(Hi~~)
What's up amigos! I was desiring to write another entry for the blog, and here I'm!
Well! I'm doing lots of stuff, and I want to show you all the things I made, some of them are cool processes so lets go!
First of all, I'm going to show you some first "concepts" or "art", about the ingredients of the last entry some of them are really funny.
(It's only a first point of view, to inspire the 3D artist who wants to make specific ones or potions)
I've done the Alchemy Store too,
(The colored one was painted by an artificial intelligence, is really awesome! no?)
(The IA is here: Paints Chainer)
And then I started the 3D blocking:

Is not really amazing but it's good to see how things are made. And for the moment that's all for the alchemy work.
Then I wanted to continue a sword I was making in my free time when I was working in Madrid, on Future Lighthouse.

That's what I done in Madrid, how I encountered the file recently opened. 2 hours later,,,

That was the "easy" part, my brain exploded with the textures. In the concept art (That is not mine) the color is very dark, black and orange are good partners, one of my favorite choices, but I wanted to experiment the temper color of the metal and some iridescent touches on the paint, then, black was not a choice.
And here was my dilema, all the day asking my friends, my girlfriend, family, etc. But I didn't agree all the conclusions. You can check some of my friends proposals:

And, how I was saying, I was not happy at all with the proposals. The blue-green one looks cool, the white-orange is as good as the dark one, and the red was very simple for me,,, The golden one was not of my taste, but my friend Borja was really enthusiastic with it 😆
So, from the test and error I tried my own version:

Yeah!!
I was really happy with this one! So I decided to try one crazy thing. The sword looks really Asian, when you play too much J-RPG you know what I'm talking about. Well, I decided to search for a Japanese famous manga artist to make some drawings to fill the red part I signed in the second picture of the advanced WIP. And now, I'm waiting for an answer, maybe soon I will receive one, maybe two, probably zero, but I already have the no, so, I just wanted to try, you know.
And of course, I was really amazed with the result, so I talked with Borja (Again) who was finishing his amazing flying ship for ask If he wants to make some cool effects in the sword. But things gone too far,,,

(How far? A lot.)
Before anything, I want to show you from Borja, the impressive flying ship! Just look at this!
Awesome, right? As I said before he works really really hard, and best of all is that he knows to learn a lot of the things he hears from the others. That's why I love to work with him and to see all his works (deja-vu moment)
Things apart, the sword, yeah the sword project is going a bit far. I'm not going to say a lot about this, just only to show some pictures:
(In less than an hour I had these modules)
(Then I did uvs and a texture test, after that I started to climb)
(With the same pieces I finished the WIP of the first building)
But then,,,
(What kind of magic I used? I'm praying for the textures right now)
I'm not going to enter in more details about this, Is a really crazy extension for only just a sword, but if all goes good it worth it.
To end this blog entry, I'm going to show my first hand-drawn 3D texture, I have to say that I'm not really proud about it, but I tried, not as hard as I wanted. Everything has to be said.
