So I'm doubtful I'll finish to be able to enter into  The Rookies again this year for various reasons. But I'm trying not to let that stop me from accomplishing something. The stretch goal is June 17th for the texturing of this dude. I'll add the warrior after. I'm open to thoughts, comments, suggestions, what you like, what pitfalls to be wary of, etc. Thanks for your feedback and support. *it's amazing what some lighting can do*If you are wondering where this huggable dragon came from, IMAGE 1 shows the model/textures for 2020. IMAGE 2 Phase 1 Base Color IMAGE 3 Substance Viewport lighting. This is a WIP of the overall base coloring of the dragon. 

Making some progress on my Articty V Arborus (Winged Hero V Dragon Sculpt). Today is AB Day.

Happy 2022 everyone.

I wanted to share some projects I'm working on this month.

These are some 3D projects

Proj1: Articty v Arborus / Son v Father (3 weeks until completion)

Proj2: Deadslug girl (6 weeks project until completion)

Concept art is from this amazing artist: Mathias Osland https://www.artstation.com/artwork/L3kJqR

(WIP 1) Posing

Proj3: Dwarven god of war (2 weeks project until completion)

So it has been quite some time since I have to do any posting/ documentation of what I have been up to. As the title of this post says I have embarked on the job search again. Though I quickly realized that I need to start creating new works and be more active in my communities so that people know who I am and what I have to offer. To start in making things easier I have created an https://linktr.ee/MalachiMaynard to help organize all my work under one link, while still keeping everything separate at the same time too.

In summary, I am a visual communicator, who focuses on typography, layout design, 3D character, and Hardsurface modeling. I teach youth 3D printing and graphic design, drawing, character design, and more. 

I'm currently looking for freelance work or the opportunity to join a team and contribute my vast skills, and grow as an artist.

(Above) I have started exploring a new armor design from my original concept from the main character from my novel.(Above) Here is a work in progress of some progress of the facial anatomy I've been working on for my new model to come.(Above) are some typography works that if interested more can be seen on my Behance page. 

(Above) I have started building my brand called Scyth3 Designs.
(Above) is a new mixed-media digital painting I have done bridging some old traditional work into a more digital medium. This work is available for purchase as prints and more on my Redbubble site in the link tree link above.

I just finished a test grayscale render of the Heldigunner upgraded from the old toyish looking model. Now it is off to UV and setup for painting.

NEW

OLD

As one journey ends in a designer’s path, one must find the strength to continue on. This post is for all those at this juncture in life professionally and personally. I want to share with you some words of wisdom and encouragement that you may have already heard before. But every time I myself have heard and seen these words I view them in a new way.

1. Remain result orientated and be proactive. If no one has done it before you then be the pioneer.
2. Everything is impossible to those that don’t try.

Live, design experiences, and inspire those in every room you enter.

Design Hacks:

1. Be HONEST with yourself and your designs, don’t try to be something you aren’t.
2. Be THOROUGH, give it your all and more. Limits are self placed.
3. Become TIMELESS & IMPACTFUL.
4. START.
