3D artist taking requests! (Currently full!)

[Mattarias, King.]

Hey folks. 3D dude here. I graduated with a certificate in 3D animation back in February. Sadly, well, I haven't gotten a job in 3D work yet. It's all gotten me down to the point where I rarely even open Maya anymore.

...That's where you come in! I figure, if I take requests, I get to help some people who need art and get myself to get off my lazy bum and do some work!

Some guidelines I guess:
1) The more complicated something is, the longer it'll take. You know, common sense.
3) I'd appreciate if you would supply some references, please! I can't make something if I have no idea what it looks like. o_o
2) The more/better reference images I get, the more accurate the result will be.

OH! And for everyone's sake: THIS Is the type of reference art we prefer to work with in 3D. A character face-on, side shot, and back, if needed. Arms splayed out in either T-pose or A-Pose. Just generally allows for much better accuracy and polyflow. (Note: The example reference I provided just now isn't mine. Found it on google.)


Here's a gallery of some of my 3D work.

Some animations too, if you care to take a peek.

TL;DR: I need practice, you want art. I give.

Ah, so, after some friendly advice, I'm thinking I should bottleneck requests in order to actually get things done! Let's see...

Request status:
FULL!

To do:

Thanquol: Arcani
SurfingHalfOrc: Surfing Half-Orc
Lord Torath: Warbird ship
Kaycemonde: Persona

In the making:

Kawaii Soldier: Bee, Puppycat
Gurleflarp: Balorc

Finished projects:

None yet! O_O

In queue: (Sorry!)

Alejandro: Star Wars party
Sabeki: Project 6 races
Rakaydos: Dragon character

[Thanqol]

I always want art.

Do this guy, I triple dog dare you.

[Mattarias, King.]

Hoooo. A character. That's gonna be a challenge. Are you the artist?

[ShadowFireLance]

What program do you use?

Also, some nice work there.

[Mattarias, King.]

I use Maya. And thanks!

<_<;; Though I think I've definitely improved since many of those renders...

...Probably.

I'm not here to show off. I just think I need more practice. And probably more stuff to show off so I can make a real Demo Reel. >_>;

[Thanqol]

Hoooo. A character. That's gonna be a challenge. Are you the artist?

I commissioned that particular piece back in the days before I learned how to draw, but I came up with the visual design and have drawn the character like a billion different times subsequently.

[Alejandro]

Up for making a 'group photo' of a group of Saga characters?

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Ooh, ooh, do me!

Seriously, please do me, as in do my avatar: Surfing HalfOrc. Any of the three, either surfer, mountain biker or road biker

Surfer: any surfboard (I rode a longboard back in the day)
Mountain Biker: I ride a Trek 9.9SSL hardtail, black with red and white trim
Road Biker: I ride a Focus Cayo 2.0, Red, white and black.

SHO doesn't wear a helmet, but I do. My sunglasses are Oakley Flak Jacket Livestrong edition. My Jerseys are either Primal Wear Dragon's L'air, or Arrogant Bastard Ale.

A mix of fantasy, and real world objects to toss into the mixer/render...

If you want to draw my helmet, I wear a Giro helmet, blue flames on a black base.

Currently my collarbone is broken, so I'm not able to get out there and ride. But it is mending nicely, so...

Cool, good to know. Don't wanna step on any toes.

Saga characters? Can't say I know what you mean, so... I'm gonna need references. -Unless you mean Sega. In which case, uhhh... That's a lot. o_o And I'd be better off just posing some models from ingame..

Ooh, ooh, do me!

Seriously, please do me, as in do my avatar: Surfing HalfOrc.

-snip-

Sure. Realistic or OoTS style? The latter is obviously much faster. :P

[Kawaii Soldier]

OH! OH! Mr. Mattarias, King., can do one of Bee and Puppycat? Please, please, PLEASE?

[Mattarias, King.]

OH! OH! Mr. Mattarias, King., can do one of Bee and Puppycat? Please, please, PLEASE?

O_O THAT... Was actually really cool! Sure!

EDIT: Ooh, the artists mercifully added concept art and turnarounds to their blog! WOO! This'll be easy!

((...o_o I'm gonna die making all these characters aaaaaa But they're so cool aaaaaaaa))

[Alejandro]

Sorry. I'm the GM for a group that plays Star Wars Saga Edition. I was asking if you were up to doing a 'group shot' image of their player characters. :)

[gurgleflep]

If you're still taking requests, I would like to make one.
I (if you're not full of requests) would like to request my current avatar - he's a half-orc half-balor and I would be eternally grateful. Do it in a style you seem fit if you do take it up. I feel kinda odd asking for a 3D rendering, this is a first.

[Mattarias, King.]

Oh! Uhm, sure! I just, you know... Need references. o_o This WILL take a while, have no illusions. Especially since it's a group shot.

Haha, I SHOULD close up requests for a while, so I can get everything done, shouldn't I..? Ah, well. I think I'll just do a page at a time. Should be manageable, right? (Famous last words...)

As for your request, sure! The half-balor part makes me excited. Any excuse to play with particles! (I love fire. )

Thank you If you need any help or information please don't hesitate to ask/PM me, I'm usually quick with replies.

Realistic would be nice, but I don't want to impose on your time too much. Whichever you use I'm sure I'll use as my wallpaper afterwards!

[Lord Torath]

Do you do not-characters? How about a ship?

Here's a profile, and here's a deck-plan

[Kawaii Soldier]

O_O THAT... Was actually really cool! Sure!

EDIT: Ooh, the artists mercifully added concept art and turnarounds to their blog! WOO! This'll be easy!

YAY! :D I can't wait to see it! ;)

((...o_o I'm gonna die making all these characters aaaaaa But they're so cool aaaaaaaa))

Well, we really appreciate all the work you put into it. Thnx!

[Jaycemonde]

I really do not mean to intrude on your generosity, but I've always thought it'd be extremely rad if I could get someone to do a render off've my persona (as seen in my avatar). If you want to, I can send you all the reference material in PM :>

[Mattarias, King.]

Hey guys, update here. I've been working on everything I can when I'm able, since life seems to know EXACTLY when I want to do something cool, and then pile a list of other stuff on top of me that I need to do first. =_=

Since it SEEMS (don'tjixitdon'tjinxitdon'tjinxit...) that everything has settled down now, I'm back to working on your requests.

To answer the latest posts:

@Lord Torath: I DO make non-characters! They're in fact easier! o_o Usually fewer points of articulation, thus fewer things to mess up. I'll take a crack at it, sure!

@Kawaii Soldier: Haha, thanks. Again, sorry it's taking forever.

@Jaycemonde Why not, sure, send 'em over! Just be aware that it'll be a while, since I'm working on everyone else's stuff as well. o_o And characters take forever.

[Kawaii Soldier]

@Kawaii Soldier: Haha, thanks. Again, sorry it's taking forever.

Oh, no problem. I realize art takes time. It just makes me anticipate the final piece even more! Just take your time, there's no rush. I can't wait to see the finished product! ^o^ Thnx again! ;)

[Sabeki]

If you're doing requests.. There is a world build called project 6 on the forums. Would it be Ok to ask for a picture of each race?
EDIT: It is the thread started by Rasch, it doesn't have the title on it, but it has post apocalyptic setting in the title.
I am bad at describing things.

o_o Uhm... I'll try!


....All this makes me think I should try getting better at zBrush...

[gurgleflep]

I hate to say it, but I think you may be biting off more than you can chew You've got a lot of people requesting stuffs... Maybe in your initial post you should make a list doing something like this (just example projects, don't take them seriously!):

Request status:
FULL!

To do:

• Make Spiderman.
• Make ninja turtles.

In the making:

• Making Batman.
• Making Darth Vader.

Finished projects:

• Disney Princesses.
• My Little Pony.

[Sabeki]

o_o Uhm... I'll try!


....All this makes me think I should try getting better at zBrush...

You don't have to do all if them, just as many as you feel like!

[Mattarias, King.]

Ahahah, good point, Mr. Balorc. That sounds like a good idea!

I've never done requests before..

@Sabeki: Arright. I'll take a look and contribute when I can.

[Rakaydos]

If you still have slots, I'd like to get in line for a dragon character with equipment. (Have refs, but I'll have to go track them down)

[Mattarias, King.]

Ah, you posted right as I put up the thing closing requests... I'll put you and other things I can't reasonably do soon into queue, if you don't mind. But dragon dudes are cool, so feel free to send references along.

[Rakaydos]

Dont know if this is enough of a "back view", but...

(the actual wing design is obsolite for the character, but if you get the idea, this is a slightly more up to date version of the body- just add a belt-piercing and the stuff from the original design)

[Jaycemonde]

Why not, sure, send 'em over! Just be aware that it'll be a while, since I'm working on everyone else's stuff as well. o_o And characters take forever.

I'll send 'em to you first thing in the morning. And please, take your time. I know how long it takes to do requests for people :x
