Here’s a quick update to the Charette #15 Render contest I’m working on. About to run out for dinner and wanted to get this up before I head out. The only note I have now is that the wood in the FG is a place holder, and will be changed.

Here’s a work-in-progress of a digital paiting that I’m currently working on. So far I want to say I’m about 8 hours in. This preview is just a small gray-scale version. The color version will be coming soon (currently working on it). It’s all done in Photoshop. I’ve only used a Hard Round and a Soft Edge Brush. The portrait is of my friend Frances. It’s for her 24th birthday.

So I’ve decided to work on a challenge over at http://www.3dallusions.com/.
The challenge is to render this house from 2 points of view, without changing the architecture. Everything else is fair game. So this is my first preview of my first POV. Pretty much my lighting is set, minus the interior light. The interior light colors are not final yet. Right now I just have omni lights illuminating to add color and value to the image. I do this so I kind of have a road map of where I’m going color and value wise. Next up will be adding more entourage, and then onto textures. I imagine a few more trees for the background, and then some kind of living space for the interior. Not too sure what I’ll be doing with the pool area yet. That’s still TBD.
Anyways, here’s the image:
