King's Quest 4 - Fisherman's House

So I thought I'd try my hand at another King's Quest 4 screenshot and went for the fisherman's house. While I liked the composition of the dwarve's house, I did end up changing the perspective a little for this one, and I must say I like the change.

















Here's another one.

















I think it's very pretty. Heehee.

King's Quest 4 - Dwarve's House

Wanting some practice, I made the background to a scene from King's Quest 4, the Dwarve's House. Once I was finished it, I wanted to see how well it would work as an animated background, so I did.

Enjoy it for what it's worth.

















Here's the video:

P.S. Here's a slightly modified version:

I Found The Chance

It's been a while since I've last written here, which is somewhat of a pity, but also the result of working nonstop for the past few months. It's not that I literally didn't have a few minutes to spare, but rather when I'm focused on working, my public writing part of the brain shuts down. It's only now reopened for business.

The good news is; I'm finally finished. What started out as a short movie, turned into an illustrated book. While I still have ambitions to make a short movie, I realized a few months ago that I didn't have enough time, or means to properly make a movie, especially without taking a couple years.

Since I had originally created all the assets to a 3D short movie, I decided to render out pictures and then retouch them to give them a painted look. I think it has a nice unique look, without looking foreign.

The story is entitled "Finding The Chance" and will hopefully be available to purchase in the next few days. When it is, I'll set up a page for it. It will be available from two places, Amazon, and the company that it's being printed through, CreateSpace.

Perhaps on a later date, I'll give some more technical descriptions of the process of writing, illustrating and then laying out a picture book. Until then... Have a great day.

Incidentally, the picture from my previous post is the same 3D room as the picture in this post, just given different wall texture, and made to look painted. Cool Huh!

Mysterious Project

Well I thought I'd post an image of the project I'm working on.
I initially had much higher ambitions of updating this blog more frequently, and staying active in the social places of the internet, but unfortunately it's one of the first desires to fly out the window when I'm working on something.
So, without further ado, this is a picture from one of the scenes, more specifically the Parlour Scene.
It's not completely finished. I want to cover the walls with something, but can't figure out what. Obviously there's no specific lighting, other than ambient light.
Even though it's not finished, it still gives a tiny glimpse of what I'm working on, which I hope will help in keeping interest.
So, please be patient and bear with me while I pull everything together, and hopefully I'll have something more worthwhile to show in the future.
