A blog: Part 4 – Covenant of the Blog

This is the enemy melee soldier that i talked about in my last blog, and his completed animations.
This week has been a veritable rollercoaster of good and bad, which is mostly down to the latest unity update. Our project was nearly destroyed when that update was rolled out, as it seemed to corrupt most of our files in very odd ways.
A normal file looks like this in notepad:

#Artwar Character Contest: Briannon | Final

This morning was the deadline for the #Artwar character contest which I am participating in.

As the feedback was coming in we noticed one very clear […]

Leafy green veg for your fish tank

With the first plant finished, I started to create a second plant as concept art. This time I wanted a plant that was more concentrated with multiple stems as large leaves. I found something that I could start with and began to create the shape. This type of plant has a central base or rock and has multiple large leaves that come up from the center.
