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.

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,...

Devil and demons - turnaround and emotions

disclaimer i lost my bag which had the rough 10 sketches as well as the poststick nots for the old lion and the fox, ive redone both but the orginals were much better I've been really enjoying these tasks that Annabeth has been setting us, this being no different. After to speaking to a few people the character that people liked the most was actually my favourite too. I has missed the lecture that this was assigned to us but there was enough information on blackboard to go off that I was lost on what to do. While doing the turnarounds I came to the unfortunate realisation that I was struggling with getting my character to look consistently like its self from different angles. I'm guessing this was the point of the task and this is one of the reason I'm loving this course because I know how much I have to progress and these tasks are shining a light on them. It's a bit sad because personally I like it and I know that's what it takes to improve but on the ...

Interaction - Maya

I don't consider myself the most creative person so coming up with an interaction wasn't the easiest thing for me, overthinking is where I tend to fall short. With that in mind I decided to have my interaction be a fairly basic concept. One block pushes another into a third block, the third block gets angry at the second and tries to push it back but the second jumps out of the way hitting the first instead. To me this was a really basic idea and not really pushing the creative parts of my brain. I have to say that I'm quite glad that I chose to this 'basic' idea. I first realised that I would have a lot to do when I was making the bar sheet, on which I messed up on the first attempt, mixing up the colours I was using to differentiate the boxes. I decided to take my time with this having started it earlier that was asked so I could put more work into the final outcome. I decided not to stray away from the idea and simplifying it further when I was h...
