WEEK 5-2

A bad thing just happend, I just lost all the work I did on Tuesday with the character model. The software I was using just compressed the tiff file I was using, so everything that wasn't visible got deleted and what it left my with was the templete model. This had to happend on the FIFTH WEEK, so I got nothing to show on midterm but can recover everything very quickly as all the things that were lose were the clothing the facial details of the character. So in other side, from appearance I had to restart mid-way (all though I know what to create, and starting over I can improve in it (the concept can use some redoneing anyway)).

WEEK 5 - 1

I just made the changes of the character model, and start to begin with the side characters and other asstes and work on the environment settings over the break. The character has a flaming red fur like material scarp, with black and redish purple pants, with a flaming wolve. All I have to do now is create an "Front View" of the character and everything should be set for the break. I do not plan to digitally paint the character until the break, as I will have much time to try new things with Photoshop.

Week 4 - Building the Final Rough

I have created the asstes as of clothing for the character design. The character main clothing is that of style short pants, a long scrap cap around the body, and symbol tattoos on the right arm and chest on the body that calls on the fire beast, and others minor asstes. I put a silk scarp on the character and made look like a fire silk, but I was told by my bother who was critiquing my work that "you just don't put silk on men" and "create more muscle tone in the arms and chest". He said make a fur scrap and don't cover the chest area to show more masculine (he a red mage warror).

I plan to create an fire scrap (flaming fur, yet I don't know yet (thumbs)) and tattoos that will be on the fire wolve (I don't if its going to be a wolf or lion-like beast, I might use something other than tattoos, but I would like to have something resembling something together with the main character and the fire wolve). By the end of week 5, I will have a "Front View" "Profile" and "Back View" of the character, as well as the fire wolve (I will look for a similar name for the mythology race of a fire or mystic creature as a wolve or four legged animal). Depending on the time, I may have to create the creature over christmas break.

Week 3 - Concept planning & thumbnails

I have a ideal of what the character image is going to look like as well as the clothing and gear. I wanted the create a character that would fit within the world. The design of the character was drawn out and on the next week, a overall character design is going to be worked out by week 5, so all I have to do is put together the character and draw a overall rought drawing.

Little minor things are being worked out, things should be on texts.

Week 2 - Ideal Gethering

On the second week I looked up references on the model of the character. Wondering on of the overall concept of the character and whats on the character concepts; How this character going to fit in the Kingdom Heart/Final Fanstasy World, what are some themes to work with, and what world environment or background from where the character is going to take place.

The character concept document for will be finish as a guide to develop the illustrations.

Week 1

One the first day, I was thinking of a concept art style to work for a character. I already though of what kind of character to do, but I need to use a drawing style to work from. I wanted to do a drawing that is between realism and deformity cartoony drawings. I chose Disney as a drawing style, but I wanted to create an action character that would be as if its going to be in a game setting.

I will create a short side story and assets for the characters as well as an partern to travel with. I don't know what I want the partern to be (its going to be ether an wolve/bear character or three creature from Akkadian Mythology.

So the overall objective is to design an character concept with enough detail information like story background, assets on gear and accessories. Give over detail about what are the concepts and start doing thumbnails on the concepts.
