This week we focused on the character designs for our World – Sugar Prohibition. In previous weeks group members have compiled various references to help build the world and the characters that live in it, and the newer members have since added their own ideas and references. I find character design incredibly tricky but the […]

Sugar Prohibition – Group 4 We searched around the building on multiple floors, but the best colour palettes were the ones found in posters and banners. Most have vibrant and interesting colour palettes.   Complementary   Isaiah’s –   Analogous   Isaiah’s –     Monochromatic   Isaiah’s –

Watching the lecture and guides for this homework was very useful, especially when trying to convey a certain mood and atmosphere for environments. I really enjoy using colour but I feel I’m not the most adept at it, so watching videos from artists like Bob Ross and studying works of Mark Maggiori who uses bold […]

For the tonal homework, I found quite quickly that it was harder to try and create strong contrast in outside environments that are city based. I think the issue I have is also creating texture on the buildings, my alley study feels very flat compared to the inside diner concept maybe because of the more […]

This week we swapped some members of each group around again, I was moved from Group 1 (NeoNoir) to Group 4 (Sugar Prohibition). The group now includes – Ellie, Ciara, Kharis, Isaiah and myself.   During the class the members of Group 4 explained to the newer members the general style, story and ideas that […]

The second week some members of the groups got swapped, Group 1 for this week now includes Kaz, Dan, Finn and myself. This week I arranged a time for a discord meeting to narrow down our activities, discuss ideas and goals that we wanted to accomplish for the week. Before the meeting started I wrote […]

For this homework task, I really needed all the help and examples that were provided in the folder. I am not comfortable with environmental work, and perspective is something I find difficult to apply to my own personal work. Most of my screenshots that I used for practice are from Japanese films, such as Akira, […]

Original group: During last weeks class, everyone was split into groups consisting of 10 or so people. Our task was to note down 100 crazy and fun ideas about a world we wanted to create and develop, our group managed to write down about 40ish collective ideas before we were split once again. These ideas […]

Trying to narrow down 3 favourite characters to recognise shape and form in was hard. I had so many favourites all with interesting and unique methods of creating character with this design method. I finally decided I wanted to do three very different characters, a human figure (Starfire), a robotic form (Iron Giant) and an […]

Each group was given the task of taking photos or creating media related to a list of descriptions. We had to think outside the box and explore the area looking for interesting objects to fit the descriptions. This gave us the chance to get to know our classmates. Given the short amount of time we […]
