Kicking the bad habit

This week I tried to experiment more and tried to break out of my comfort zone by avoiding the dark bg to light on some of the pieces. I have to admit I struggle a lot with the dark fg to light fg since I was so used to doing it, its kinda becoming a really bad habit.. So I had to keep catching myself doing it out of habit and force myself to find different ways to make it work. Its kinda fun after a while, like solving puzzle pieces but really taxing on the mind :D. I ran out of time towards the end though so some of the pieces are still rough as I did not have time to polish it up. Let me know what do you think of the thumbs!

Experimenting on my pipelines, trying to do things faster by keeping it rough..

I always struggle with drawing in photoshop so that is definitely something I am trying to work on this year. Also took this chance to refresh my memory in maya.

The new maya has tonnes of new tools but many of the old tools are not in the same tab I remembered them to be at... thank god for google! It took me a while to just to get to the following state.

I have heard friends recommending sketchup saying that its faster to model and easier to pick up.. so that is another thing I am planning to experiment with.
