Nicoleta has gathered 51 artists from around the world to participate in this exhibit. I was invited by Nicoleta to become a part of this wonderful exhibit to showcase artwork related to the late great Michael Jackson. So I submitted my Michael Jackson caricature that I had done in 2008.&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/R50txIyjZNI/AAAAAAAAAq4/BJN4LP5XgIo/s1600-h/michael_jackson.jpg"&gt;Click Here To See&lt;/a&gt; Starting today, Oct. 1, 2009, The exhibit is being hosted at the Politehnica University of Bucharest.

On the character with the red shirt, I did the UV layout for the parts that I was going to texture. I just did simple textures and also modeled a collar for the shirt.

I wanted the main weapon to have multiple parts that could also be used as weapons on their own, if the main weapon no longer had ammo. The parts of the weapon are not only functional on their own but also work together as a whole. Here are some variations with the different pieces attatched. The gun consists of a double chamber revolver with blade end handle. It also has a sword up above and a knife below to be used for slicing. The knife below can also be used for hand support. They can each be removed and used seperately as well. The weapon also has a laser site and a telescope sight. It is a work in progress. I have to fix some geometry, do the uv layout and then on to texturing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-929857011233591019?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/929857011233591019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=929857011233591019&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/929857011233591019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/929857011233591019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/09/weopon-design.html' title='Weapon Design'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RvN66kaTwtI/AAAAAAAAAk8/UPuJOeQaLoI/s72-c/weapon_design_jr_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-908625050276905968</id><published>2007-08-25T13:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-25T13:47:14.608-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sketchbook'/><title type='text'>Elvis Presley</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RtCVM2jxJAI/AAAAAAAAAkc/lOAcGovLFAs/s1600-h/jr_elvis_02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RtCVM2jxJAI/AAAAAAAAAkc/lOAcGovLFAs/s320/jr_elvis_02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102742425847276546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RtCVNGjxJBI/AAAAAAAAAkk/YZknHUwycdw/s1600-h/jr_elvis_01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RtCVNGjxJBI/AAAAAAAAAkk/YZknHUwycdw/s320/jr_elvis_01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102742430142243858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RtCVNWjxJCI/AAAAAAAAAks/Y1v8ksFCfdk/s1600-h/jr_elvis_03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RtCVNWjxJCI/AAAAAAAAAks/Y1v8ksFCfdk/s320/jr_elvis_03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102742434437211170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past August 16th marked the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death.

It is said that the owner of the castle still lives there but nobody has ever seen him. Nobody knows when the castle was built but stories of riches beyond anyones wildest dreams is said to be located deep within the castle. The few who have reached the outer edge have felt great fear/sickness and either returned home to die slowly or have fallen to their deaths. The castle was built on top of a mountain top and the foundation below has been weakened by the weather and by the ocean below. Some hike up near the mountain and imagine the treasure close within their grasp but are brought back to reality when they look down to see the countles bones scattered below.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-361005857353227847?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/361005857353227847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=361005857353227847&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/361005857353227847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/361005857353227847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/08/castle-kronog.html' title='Castle Kronog'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RrmByFMeytI/AAAAAAAAAiw/xGPEgx_Z80g/s72-c/jr_castle_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-1076179329321121610</id><published>2007-07-24T22:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-23T00:01:15.116-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Art Studies'/><title type='text'>Something Different</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rqbe9VMeyqI/AAAAAAAAAiY/u-GORZdkd9M/s1600-h/space.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rqbe9VMeyqI/AAAAAAAAAiY/u-GORZdkd9M/s320/space.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091001574031805090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is something a bit different.

They both work together traveling around entertaining the towns. The father, on the left, is an expert puppeteer and cares a lot about his craft/profession. He holds a shadow puppet with great care. He wants to pass down the skills to his only son. On the right is his son. His son means well but is clumsy, lazy, and goofy. He holds his shadow puppet the incorrect way and breaks it.  He also wears a picture of his mother on his head wrap in her memory. In the middle is the Beast of Burden, Buddy. He is loyal and grew up with the shadow puppeteer family. He likes to have fun but can sometimes get into trouble too. He sometimes doesn't have patience for the shadow puppeteer's son and hates it when he sleeps on his back and drools (As seen in the story beat below) A smaller story beat depicts Buddy and the son knocking over the cart and getting yelled at by the shadow puppetmaster.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-6608827099196177715?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/6608827099196177715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=6608827099196177715&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/6608827099196177715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/6608827099196177715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/05/shadow-puppeteers.html' title='Shadow Puppeteers'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RkdrKM8pjyI/AAAAAAAAAbc/tFcXB32zLWs/s72-c/sp_character_lineup.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-6085836572715276836</id><published>2007-05-09T11:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-23T00:01:42.906-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Character Designs'/><title type='text'>Koala Joey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RkIbMM8pjuI/AAAAAAAAAa8/X96jD28yadk/s1600-h/Koala_Joey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RkIbMM8pjuI/AAAAAAAAAa8/X96jD28yadk/s320/Koala_Joey.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062638827565846242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a fun animal sketch of Koala Joey.

At the top is the leader of the group named Rick Nightengale. He is ready for battle using his ghost hunting gun which enables him to shoot out a goo that can temporarily matterialize the ghosts and make them catchable. He can also set the gun to kill if necassary. Then there is Prof. Nicholas Frost who invents the team's ghost hunting equipment. He uses a vacuum type gun that is used to capture ghosts in various bottle sizes. He always carries his tool kit with him and has many pockets to store the ghosts. He also has a huge ghost container on his back for larger more evil ghosts. Then there is Francine Bruneau, she is tough and shoots to kill. She is dressed in Victorian clothing. She has a larger gun and is connected to more powerful goo. She can stun the ghosts but is able to kill them quickly. Finally, there is Iva Nara, she is blind but able to see ghosts. She helps in guiding the team to find evil ghosts. She is wearing clothing that covers her up and protects her because she is afraid of ghosts. The clothing has Japanese writing in gold that translates to, "Sacred, evil ghosts don't hurt me". This message is written on her fan and her umbrella/cane. The Japanese writing in gold, fan, umbrella, and amulets help in keeping her safe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-9030597733493962891?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/9030597733493962891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=9030597733493962891&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/9030597733493962891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/9030597733493962891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/04/ghost-hunters-character-designs.html' title='Ghost Hunters: Character Designs'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RhGbdLrYtnI/AAAAAAAAAWY/jLV9-AIZ4b8/s72-c/Gh_Rick02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-1733056801332722750</id><published>2007-03-28T22:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-22T23:13:56.726-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Speed Paints'/><title type='text'>Speed Paints 01 (20min)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtXCLrYtdI/AAAAAAAAAVE/io-jgcdIa60/s1600-h/SpeedPaint09_JR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtXCLrYtdI/AAAAAAAAAVE/io-jgcdIa60/s200/SpeedPaint09_JR.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047223502404892114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtXCLrYteI/AAAAAAAAAVM/e7xbRsjy97o/s1600-h/Ref09.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtXCLrYteI/AAAAAAAAAVM/e7xbRsjy97o/s200/Ref09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047223502404892130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW47rYtZI/AAAAAAAAAUk/neeSUMG2U4c/s1600-h/SpeedPaint08_JR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW47rYtZI/AAAAAAAAAUk/neeSUMG2U4c/s200/SpeedPaint08_JR.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047223343491102098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW5LrYtaI/AAAAAAAAAUs/oG23Uo_X0r0/s1600-h/Ref08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW5LrYtaI/AAAAAAAAAUs/oG23Uo_X0r0/s200/Ref08.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047223347786069410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW5LrYtbI/AAAAAAAAAU0/AMKpbHQG400/s1600-h/SpeedPaint07_JR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW5LrYtbI/AAAAAAAAAU0/AMKpbHQG400/s200/SpeedPaint07_JR.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047223347786069426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW5brYtcI/AAAAAAAAAU8/lAjSSEPMSfM/s1600-h/Ref07.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtW5brYtcI/AAAAAAAAAU8/lAjSSEPMSfM/s200/Ref07.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047223352081036738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are all three 20 minute speed paints along with the refrence. I have to say that the 20 minute deadline really tested me. It forced me to block in everything quicker than I would have on the 30 minute Spider-man speed paints. I also have to say that practicing with the 30 minute speed paints also helped in adjusting to the shorter time.  I had a lot of fun with them but they were really challenging.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-1733056801332722750?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/1733056801332722750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=1733056801332722750&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/1733056801332722750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/1733056801332722750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/03/speed-paints-01-20min.html' title='Speed Paints 01 (20min)'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgtXCLrYtdI/AAAAAAAAAVE/io-jgcdIa60/s72-c/SpeedPaint09_JR.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-1746325303900859042</id><published>2007-03-27T00:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-22T23:16:37.641-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Speed Paints'/><title type='text'>Speed Paint 04 (60min)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgjCdMRHIcI/AAAAAAAAATk/q2VMaFbFqm0/s1600-h/sp3_04jr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgjCdMRHIcI/AAAAAAAAATk/q2VMaFbFqm0/s320/sp3_04jr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046497189233631682" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgjCdcRHIdI/AAAAAAAAATs/z7JpmF2x9q4/s1600-h/sp3_04ref.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgjCdcRHIdI/AAAAAAAAATs/z7JpmF2x9q4/s320/sp3_04ref.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046497193528598994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a one hour speed paint. I originally stopped at 30 minutes but it didn't have the webbing just like the previous speed paint. I really wanted to include the web design in at least one of the Spider-man speed paints. So I used the extra 30 minutes to add the webbing. I stayed with the classic Spider-man look and just had the black lines for web design.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-1746325303900859042?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/1746325303900859042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=1746325303900859042&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/1746325303900859042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/1746325303900859042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/03/speed-paint-04-60min.html' title='Speed Paint 04 (60min)'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/RgjCdMRHIcI/AAAAAAAAATk/q2VMaFbFqm0/s72-c/sp3_04jr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-4531043245191774564</id><published>2007-03-26T17:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-22T23:22:43.035-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Speed Paints'/><title type='text'>Speed Paint 03 (30min)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rghi8MRHIaI/AAAAAAAAATU/QTBBX6M5-Ms/s1600-h/sp3_03jr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rghi8MRHIaI/AAAAAAAAATU/QTBBX6M5-Ms/s320/sp3_03jr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046392168693309858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rghi8cRHIbI/AAAAAAAAATc/dtZ2ng0P5zs/s1600-h/sp3_03ref.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rghi8cRHIbI/AAAAAAAAATc/dtZ2ng0P5zs/s320/sp3_03ref.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046392172988277170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another 30 minute speed paint.

It is the last speed paint for the week. This was the toughest one of all. At first glance I just saw a bunch of detail and didn't know where to begin. But I began to block in the big shapes and then went on to focus what I believed was more important which was the face. Just like the clouds of speed paint 5, the bulk of the hour was spent on trying to get the face right. I then moved on to continue blocking in more of the background. I couldn't get into the details as I would have like but I think it is a good start for an hour.

Man, this one was tough. I worked in 3 layers. The first layer I worked on was on the clouds. I think clouds are really difficult to get down correctly and I spent a good chunk of the hour trying to get it right. But I had to move on so I then worked on the water on another layer and the boats and shack on another layer. The hour went by very quickly and I couldn't get into the details as I would have liked. But overall I think it looks ok.

Just when I started to get into the details the hour limit was up. I had a lot of fun on this one. I worked on several layers for this one just to speed things up. I worked on the sky on one layer, did the foreground elements and posts on another and did the water on another layer. This made it quick to go back in edit. I will post the other speed paints for the week as soon as I get them done. Have a great day.

Were were supposed to make an environment piece from our own story. I decided to make a high mountain shrine that plays an important role in my story and characters. The idea was to build the environment and play with the lighting using flashlights all while thinking about focal points. We were also supposed to think of the model set as theatre stage sets. We had to think about where the characters would walk around and interact. We were also supposed to use these sets as refrence for our drawings and put our characters in the environment. I built my set out of found objects. I used a cardboard box foundation to begin. I then used foam board, tape, paper bags, newspaper, paper mache, and then painted with acrylic paints. This was a lot of fun and helpful. Here I have pictures of the model set as well as thumbnail drawings of the initial concept of what i wanted the  set to look like.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-234951178718678271?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/234951178718678271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=234951178718678271&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/234951178718678271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/234951178718678271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2007/03/model-set-high-mountain-shrine.html' title='Model Set: High Mountain Shrine'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rf3Ls_nc9YI/AAAAAAAAAQc/jjxyxka81Wo/s72-c/HighMountainShrine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-7390520101149238328</id><published>2007-03-13T20:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-22T23:21:39.339-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Speed Paints'/><title type='text'>Speed Paint 3</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rfd1IVfTXkI/AAAAAAAAAP0/d4XiWUDZfT0/s1600-h/SpeedPaint03_JR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rfd1IVfTXkI/AAAAAAAAAP0/d4XiWUDZfT0/s320/SpeedPaint03_JR.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041627093932400194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rfd1IVfTXlI/AAAAAAAAAP8/_DXHWQnj7Rg/s1600-h/Ref03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_c3QA63fDVxk/Rfd1IVfTXlI/AAAAAAAAAP8/_DXHWQnj7Rg/s320/Ref03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041627093932400210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the third speed paint of the week.

We are supposed to paint these from photo refrence.  It was done in photoshop using a wacom tablet and worked on for one hour. We could not work under or over an hour. Our BFA teacher &lt;a href="http://longfish.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dela Longfish&lt;/a&gt; assigned three for this week. I recommend it if you haven't tried it. It will train your eye, increase speed, and develop photoshop painting skills. I tried to get as far as I could before the hour ended. I began with the background color and then blocked in the big shapes. I worked trying to match the color, values, soft and hard edges.  It was a lot of fun. Hope to do better next time. I will post the other two when I get them done.

It is a place that has many things I love all in one place. Comics, animation, movies, art, artists, action figures, books, friends, and the list goes on and on. I was able to go with my good friend Nelson, seen standing in front of some S.F. buildings, and later with my cousin Saul. My cousin and I also ran into some great friends and enjoyed the amazing art and artists at WonderCon. Here we all are enjoying lunch at the Metreon in S.F. Brad Bird and Patton Oswalt's presentation for, Pixar's next film, Ratatouille was unforgettable. Some of the other movies showcased were Spider-man 3, Ninja Turtles, Surf's Up, and 300 to name a few. Also Marvel and DC have some big plans for this year and it is looking awesome so far. It is going to be a great year overall for films and comics. I was also lucky to meet and talk with some artists that have inspired me. Here is a picture of Patrick Morgan (Whale Boy), Ed Acosta, and Jose Lopez (Mariachi Samurai) at their booth. Some of the nicest people I have met. It all went by so fast.

I modeled and unwrapped the UVs for now but plan on texturing it soon. I began texturing but I got some great advice from Craig Voigt, who worked on the animated feature Barnyard, to not be limited by one UV map. The reason is by having more UV maps you can have more resolution/detail on the textures. He gave this advice with the past two models I posted and I plan on making those changes to my future models.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34352749-116682972315441348?l=jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/feeds/116682972315441348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34352749&amp;postID=116682972315441348&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/116682972315441348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34352749/posts/default/116682972315441348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaimeramirezart.blogspot.com/2006/12/3d-modeling-toy-soldier-firing.html' title='3D Modeling: Toy Soldier Firing'/><author><name>Jaime Ramirez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871028786695660790</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sh2pTafNjXc/Tga7Fny_O5I/AAAAAAAAB4c/2Qz8licUB14/s220/Optimus_small.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352749.post-116682903318945317</id><published>2006-12-22T15:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-08-22T23:17:36.817-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='3D Modeling'/><title type='text'>3D Modeling: Clock</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5628/3784/1600/375968/clock_layout.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5628/3784/320/767673/clock_layout.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a 3D model I worked on this past semester.
