I was a bit nervous to start this assignment but I found myself really enjoying the process of making my little statue. I did find it hard to fit with the style of Genndy Tartakovski, this style of cartoony, expressive characters was really out of my comfort zone but I am happy we had so […]

Final Adjustments and Uploading to Sketchfab
The first thing I did was take a look back at my prop textures. I wanted to take a look at other types of leather to see if they looked better. I knew I wanted the leather texture as in Hotel Transylvania they do use nice bumpy textures and it adds to the interesting texture […]
Clean up Struggles
Now that my rough animation was done, I could start trying to clean it up. This was quite a daunting process to me as I have never really stepped past this stage in art, I usually sketch and move on, but I wanted to try push myself to line my animation and give it some […]
Props and Posing
Now that the Mothman was finish, it was time to finish up his props. So I started on making sure to place my books together so that I was happy with the size of them before I unwrapped (and to check the models so that I wouldn’t have the issues I had with my models […]

Unwrapping Mothman and Adding Props
I got my model checked over and asked some questions that cleared up my worries about my model to start this week. So I decided to compare the looks of my models my moving the retopo next to my sculpt. Then I started to look at my props, I new I wanted to have some […]

Reworking my Animatic and Final Preproduction
This week I aimed to finish all elements of my preproduction elements in order to get ready to start my final animation. I’m very happy that I had been keeping up with a steady workflow up to this point as I wasn’t doing great mentally so having a lot of my work done before meant […]
