Week 7-1 Illustrations

I am having a hard time creating an environmental scene for then character. Other than being a lone traveler, and not being able to know any environments from the original game settings (Yea I know the style well enough) I just choose a setting that was in my head, using some of the concepts styles in the game. I should have something down by Thrusday and ready to add color.

There were a change of plans in the milestones, I will do one environmental scene and character scenes, as of creating character abilities and illustrating them as poses. Already thinking of the other poses. I am starting on one now, planning to create 3 by the end of the week.

Week 6 - Final Rough Done & More Character Studying on Poses

I couldn’t came to class on Tuesday as of transportation issues and a miss-carrage death in the family.

I have worked on the drawing over the break and worked out some design problems, as well got back the work I lost before the break. I remember that the silk rope have to be changed to a fur one for him to look more masculine. The shorts were redone to like more stylist and heavy and the boots are drew the same way, metal plating and a wide look.

I tried to find what kind of theme that Kingdom Hearts characters play of from other than the stylist clothing style that some later Final Fantasy characters wears. Especially the weapon designs on most characters and clothing. I am trying to adapte it into my character design; the main character is more of a Disney style with a Kingdom Hearts theme and the fire wolve is more of a realistic style as of Final Fantasy beasts or monsters. I should start drawing pose illustrations for the character after a little tuning up the final rought.

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.
