WEEK 6

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.
