Yoda paint over

The left Yoda presents brighter colours which indicates a happy scene, whereas the right Yoda presents darker colours indicating either a depressing or more serious scene.

Insectoid Character Design

This weeks assignment was to create an insectoid character. As usual I created a mood board for reference to my final design. I looked into the praying mantis and then searched for artistic work of characters inspired by the insect.

My character lives in the tropical rainforest and is the queen of her species. Due to her role she has evolved a more predominant feminine physique.

High School Detective - Object Update

I have progressed with the hidden objects for our game. So far I have created nine items for our hidden object game. I have been assigned to create a total of twenty items which includes a special combined object.

Here are the current objects:

Life Drawing - Foreshortening

The topic of my last life drawing class was foreshortening. We all drew the model from three different angles and poses. The task was quite challenging as it required a lot of concentration but I was quite impressed with how my drawings turned out.

Statue idea

For my battle arena I am going to create a statue to help add a sense of narrative to it. My current battle arena is inspired by ancient mythology and I have previously created a mood board for reference. Because my battle arena is somewhat dystopian, I want my statue to appear old and damaged.

At the moment I am unsure if I want my statue to look realistic or stylised. However, I think a stylised statue would look better. Below is my statue concept if I decide to go for a realistic looking statue.

Rendering Curved Surfaces

I have previously looked at how light behaves on curved surfaces and in my visual design class I was  given a line work image of a monster and was asked to apply my knowledge of light to it.

Steampunk Concept

For Visual Design we were set a homework to create a concept of a steampunk character or item. I decided to create a steampunk styled camera.

I decided to do a camera as I thought it would be something different. I collected a range of photos from google for reference purposes when drawing my initial sketch.

I noticed that steampunk often incorporates cogs or other industrial pieces into the design, therefore I made sure that my outcome related to those elements.

I decided to 3D model my camera then use photoshop to add textures to it. Personally I am not a fan of my outcome as I don't think the textures relate to the steampunk style particularly well. However, I do think my actual 3D model represents a steampunk inspired camera.
