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.
