Monday 13th May
Today i have been drawing my final concept piece of my final designed character in his pose that i have chosen for him to be in, the pose i decided on was the Boxing pose, i chose this pose because the clothes i decided to put him in suited this role a lot more than any other pose i could've chose, and i personally like this stance for fighting. I have drawn him up in this pose and then started colouring him in, just using a solid tine at first which is given the character a very flat look however i will not have enough time to complete him in a 3d toned way today so i will do that tomorrow. I have finally completed my character in the flat tone today for my concept piece.
Tuesday 14th May
Today i have just been continuing with colouring in my character, however yesterday i did it in a flat tone, today i decided to give him more life in the concept piece with the 3d toned look. this took me all of today's lesson to do however i have finally completed my concept art piece, and I'm extremely happy with how i have managed to make it look.
Thursday 16th May
Today i decided to give my concept art a background instead of just a character in plain white space, being that it is a boxing character for a fighting game i put him in a fighting arena, showing a boxing ring in the background. Also i was mainly just printing out pictures today and sticking them in my sketchbook.
Friday 17th May
Today is the deadline to give everything I have done throughout this project in to my tutor, the only thing i had left to do was my brief template, so that was the first thing i did as soon as i came into the lesson. Now that i have done that i am finished and have handed in everything on time, and i am not behind for anything.

WEEK 5
Tuesday 7th May
Today i just started colouring in some of the clothes for my character, this way it will give me a better idea of what it will look like once i am done. I am still deciding whether to keep the black lines in my picture or not to, i think it'll be better if i do. I'm deciding on the colours to use for the clothes at this moment in time. I also started trying to merge the face with the body however I'm having problems trying to do that in proportion.
Thursday 9th May
Today i finally put the head on the body in a good proportioned way, and therefor i could start going over the whole thing with the clothes i decided to use for my character, and this way i could start colouring it as well so i could have a proper idea of what the actual concept piece is going to look like of i decide to put him in these clothes. By the end of today i had finished the piece with just his Thai boxing shorts on.
Friday 10th May
Today i continued colouring his clothes, i had started remaking his robe again and this time i started colouring the robe in as well. However i am planning on drawing the robe on him in different ways as well so this way i have options on which way it would look best on him in the game.
I finished my final picture today with all the clothes on i have decided on that i want him to wear for the game, i have added his scars on, his clothes on, and all the things that make him so unique. Now all i have left to do is do the final concept art with him in a fighting pose that really shows what the character is about without even reading anything that tells you about the character.

WEEK 4
Monday 29th April
Today i have been continuing with the look of the body improving certain aspects of his figure creating him in a more unique way, once i had finished with the body creating it on Photoshop, i then decided to start on the clothing. So i had got some reference pictures of boxing clothes such as a boxers robe, a boxers shorts, and boxing gloves and etc. However i also created him in some average clothes that can be suitable for fighting such as, joggers, a vest, etc.
I had got told to try give my characters face more of a rounded of look so it doesn't just look flat, therefor i went back onto Photoshop got the blending tool and started giving his face more life and definition.
Thursday 2nd May
Today i started going over my body i had sketched up on paper and uploaded on Adobe Photoshop, i went over it using the brush tool so this way it was a clear image of the body rather than just a image of a body with a shady background of paper, and darker shades of grey in some areas rather than a clear view of the body in black and white.
Friday 3rd May
Today i continued creating clothes for my character trying to decide on the right ones that represent the look i am trying to create for him.However i had run out of wacom's to use so i couldn't continue with the Photoshop stuff to do, so i went back onto my writing side of the brief i am meant to do and i started doing the Unit 4. This took the whole lesson because it took me a while trying to understand how to do this however i understood eventually and then completed it, the only thing i have to do now on the writing side is the evaluation, which I'm going to do on the last week so i can summarise the whole project.

WEEK 3
This week i have been doing the characters face and body also, i am still continuing with the face because i was not entirely happy with the face i had done by the end of last week.
Therefor i decided to do both the body and the face this week. I have decided on the type of body i am going to give my character from the range of super hero, big evil villain, skinny but ripped, or fat, I chose the super hero body for this character.
Creating my characters face has been time consuming because i had started from scratch and chose everything uniquely, from his eyebrows to the whole shape of his entire face. This has made him my very own designed from scratch character and has given him more meaning to me and has enabled me to have created him to look exactly how i planned out for him to look.
I have finally finished and completed his whole face now on Friday the 26th April and have half completed the body, all i need to do for the body now is create his clothing to make him more unique and specific. Giving him the right clothes however is another thing that will bring him more to life and will make people recognise him and kind of have a feel for what he is about just from looking at him without knowing the type of game he is going in.
I will start designing the type of clothes he will be wearing next week, and once i have finally finished that then i will have been finished, the only thing i will have left to do after that will be to create him in a stance for the final finished concept picture that will present him for what he will be.

WEEK 2
All this week i have trying to create my characters face from scratch, i have been doing sketches of face shapes from the skull to the shape of the jaw line he will have, the kind of eyes he will have, the kind of nose he will have, and also the lips. Doing all this does take longer then expected because of the standard of drawing i am doing it all in however i am still doing it successfully.
once i have finished his standard face that is when i will be working on his scars and marks that will no dault make him more unique then he already is.
That is when i will start creating his body and clothing, that may include head gear i am still unsure because i am not at that stage yet.

WEEK 1!!!
Monday 8th April
Today we was introduced to the last project i will ever do in the college, and because of that we each got to make our own last project and create our very own project brief. I decided for the last project i would enjoy creating my very own concept art for a games character for a fighting game.
So i started creating my brief which tells me what my project is (creating concept art for a games character for a fighting game) and also says what i would like to of accomplished week by week, so this way i shouldn't be behind schedule for anything and should have everything i need done every week on time.

Once i had done all that i had started looking at different fighting styles such as...
boxing, kick boxing, kung fu, muay thai, karati, jujutsu, wing chun, tai chi chuan, judo, kendo, ninjutsu, and bare knuckle boxing...
and also had researched some artists that draw in the type of style i would like to create my games character in like...
Joe Madureira, and Aaron Mcgruder...
this style interests me and i will most likely choose to draw my character along the type of style they draw in.
Tuesday 9th April
Today i have been looking at the type of fighting styles i had researched and have been looking at how that specific fighting style requires the persons stance to be like, and from that i have been drawing on Photoshop those stances and using them as research and development for the concept art of my character i will later on create.
Thursday 11th April
Today i was researching an artist i liked because of the style of drawing he does and how he draws and how it all looks, his name is Joe Madureira. So i got some pictures of his work as research, and i also got some pictures of fighting arena's such as, boxing rings, mma rings, and wwe rings, and i also got the fighting stances i drew up last lesson and printed all of them out, including the pictures i researched and got today and stuck them all in my sketchbook. Now i have completed all of this weeks tasks i had set for myself so i am going to continue with my brief and start creating my characters face going through the design process.
