First of all, sorry for the inactivity in the last few weeks, I\u00b4m glad you still stick with me!
\nThe waiting was worth it:<\/p>\n

That said, I\u00b4ll show you some first pictures for the project:

As some of you might know, I\u00b4m working on another transformers live action project, and the last few months I have been busy drawing concept art, doing some basic modelling and so on on a villain type of character who will be fighting an epic battle with “Espressobot”.
\nI have also spent lots of time upgrading my hardware and getting up to date with certain skills that I think I\u00b4ll need during the project, such as a 1080p monitor (for the renderings), a “Wacom bamboo fun” pen and touch tablet (for concept art, I have practiced that a lot, also textures and sculpting), and last but not least, a D-SLR camera, more specifically a Canon EOS 600D with a kit lens, which will be used in future for live action shots, reference for models and character animation, and is due (I HOPE!) to arrive tomorrow…
\nI have also taken a lot training on various things like concept art and texturing, modeling (I really can recommend the vehicle modeling training DVD), sculpting, cinematography and camera tracking + integration with compositing. So that is basically the whole program. I am also learning some other software such as 3ds max + vray (student licences are free for 3 years) and mudbox (same here). Don\u00b4t judge me on doing that, it would be senseless to just stick to one program if you are free t broaden your skills with a whole range of them and gather experience!
\nI am also thinking about what I will do after school, tendencies are that I study media design (with animation and programming integrated in the program), to learn to be a professional and maybe land a job as animator. Sounds real good IMO.
\nWith all that stuff going on next to school (my finals are in one year) and other stuff I enjoy doing other than on the computer, you might understand why you haven\u00b4t seen a lot of videos in the last few weeks.
\nAs an apology I am thinking about trying on doing a VLog update as soon as the camera arrives, so stay tuned in on my channel (You might see my face for the first time :O scary).
\nThis is the car the decepticon transforms into, it is a red BMW 318 ti. I have modelled the outer part, the interior is still due to be done.

This is concept Art for the design of the decepticon. I only have side views because I am not quite sure what I want it too look like from front and decided to find that out while modeling.
\nOh yeah I have to say drawing this with a mouse just would not be fun – near to impossible IMO – but the GIMP + Bamboo combination works magic!
