Reina Elizondo's Brain Canvas
My name is Reina Elizondo I'm studying at SCAD to be a matte painter.
I now have a new website: www.reinaelizondo.com
At first I was just posting my paintings of various mediums. Now I'm still posting paintings, but they tend to be more often digital.
Thanks for taking a look.

Steampunk Android
I textured this found 3D model of an android/robot using mia_material x in Mental Ray. I wanted to give her a steampunk style so I focused on some oxidized copper and brass textures along with a cracked-glaze porcelain with rust stains.
I found the model here. I UV'd it and fixed some of the facial geometry to make it easier to texture.

RenderMan Jack-In-The-Box
For this project we had to use Pixar's PRMan and RenderMan Studio to render a model of a jack-in-the-box with the theme; Fools and their money are soon parted.
I am responsible for all assets, including texturing, modeling and lighting. Rendered with RenderMan. These are my final renders. For the technical breakdown, click here.

Organic Texture: Frog!
Slimy Frog - by Reina Elizondo |
Dead Frog - by Reina Elizondo |
I painted a base texture in Mari; I used this project as an excuse to start learning it. Unfortunately, time crunches meant I had to finish the details of the textures through Photoshop. The frog textures, were entirely painted in Mari and Photoshop. The lily pad and eye textures were composited in Photoshop from various web references. (The most recognizable of which was this lovely dead lily pad.
The model was from 3DVIA.com by Matku. Although it came without eyes.
What I found most challenging was the way the SSS shader effected displacement maps. I'm happiest with the slimy look of the live frog.

Double Rainboom: It's out! Spoilers, Rough Backgrounds
Double Rainboom is a not-for-profit fan-made collaborative animation by students at my school and people all over the world. Directed by Zachary Rich.
Before it came out, I couldn't post two of these rough backgrounds because they have spoiler hints. So, here are the three rough backgrounds I worked on in 2012. (If you haven't seen it yet go to http://www.doublerainboom.com/watch.html)
Megan Phillips, the background lead for the Townsville scenes, told me they wound up having to simplify this. She said, "basically, it's too good". PPG had a lot more of a quick and dirty style, so they could get their episodes out. PPG was traditionally animated.
This was the last one I did for the animation. They had many artists and had most of the planned backgrounds assigned by the time I finished it.
All in all I had simple one point perspective backgrounds, but I felt like it helped me a lot having such detailed feedback during this process. I've learned a lot from this team.
