Luke's Blog

Hi, to all of you who either watch my blog on a regular basis or just happen to stumble upon it accidentally. I just want to inform you all that I have my website up and running now. So please feel free to check it out. http://www.lmritchie.com

Thank you

Well I've been trying to come up with a new model for awhile now. I've finally got something to show. The style will be somewhat cartoon in the final render. But I like my concept and where it's going right now. Of course this my all change within a week...we'll have to see

I did this picture a couple of months ago and I just never got around to putting it up on my blog. I'm going to try and constantly update my blog as often as possible without things getting boring. So here is Card Captor Sakura (anime character) that I drew over in Illustrator CS3. I used the pen tool to outline it and selected similar colors to the ones in the original.

my reason for placing the image like this is so that you can see the difference in the two. The the original on the top and then my vector piece at the bottom.

I hope that you all like it. For more of my art work: http://alphonse007.deviantart.com

Here is my finished Taoist Paradise, both the ambient occlusion map and the finished texturing. I still plan on making some changes to it since the water in the background isn't doing anything for this model.

This is just an update for those of you who seem to be still viewing my blog. I've managed to graduate from 3D Gaming animation. I'm still working on updating my modeling skills and make some new environments, that I will hopefully place up on my blog. I've starting taking a new program that will allow me to make my own website that I can place more of my own work on. So I will be doing graphics and web design.

It's been quite some time since I've posted anything up on my blog and that would be for the reason of needing to complete my demo reel...but now that I've done that I can post some of the pieces up. I hope you like them....please leave a comment if you want.

Lounge Design done by me. I think it's quite classy looking

To those of you who are either keeping tabs on my blog or just happen to stumble across it. The Ho-Masubi project has been put on hold. It was taking too long and I have to have to complete models done in three months and well that wasn't going to happen at the rate I was going.

So instead after talking to two of my instructors, we figured that since I want to be an environment artist, that I should be looking towards interiors and exteriors of place that exist or via my own thing...(more so from a picture). I'll be posting some of the work up soon. Otherwise...please check out: http://cato3d.foumer.com

This is my latest model that will be appearing on my demo reel when I finish my schooling. This is Ho-Masubi - he's a nekomata(fork tailed cat)....it's apart of Japanese folklore and when I had done my research on it, I thought that I should model out one the way I thought that it would look. Well I did a lot of sketching trying to develop the right style and so this is what I came up with. I hope you all like what you see.
