Asterix - Color Work 1 - Maya Model

I'm still working on this, but I thought I'd show the preliminary progress.  Gotta pick up the pace here...

Rendered with Mental Ray for Maya.

Here's something I whipped up while teaching myself lighting and texture design in Maya. Simple, but I think I like it. I hope to make it a habit to add at least one Maya rendered image and one character design exercise every week. Enjoy!

Here's a couple of samples of texture studies I did in gouache for my painting class. My teacher liked these ones, as did I, so I hope you do too!
