Chosen Sketch

These are the final sketches to be chosen from the 200 doodles we have done. Hmmmmmm

Sketch Silhouette + Doodles

Have to post those sketches of my work! Haha, sooo much work has been done these past weeks.. Ahhh, so tired...

Main idea : making characters out of the doodles we did. here is the starting process of what I was working on. I saw more stuff in my silhouettes then doodles.... Ehhh that okay.

Hero Mech Props

For our next project we are making a "Hero prop" which has to be mechanical and have some kind of movement and splines.

Here are my ideas for the props:  (( Im retyping all the sketches and giving more info))

1. Airhead- "Standard pilot helmet w/ flying contraction"  -- To make this make sense quickly- Think Inspector Gadget's hat. Go-go gadget helicopter hat.

2. TentaCape- "Basics of a cape but using wires instead of fabric. Like Dr. Oc from Spiderman but cape version"   --  Its a protective cape that expands into wires and attack

3. SnakeWrap- "Seemingly pretty decor bracelet, but weapon of venom."   -- A "semi-alive" mech bracelet that slivers alive and bites and injects venom.

4. Stalker- "robo-animal that follows & protects the hero."  -- A mech slave essentially. 

5. Hecate II- "basic military gun"   -- A real french gun that they dont make anymore.

6. Spear- "standardize extension spear. Grows longer & more deadly"   -- I personally love spears, man. Love them. To get that extension look, I was looking at The Mummy Returns spear of osiris

7. Fire Bird Cage- "A flame lantern w/ designs of a bird cage. If & when opened, a fire shaped like a bird attacks."    --   An oil lamp with a structure of a bird cage. Wings block the fire like a door. When opened its like a fire explosion.

8. Hover Sole- "hovering shoes. Jump far for a brighter future!"  --  Hover shoes... what more to say? Its like a trampoline on your feet.

9. IJ Whip- "a whip that can extend & poke out"  A mech whip that can extend/break apart and cause more damage that a regular leather whip. This can dig into your flesh and tear at bones.

10. Multi Round- "a spherical grenade that opens & fires small shots before exploding"   --   A basic concept for a grenade but it opens in the middle and shots out mini bullets before rolling away a few seconds then exploding.

Silhouettes and Doodles

Homework we had to do was to create 100 silhouettes and 50 doodles/scribbles. It took much longer then I originally though honestly, haha. Doodles not so much. Although I did have to keep going back for a few.

Now we have to make actually drawings with them. Making something from silhouettes essentially, but that will be fun. I actually love finding things in textures and such. And in truth we are doing the same thing but with textures for our next hw assignment.

I got the 50 textures but I still havent done any of the drawings for any just yet. Still doing other hw assignments!

Photography hw coming next hopefully!

TF2 CTF Well

Another assignment that we have to do is to make a presentation of a first person shooter game and define the map and theme. I went with Team Fortress 2 Capture the Flag Well map.

The top photo is the rocket in the back of each base. The middle photo is the building for the Red Team base and the last photo is the base for the Blue Team. What I find funny about these maps are the "hidden" glitches and such about. While roaming around this map I happened to find myself in another plane far from the original map. I didnt take a screen cap but I still thought it was funny how they left that little piece there. Why?

Anyway; here is a little legend map overview of the Well Map.

Biome

Another year is here and so begins the trails to survive.....

For one of the first projects we are going to make a evocative biome. That essentially means making an environment that has an emotion. We can choose whatever kind of environment and create what we want but we have to make that area evoke an emotion.
For my idea, I want to make a photo from a wonderful photographer I've been following for years now, come to life. Its a slight swampy look but its actually a forest like scape.

^ These photos are taken from Mount Auburn cemetery in MA. I just love how everything comes together and that sunlight that comes through is just beautiful.

Although for my theme I wish to portray fear or suspense. I'll be changing the light to blue hues and casting more night time light. 

Right now we are just getting reference so I'll be posting more ref for textures and such later on.
