What am I doing?

edit: having just re-read this before posting I have noticed that I am not the best at getting my more personal thoughts or ideas in text, so bare with me :)

This entry might be a bit more personal then the others but things have certainly changed in my life that will greatly affect my art. Most significantly is that I dropped out of RIT. It was a big decision that was based simply on that I was not happy there. I recognized that what would make me truly happy was not being worked towards. Oddly enough, that "means of happiness" isn't 3D art or video games. For so long I thought it was, which is why I've been in and out of school, finishing some, all related to the art or video games. Is that really what I want to do? I don't know. What do I want to do? I don't know. 

So does this mean I'm giving up on 3D art? Hell no! It remains my passion as do video games, but I realized that those alone would not make me happy, they certainly haven't in the past.

So what next? I'm not too sure and that's ok :)

Blah blah blah, adult shit, yadda yadda yadda. "What's going on with the painter?" you may ask. Well, I am ashamed to say that I've been avoiding it. Nobody likes doing those last little boring bits. I got new ideas! This chick is good enough right? Well no, but just about. I have decided to scrap the grand plan of having her in her own scene and just render her painting on the easel with some pretty lighting.

What have I been doing instead of polishing the painter? Certainly not video games, of course not!

Here's some stuff:

That eyeball will soon be another character that I'd like to get as anatomically correct as possible. I would like it to be a good base body that I can reuse for different characters without having to build another from scratch, saving me a lot of time. With the base, generic body I "quickly" tweak and sculpt it into a unique character.

Anyway, here's some cool art that inspires me.

I've had these pictures saved on my computer for a while so I don't remember as of these artists or where I got them from. So if you are one of the artists and do not wish to have it displayed here or wish to be given the proper credit, please email me at henryh2956@gmail.com. Thanks! Your work is amazing!
