Character Design [TASK 2]

 

INSTRUCTIONS :

TASK 2 : CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

in this task we are expected to make some skins and study poses with a website with a timer. i enjoyed drawing gestures and tested myself with bigger brush since its easier for me to do it. this is the gestures sketches i did on class, the timer is medium level.

and then i continue to practice more, only 5 but the timer given was much faster

Ms Annis said i have a good gesture and focus more on the flow similar to the refrence. 

after the exercise, we continue to make poses for the character and this is sketches i did.

and i continued to make it to my character, number 2 is similar to the old one but i remake the leg. pose number 5 is quite hard to get it right.

Ms Annis said that i should go with number 2 or 3 and i think that number 3 is better so i continue it with that. in the mean time i also work on her Skins and Expression

Expressions

Her expression doesnt have much, because she's cold and not a very expressive person

Skin Designs

I come up with 2 skin designs, the first one is based of my Art Direction project and the other one was made during Dias Las Muertos week so i compile some refrences and made the skin

Dias Las Muertos 

For this skin i tried to match the representation to the day as having decorated skull face paint and the Marigold flower symbolizes as "Flower of the dead" and said to attract souls to an altar 

Space Skin

nothing much i can describe but it's based on our Art Direction project but im aiming for a more astronout and modern design just like the reference

Color study

I did some color variation to the character design and i played with palletes and switched the hues and i come up with this.

Ms Annis said the colors are fine but it would be more fitting if the character has more dark and neon like colors.

and i also did the weapon design

Presenation :

FEEDBACKS :

- some poses looks wierd but i should go for number 2 or 3

- i need to use a neon like color for the fitting theme "cyberpunk"

REFLECTION :

Experience :

This is one of my favorite yet, specially making the skin and developing the expressions. i got to use the current week im in (day of the dead week) as an inspiration and my other projects. Overall a fun task to do

Observation :

always look at the details and re-read the refrence an theme that you're looking for, becareful not to stretch too far from the concept

Findings :

for the skins, i look through some culture about the day of the dead and it's always fun to do some research based on a historical culture
