Costume Design


I was looking at my main web page, TaraNakanoArt.com and I noticed that I had not posted anything under sketches as yet.  I thought maybe I would try some costume designs for starters.  I'm not sure what I think of them.  I used a Copic brush pen to draw these and sometimes, perhaps even all the time, pressed a little to hard and the brush strokes are lumpy.  I'm sure it just takes practice like anything else.

Corner Gas Station

Hello everyone!
Here is my little Corner Gas Station.  I've updated the textures and lighting since you've seen it last.  I'm working on a little Acura that I'm going to drive down the street and park at the Gas Station soon. :D  Ha ha... maybe I'll end up making a whole micro world!  Funny.  All the modeling was done in Maya and the textures/ height maps were created in Photoshop.  Normal maps were created with Crazy bump.  Anyhow, with out further ado.  The Corner Gas Station! Enjoy!
