The ship.




Im currently building the ship in 3ds Max and it started me thinking about how it will be positioned in the water/on the ice and decided I couldnt carry on modelling the ship until I know exactly how much will be visible.


So I have started painting a scene that I will help me positiong the ship and figure out how to model it more efficiently. 

I keep painting the ship into the water but think I need to take a step back and think more about the compositiong of the painting, I wont get a good idea of the ship's resting place with just a side view of the scene.
I have been sketching some ideas but think i need to just look at more ice. I'm obviously not familiar with arctic environments and dont know where to start. Im going to watch frozen planet sketch at the same time :)

  1. FEEDBACK

    This is a really promising project, and you've done a commendable amount of concepting and planning. It would be good to catch up soon to see how you;re getting on at actually producing stuff as that's what the focus needs to be on from now on.

    If you could update the blog asap to show latest developments that would be good. It would allow us to see whether you're on track to complete the project to the highest possible level or whether you might be falling behind a little and nned to adjust the schedule or production list accordingly.

    Either way, as it's now almost half way through feb I'd feel more confident if I could get a decent overview of how things stand.
