Weekly Drills 024 - #Sunglasses

This week we want you to find or design some sunglasses that could be used by a hero character for a game/film, then create a  project with it as the central piece and tag it #RookiesWeeklyDrills and #Sunglasses

Every hero character in a film or games typically needs a pair of sunnies. The right pair can really help the character look cool, a bit nerdy or even like a futuristic bounty-hunter. With this in mind, your challenge this week is to find a pair of sunnies that would be perfect for a character you have created before, or would like to create at a later date. You could even create a pair for your favourite character that exists in a game or film!

To get some feedback on your work-in-progress project before you submit it, head over to Discord channel and chat with other artists having a crack. To see all the Weekly Drill projects just follow this link.

#WeeklyDrills 024 - Sunglasses | The Rookies

For this week’s drill, I created sunglasses that are vaguely based on Polaroid sunglasses. I also experimented with some color variation for the glass. I used Maya to model and shade, Arnold to render and Nuke to polish the raw images.

Third Place

Out in the Sun | The Rookies

Here is my submission for the Weekly Drill to create a pair of sunglasses. I created these glasses as I have a very similar pair and I could use my own as a reference.

How do I tag my project?
