2D/3D Art Homework #9: Fishy Business, Part Four

This week very nearly killed me. I have been carefully documenting my own slow slip backwards into a quiet loss of grasp on reality.

It's time to push 3D modeling into ... maximum overdrive.

There was a lot of modeling done this week. I took a handful of in-progress shots, so I'll go ahead and share those. The first is after I finished modeling on the fish pirate's head:

This second one was after I modeled the shoulder guard and the chest armor:

(I've also did the arms, the hook, and most of the hand, but I'll take a screenshot of that and edit it into this after class...)
