Total time about 32 hours!Then finally the work as viewed from all four sides, you'll notice the middle part of the vehicle is missing because that part was already given to me modeled and textured by the company. My job was to match the other artists' skill level/style as much as possible.
The end result? I received an email telling me what I did right and wrong, and that they'd call me back in the following week.
I'm still working the internship for which I can not show any work. If my stuff ever gets approved and posted somewhere I'll be sure to grab a pic of it and post it here. Stay tuned and I'll ... not give up
