down on the city in the Sydney tower Restaurant.

Illustrator fun

Trying to practice in Illustrator CS5... here's a little birdie I made!

Maya character project

Sooo this project took the whole duration of my summer school class in 3d Animation.  I think I'm calling it done for now.  I still have one day to do anything if I change my mind.

Our class created characters from nothing... so this meant all of the modelling, rigging, texturing, and animation from scratch.

Break from Maya

Needed a small break from working on my Maya project...

Remembering how to use photoshop :)
