The monster called Itani

Had a lot of difficulty making him look the same from different angles, Indya was taking the piss of how slow I work but I think they look good

The area i had most difficulty was wirh side view. I couldnt draw it from the full side and have it look like the character still. What ended up happening was that i sraw a side/ 3/4 veiw.

Emotions were more fun, Ive always preferred drawing faces and expressions.

The challenge I had with this was face was a skull and a skull can't really emote.

I decided to add eyebrows so it was a bit of cheat. A big feature of the character is the eyes so I think emphasizing them will only add the strength of the character. The character already had a lot of personality but adding emotions and body language add so much more personality I was surprised.

I did a really simple colour way for him, i think the green suits him the most as it gives off a smelly and foul vibe, which is what i was intending. The rest didn't really stand out to me but i felt like the poses in which he was in really matched the colour i chose. ( red paint me like one of your french girls)

Building the maquette was an enjoyable process also. I came in late and had to work away from other people, and i think that helped in my production and i was just jamming out to some music.

I build the maqette from wire which wasn't as malleable as i thought, but it gave a really solid foundation for the skull. The body was fattened by scrunched up masking tape with clay over the top. It was fun to make but i wasn't really that good at it but i think if i gave it another go it would come out better. Annnabeth also suggested using real hair on top of the maqette and that kinda grossed me out a little.

Creative play with digital media students

The day began in the maker space, along with the digital media students. The digital media tutor called Mark explained to us that we were going to be placed randomly selected groups and make a tower only using paper and no other materials. My team was nice however they were quite quiet, me and Decland tried to lead the conversation and get everyone talking and sharing, they opened up a but but even by the end of the day some members of the group weren't really talking. The first task was building the tallest tower using only paper and no other materials and at the top of the tower an egg for fifteen seconds. I felt like only half of our group were trying to work quickly and because we were working at a slightly slower pace to other groups it hindered the potential of the final product. As a team we decided that it was best to have the egg protected so it wouldn't die. With our team being number one we were made to present first, and then we were told it would be measured f...

Belbin - Making of

Belbin roles - Making a balanced team Going into this session, I still hadn't decided on which group i want to join but Annabeth said it should be decided by the end of this session. I had offers from a few groups but decided to join up with Jolanta, Elena and Alisha as i knew i wanted to another attempt at a 2-D group project and i felt like this team had good chemistry and was full of talented artists. Annabeth explained Belbin roles to us and how these 9 personalities make a strong balanced team. When going through the Belbin roles i found that these four applied best to me; Monitor Evaluator - I feel this suits me well as i know that the critical side of my brain is over developed and have always thought i had sound judgement when it came to decision making. Working very slowly resonated too deeply and is something I'm trying to work on. Team Worker - I feel that my social relation when working in a group is always good,...

Where is the group??

Since the group got divided, the groups harmony has just been non existent. I know Poli and Maddy are waiting to the animation but I find it really frustrating that they're not being involved in helping create the scenes. If Indya had her way we would of scrapped that they wanted, which was Maddy's dog and Polis positive message. I've been trying to come up with a way that we could get the dog involved in the actual animation, and my initial idea was that the homeless dude spends his money on his friends; a pack of dogs. This was inspired by the story of Dobri Drobrev Indya wasn't too pleased with idea and wanted something more hard hitting. So I then suggested the idea of 'hats for the homeless' in which the character spends his money on hats for other homeless people, this idea was inspired by the subway campaign of trading in gloves for a free sub. Again Indya wasn't too pleased with the idea so we were in a bit of a block. After s...
