Admittedly I think I went to real with this little figure but it was a nice learning experience.

On to the next one.

Blizzard Student Contest

An acquaintance who works there, is checking to see if I'm eligible (being a fulltime online student). So Monday we will find out if I qualify for the Blizzard Student Art Contest 

http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/university-relations/contest.html

There are two sections. Environmental Art, and Character Art. You can guess which one I'm aiming for. My plate will be pretty full with this, The league of legends contest currently going, and the coming Big Hero 6 live stream.

I'll be keeping you guys posted.

Project Pokedex

After years of planning I've finally set out to recreate the pokemon world one piece at a time.
I've started with the pokedex's and pokeballs but hope to get to the other items soon. For now I present...

Silph Co.'s Newest product. The Pokeballs. More work over on my page at:

Reworks Vol. 1

Took some time to review some old models in attempts to liven them up/ bring them to my current skill set. Heres some basic keyshot renders of the first three I look over.

Any suggestions on areas of improvement would be awesome. 

Craziness...Craziness....oh more craziness

Hey everybody. Will here. It's been crazy and I haven't had a chance to post since I did that episode if crunchin. Hilariously enough I've done another episode of crunchin since then lol.

Lots to update you guys on. Commissions, school, and lots of new personal work. As well as my dive  into adding marvelous designer into my work on some level. Next I'll learn substance painter and maybe a real-time render engine. Is marmoset still the big thing?

ZbrushHangout.com's Crunchin' Episode

Forgot to mention I was going to be on another of Crunchin' last Saturday. Then again the last time i was on it was called Meshed Up. Thought I would put that part of my digital life behind me but you grow as a person and don't let anything get in your way.

Any who the them was swamp thing and it went down really well. Yea I crashed a few times thank god for quick save to I never lost that much work the few times it happened. I went in sculpting Creature from the Black Lagoon and ended with an entire little scene of him coming out of the swamp. Kept it black and white reminiscent of the original movie.

Wait... why am I describing it? Posting it up below the post for everyone to check out now. Low. See below for the work in progress shot and search Zbrushhangout Crunchin on youtube and watch the first two episodes. Check out my facebook for the link to the show as well. www.facebook.com/artofwilbertpierce

Anime 3D Challenge Previews

Work on my contest entry began.

It has gained some pretty serious notice in the contest group. I want to take that as a good sign but the heavy hitters are slowly trickling out. I released a small preview of some of my unedited (sped up) but unedited recording. Going to add commentary at the end detailing a lot of stuff and release it for free on gumroad.

Anyway here is a link to the post in the contest group on facebook. and uploaded directly below for you guys. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Anime Fan Art Challenge

Work has begun. I'm taking first this time. I know it. Set up my reference sheet already. (see below)

One full body shot for proportions,

A good posturre reference,

A few attitude shots,

One of the idea of the pose,

Then a beautiful drawing I found on google. 

This will be the style goal. Its a gorgeous and and graphic rendering that i want to emulate. I'm hoping to find a balance between realism and the grundgy in the dirt feeling of say "The Last of US". Full sculpting session editted up and coming at the end along with rendering and photoshop work.

Theme Picked

So I picked  a theme for my contest entry in the anime 3d fan art challenge. https://www.facebook.com/groups/anime3Dcontest/

So I looked for a few days for a good idea to come up with. In the past the prizes for the contest have included prints of the winners piece as a statue and that above most else has been my motivation. I wanted to come up with something I or anyone else would want as a statue. So I ran through some Ideas of Haku from spirited away. Nothing. Thought of an epic howl sculpt but decided to save it.

I want to win this time and so I looked to one of the more inspiring movies to help me find a winning concept. Better put I wanted to find and image that felt brave and in a sense proud. So finally I came across a Princess Mononoke image and I knew that was my winning piece. The image below sells it for me.

I can see it sitting on my desk. Proud. Tall like a trophy. I'm ready. Here are a few more of the concepts ill be hodpodging together for inspiration.
 

 

Beyond ready to tackle this effort.

My first lootcrate!

So I decided to subscribe to lootcrate and I am not disappointed in the least. The theme for this month was transform and it had a nice collection of stuff as well as an epic Transformers/back to the future themed shirt. Definitely glad I got the subscription.

Contests are upon us!

Today is jumping off to a good start. The newest contest by Rodrique Pralier is up and it is ready to get epic.
Titan 3D is sponsoring and its based on Studio Ghibli. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/anime3Dcontest/)



So much amazingness for me to translate I dont know where to begin. Sketching up ideas tonight. Finishing up some extra work on some old commissions. and updating my Onenote notebooks. It's a good sunday.

Updating webistes and social networks.

Finishing up some commission work today. Took a moment to play a League of Legends match. Deviating from the topic of todays post, I have to say I love this game. Adding Riot Games ------------------>
to my list of studios I want to apply at in the near future.




Anyway, back to topic

Updating my website because it is serious time I start applying to places. I've seen a few listings I like and a few I love.
<-------------------------------------------- Ubisoft has a position I'd love out in Milan Italy. Beautiful country, work I'd love. No brainer right? Well I wish it was that simple. I know I can do whatever work they'd need me to but there is some fear on a personal level I guess. Not sure if its the idea of hitting my goals or moving suddenly.




That aside updates to the website are flowing smoothly actually. Ran into some coding problems. Facebooks iframe code and my website merge flawlessly but the twitter and pinterest code disappears after updating. So until i can get with my portfolios customer service to find a work around going to add a few different elements to spark interest till I can finally add work. Updating deviant to provide a better showcase as i roll out assets for sale. And polishing up the facebookpage to look more professional.

Thats all for today. Going to sit back send some emails and droll over some vfx breakdowns on cgmeetup.com

Night everyone.

Fresh start
