Reio 3D Model

This is an original character from a story I've been working on, Reio Hearnth.  You may recognize this design from a previous post found here:  http://ginryuuart.blogspot.com/2011/03/low-fantasy-uniforms.html

I did branch and box modeling in Maya to make this 3D model.  It's low-poly...about 7,000 triangles.  There are two 1024 color maps...one for the hair and one for the rest of the model.  There is also a transparency map on the hair and a normal map on the body.  The normal map was laid out in Zbrush and fixed up in Photoshop.  All of the coloring for the textures was done in Photoshop CS5.  Renders were done in Maya using Mental Ray.

Yin-Yang

The concept of good and evil personified.  Their expressions show how dependent they are on each other, their wings at the top reflecting this.  Good is defined by her shadows, and Evil is defined by his highlights to show that even individually they are not completely independent of the other.  Original drawing pencil on paper.  Completely re-done digitally.

Spider of Fate

Same setting as above.  The deity Fate.  A spider/humanoid who manages the threads of fate for the best possible long-term outcome.  Pencil drawings with digital shading.

Low-fantasy Uniforms

 These are uniform designs for a combat-based militaristic organization in a low-fantasy setting.  The purpose was to make a uniform which was customizable to suit different fighting styles and not hamper combat strength.  Pencil drawing with colors applied digitally.
