This is the same photo as the previous post but processed in Topaz's Black & White Effects. After that, I added a texture from ifdezelle. Having seen others use textures such as this, I thought I'd give it a try. I think it works, at least to some degree, as I like it better than the original, below. What are your thoughts?

Its been a while so I guess here is another photo of my puppy! Obiwon Kenobi! Midterms are almost done~
one last test tomorrow morning!
I still haven't forgotten about the promised mini-series. ;)
I wouldn't do this for their book, but I was playing with making the background less central. Voila, my artificial snoot. Eh.
I wanted to upload something too to thank my friend Zoe for writing me such a wonderful testimonial. I haven't been able to really produced much of what I've wanted lately, and it's really meant a lot to have everyone's kind words lately, I still don't feel like they're merited, especially from such esteemed photographers...seriously, each of the people who've taken the time to write on my behalf have skills I look up to. So, thank you Zoe! Seriously people, check out her masks, they're awesome.

So some of you have asked me about this. Here is the process. Read from left to right, top to bottom. Everything is done by me during down time at work.
I started with sketches and concepts. I would like to visualize the design as much as possible on paper first. This is the most crucial step which helps a lot with modeling later. Here I only show the final sketches but these are just a small portion of what actually went on paper.
Second step is to start modeling! When I have a basic idea of what the design looks like, I use a program called Alias Auto Studio to visualize the 2D drawings into 3D. I modeled everything, no premade 3D parts. I also did some computer rendering of the design to test out some color choices.
When all the parts are done on 3D. I use my 3D printer to print them out. Final step is to paint! The grey you see on the last photo is the primer. I usually do 3-4 coats of primer, and sanding in between from 150 grid to 400 grid, before moving on color paints.
The whole process takes about 1 month for sketching, 3-6 months for modeling ( depends on how many hours I have free), Printing all the pieces takes about 350 hours on the printer. The result: the model is 5th scale, about 100 pieces, and eats up about 600 hours so far.
