Overall, I am happy with what I have made. I think I generally did a good job with building my character, I think I’m taking to the technical aspects of blender quite well. I went from having a very loose idea on how I would go about creating a character with good topology, and no […]

Making my Monster- Final Stretch!
Posing Adding bones to her was very easy! I again just followed the videos, and it was done super fast. I had to go back a few times and add more when certain things weren’t moving quite right, like when she moved her head, her teeth and earrings were left behind. Her arms and dress […]
Making my Monster- Texturing
UVs Part One Here is where I began to run into issues. I’m not sure what I did wrong at this stage, but it may have been that I marked the seams before projecting the UVs on to the plane I created behind my model, which I will elaborate on later. I wasn’t sure if […]
Making my Monster- Building
The Head I built the head in class, following the tutorial on Blackboard. When I did this, I still hadn’t settled on a character that I wanted to make. So, I just built a head. I was set on the idea of simply building the body all the way through and then just shaping it […]
Making my Monster- Design
Genndy Tartakovsky The first stage of this assignment, designing the model we would be making. Specifically based off of the art style of Genndy Tartakovsky, a style defined by exaggerated characteristics and distinct shapes. He very much uses clear shape language in his designs, with powerful and strong characters being more square as is seen […]
Making My Monster.
The Vampire Model. I’m going to deviate from the format my blog has followed thus far and document my entire process for this task in four posts as honestly, for this assignment I didn’t really stick to a week by week work schedule. The weeks over which we worked on this were pretty hectic for […]
Animation Studio- Reflection
At the end of our first term. Going into this course I wasn’t sure what to expect. I hadn’t taken an art related subject since before my GCSEs, so I had no idea what structured learning in such a creative and individual topic would be like. All of my knowledge and ability had come solely […]
Animaton Studio- Week 9
Animatics! Getting closer and closer to the final animation. My section starts off with a zooming panning shot of the TV show set, which is where the blender model made by Rebecca helped a lot. I drew up the background and the set, then the next section was introducing all of our characters. For the […]
Animation Studio- Week 8
Storyboarding Sadly, I missed this week’s class as I was ill. I had strived to not miss any classes this year as this course is important to me and I want to take as many opportunities as I can to learn and better myself, but my health has been up and down these past few […]
Animation Studio- Week 7
Animation! We started looking at the principles of animation this week, and did some animating of our own. We did a few bouncing ball studies, which is something I’ve seen people do before, which I found quite fun, however as I don’t have a laptop of my own I used procreate on my iPad, and […]
