Caricature using just the mouse

I hope Neil Miller doesn't mind to post his caricature on my blog...
(for those who don't know, he is a great lighting and texturing teacher here at Art Institute)

Warm lights as well...

I've applied some warm lights to this part of the scene, creating more focus to the main character. But I still have a way to go, from the fish modelling, to the bump maps to shadows...

Cool ligths

Now it's getting closer to what I want, I'm starting to get happy with the lights. the cigarette at the back it's the model I'm happy the most so far.

Finally I did all the main models for the short, applied basic texture and started to get the felling on how this is developing for the first scene. Anyway, now I have to refine everything, from modelling to texturing, and apply good lights.

color key collage

this is a collage I did to start getting the idea of the kind of color and mood I want for the short, let's see how it develops...

First 3D model

I know that our first 3D model we should keep to ourselves, but this Big Jack Toy I really want to improve it more sometime in the future. It would amazing to have the studio logo as a kind of funky doll somewhere in the future.

3D first model

This is my first try on modeling the main cockroach for the Thesis project.
Although I liked some of it, I know it won't work...
I need a better way to show facial expressions and the head should be even less realistic than that.
