Unfortunately I was ill through the 19th, 20th and 23rd, so I wasn't able to do any work on those days

I have completed my page on my Inspirations, I have gone into detail on my inspirations work and why they inspire me. I added my other inspirations, Ashley Adams and Glauco Longhi. I also finished my God Of War Fan Art, I'm not Particularly happy with the face because it looks rushed and doesn't look right based on the pose and the perspective. But I learnt from this mistake and will continue to work on it. During the week I was working on a sculpt for a friend, I was given a reference and I was tasked to make this in ZBrush, I want to put this on my blog to show my progress in sculpting and modelling. The character was stylized and I wanted to make it have realistic hair, I attempted to use Fibermesh in Zbrush, which is a tool that quickly generates hair, fur, and other materials. Unfortunately when I finished, the result was terribly, I decided to put this on the blog to show my good and bad projects. Here are some screenshots: As you can see, this project was a complete failure, but this is a lesson for myself. I'm not good at everything, looking at these screenshots, I now realise what my weaknesses are and I know how to fix them and how I should approach a project like this, I'm not particularly fond of stylized characters, but there is no harm in giving it a go, so I want to take this project, and further my knowledge of stylised characters and spend some time making quick sculpts based on cartoon characters. I continued with the male torso sculpt, I might be using this for my God Of War project, I need to draw concept art and go into detail on the accessories and make a visualisation diagram, I still need to make a backstory and talk about colour theory and many other things. The head is a base mesh so I haven't made the face yet, I'm only using the base mesh as a placeholder. So far I have the whole body apart from the hands, I have legs and the feet blocked out. The next step is to add more polygons on the Dynamesh and then look at my reference and focus on the details, I am happy with the body and comfortable with adding the details and refine. Here are some screenshots of the body: I started doing a quick sketch of kratos, I wanted to start doing drawing without the guidelines, I have the outline and I am happy, but I will start shading and drawing details another day.
I made a new page in Unit 9-10 called Inspiration and began to discuss my inspirations and how I will use them for the Project, I discussed Raf Grassetti and Flipped Normals. I talked about their history, who they have worked for, and showed some of their work in the form of a slide show, I still have two more inspirations to add and I will add them tomorrow.
I began a personal project, which was a coure I had bought from Raf Grassetti, on how to sculpt a male torso, and her are some screenshots of what I have done so far: I will be working on this every few days because I need to get my Website up to date and need to start concepting my character for these units I changed the layout of my website by adding the Unit 9-10 header and Progression header, I began to layout my Units 9-10, I am a bit behind on the R&D section of the website and I hope to start that section next week.
The pre-production units started this week, and our task is to show our skills and create a small animation or model, The class has till 15th December, I am very confident with my skills and I have gathered all of my ideas ready to start my sculpting,
Idea: My idea is to make a character and to give it a small camera animation, almost like a promo trailer/showcase. My inspiration is the Popular Playstation franchise, God Of War. My character concept will be inspired by Kratos and some other characters in the latest game on PS4. Here is a Moodboard: During the weekend, I continued drawing and I started to smudge the pencil shading to get smooth transitions between the highlights and shadows, You can definitely see improvement in the drawing, but there is some stuff to improve on and the observation has been improved so much, I'm so happy about these pieces and can't wait to further my experience and knowledge. During the first two days of October, I wanted to get back into art so, I started to draw these, I drew two of them on the 1st and the other two on the 2nd. I noticed that observation got better and better each time I drew, but there was still improvements to be made. I also continued with the website and fixed the layout of the website. |
