Slow and somewhat steady

Hey all!

I'm still on pharaoh's room and while most of it is organized and set to receive some frogs, including Pharaoh, I am still at a bit of a loss as to what to do with the open area left. You could say his room is "half full" hehehe.

So, on that note, let's focus on something that is finished and that is Pharaoh's hand mirror. Now, they didn't have mirrors like we do today and I did some extra digging:

Hand mirror design for Pharaoh - toon vs background element.

The originals look a bit diff...

The bigger issues

Hey all!

This week's vlog:

GOD is so great!

- The Angel Of The LORD = The Destroyer = JESUS?
Kinda insulting if you think about it, hahaha. JESUS specifically said: "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10, KJV. To call JESUS a destroyer is a stretch. Not to mention that "the destroyer" isn't capitalized.
I've also read that some think this is the Angel Of The LORD, but again, no capitalization and we're not even told that this is an angel. I did read...

Aaron and the serpent

Hey all!

Oh yes, that time of the week again! Update time! Without further ado, here is this week's vlog:

GOD is so amazing!!

Honestly, I thought that I was going to be updating about this project once a month, because the videos take so long to make and edit, and ironically, it takes about the same amount of time as blogging does, hahaha. The only difference is that I can show you all more video and tests than I could if I had to upload everything individually. Vlogging is very very versatile! ...

The king himself

Hey all!

I know usually I post on a Thursday, but I was super excited about the progress, so I just had to share it today!! :D

Now, the title is a surprise - yes, the king is finally modeled! Yey!!! :D
Can someone say progress? Oh yes!

- The king has been modeled
Here is what he looks like in Make Human:

This is what he looks like in Blender after quite a few tweaks:

Tweaks here involved applying the Make Human to anime tutorial stuff, as well as a few new tips GOD showed me that I want to make tut...

The king's room

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, February 18, 2016, In : WIP

Hey all!

Time for the weekly update!

This week, the focus has been on the king's room. For me, this is incredibly difficult, because I find no info on traditional Persian interiors. I do know that they did do a lot of things the same way as the Indians did - lots of arches, pillows, low to the floor furniture, etc., but honestly, I don't know to what extent this is the case, so I have to follow peace and ironically, it has made for quite a modern appearance.

Additionally, since the first time we...

Horse WIP

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Friday, January 1, 2016, In : WIP

Hey everyone!

Today I got to work on the horse again and GOD was so faithful, as usual, haha, and I'm so happy with the results. I tried giving the horse more typically anime eyes, but that made it look more cartooney and character-like than a functional horse. So anyway, while there is still a solid amount of character in the eyes, they are not nearly as cartooney as they get when you add those black outlines, haha.

So without further ado, I'm going to let you see it below, starting with the v...

Lookin' sharp

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Saturday, December 19, 2015, In : WIP

Hey all!

Just gotta share this with you guys - Mordecai looks sharp in the king's clothes!

(I think this looks so cool! GOD is such an awesome designer!!!!!!)

This was done using Make Human and Blender and a lot of work! GOD lead me a different way with his outfit than the master painters of old did, but I'm glad HE did, because to me this looks soooooooooo cool!

Have a great one and GOD bless!!
