Computer arts resit – 01

 

 

 

Research

 

 

First I began by writing out a short lore word document to base my v=characters off of the began researching art depicting similar archetypes that could be applied to my own characters.

After I sellected a few from the to for mood boards for each character and potential character

 

the humans

 

The humans spider mounts

Land of despair

 

 

Moloch

 

Moloch’s cavern

 

 

 

 

 

 

Molochs cultists

 

 

 

 

 

Mammon

 

 

Suicide tree’s

  

 

Content and them guide

While  zdzisław beksiński and hironemous bosch were influential in what I wished to depict I do not believe that I could match their style nor how to approach doing so in the time I have.

Copic marker style guide

Soft and oil pastel guide

 

I would like to explore using pastel and copics a bit more and will attempt their use in my concept research.

Concept developement

And I began to develop my ideas starting with rough Ideas before I began the reserach

 

 

I did some studies onto the eye’s and nose to refresh how I could best depict them before taking a more serious attempt at the concept art.

 

I began bey drawig out either elments of characters in artwork or combining them to try and get more clear focus onto the subjects

 

 

 

 

 

I quite Liked the idea’s of the hair color, patchwork clothes and masks so decide to use these to create my character.

 

A study of “the evil owl” lengthend form as I quite liked the menacing face. 

But I wanted a more etheral form for the character and studied some shapes that had no traditonal body

 

Molochs form was more complicated but I quite liked using oil and soft pastels to render the more stone like appearance.

 

 

With some clear ideas as tgo what they looked like I created some thumbnails for these three characters as I did not have enough time to create more for the other characters but these were the three main ones I wished to represent anyway.

Mammon

 

Moloch

 

 

Human

 

Character sheets were a bit rushed and lacking detail but like the diferent shapes I put into each one

 

Moloch

Mammon

Human (Seris Lugal)

 

 

 

 

Advanced Animation – Summer resit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After looking through the 11 second club for a suitable clip to animate to I found three which I felt were best to explore a bit, I wrote out the dialogue for each and tried to imagine how I would go through them to bring them to life and choose the one I felt was the strongest.

 

After having decided on what piece to animate I tried to break down each different emotional expression and adapt them to the models I had chosen to work on, this gave me a single source to animate from.

 

After that I did a study into the different posses with family members to get a better understanding of what the bodies would look like.

Then I chose what the default pose would be to set the tone of the animation.  

I also quickly did some studies and reesearch to refresh my memory of the principles of animation.

 

 

 

 

 

The animated piece was quite short but I tried to break down the story boards between the different big motions that each character makes.

 

 

I then researched the common lip syncing for animation and tried saying each characters lines while watching in a mirror to see what it looked like and create a guide through the dialogue.
