Within, Without.

hello,

No time to play, this is the 10 time that I rewrite this text because I keep on refreshing the page and each time I lose the text...

so here is what I salvaged so far... and I'm damned to pissed off to start again.

I thought I lost it, seriously I couldn't pick up my pen tablet... but I found it again in renewing a long lost friendship...

funny because I definitely didn't expect that type of affinity coming from that specific person. (due to past deeds but also because I'm a stupid guy sometime that should know better than listening what other have to say about others....)

Never mind. She gave me a new "muse" now. and that very! very! very! good. And she also stirred up some "melancholy" deep down that was sleeping. That not so good for me personally but infinitely good for the ART.

So thanks you.

The Picture is what I came up for her...

She told me that I had spotted exactly what she was feeling...

Funny again, cause the game was to describe what "I" was feeling...

Ha! ha! destiny has a f"""k sense of irony. (an angel passed, god nodded)

(hope you like it, and if not, it's doesn't matter because it is for her, and she does!)

A new portfolio

Hello...

so what's new ? i have a portfolio now, something really coll i wanted for so long .

so the address is

http://sigiel.darkfolio.com

have a look it's kinda clean and easy to navigate, so know I really can work it out :blog for the news... Portfolio for the art...

Don't worry I will still post some Pict in here.

And right here and right now...



and another one just for the fun ...

Dusk & Dawn….

 

Dusk….

Dawn…

 

I wanted to do a pure nude, but a simple one, not sexual meaning and all, just a soft, nice feeling pictures. a tiny bit melancholic…. so there we are, I think it depend on the view point, and of course the light, , I can imagine so many thing… 

Here the light is very important, (and took me so much time to get it right.)  It change the perception of the whole image, creating moods and background story yet it still the same concept…

I created the room from starch, (well using already made object) but placing, them, texturing them is done fully in house too.  as usual,

Figure posed in Dazstudio, assembled and textured then rendered in Cinéma 4D ,  I didn’t put the antialiasing cause for some reason it bug. it’s also the first time that I use Global Illumination in C4D. usually I fake it, with a dome of light.

composition took about 20 hours, rendering time about 1h…

Happy New Year !

So  my new year’s resolution are :

1) Write at least one post a month with 1 original picture.

2) Post interesting stuff, and also some tutorial…

3) Be happy, rich and sexy !!!!!

4) Find a girl friend that will not play the Mantis on me !!!

5) Finish the prototype, and sell it.

Okay that is it for now, let talk about the pictures, it’s actually a semi commission, my very first. it was done in vue 6 xtreams, no post work what 'so ever, pure vue6 rendering goody….

Took me about 2 hours of composition, the main object was modeled by me in c4d. (in about 10 min) so it’s a foot note in this story! and rendered in vue6  in about 1h in vue6…

See Ya, and happy new years.

In the mid-time, I'm drawing the plan for the Prototype, having at last decided on what Mobo and new technology I'm gonna use, (for those who don't know or don't remember...) I'm building and designing a new computer, it's very exiting as well as cutting edge stuff,  it's something no one ever thought of yet... I can't even think  that no one ever thought of this, but then sometime the obvious isn't that obvious!

anyway there is two project running here. and I'm sorry I can't say more!
