Havent been posting for a while due to working on the head of skye. I have her mostly modelled I just need to finish the back of the hair and give the hair a bit more volume whilst I may need to redo the mouth as its looking rather wide and looking like a beak at the moment. I will hopefully have this finished by tomorrow giving me time to model the body over the weekend.
After speaking with Alan and feedback from Phil I have decided to change my location of my digital set to San Francisco as it's got the feel that I want with the European architecture but with an American feel to it as I want my character to belong within the world that she is in, this also has a more normal feel to it like Phil suggested.
I have decided that I want to model Skye out of clay as part of improving on my 3D skills and understanding the character in three dimensions. I believe this will help me with the modelling and understanding of my character whilst giving me something fun to show at New Designers next year. I will post progress as I go throughout the year and if it all goes to plan I might be able to get another done leading up to the show
Modelling on the way with the character :), I've managed to block her out get the basic forms of the geometry working. I haven't yet discovered where her eyes are going to be as she has rather large almond eyes which seem to be a bit tricky to deal with, but overall she's on the way! Whilst on the other hand I am currently on going another challenge which is all new to me - modelling her traditionally out of clay
Here I have updated the street scene taking away the centre building as this was suppose to be a normal town but I like the characterful buildings.
As I'm currently in the early stages of modelling the character I have decided to focus some time on the environment too. These are more for modelling and production art rather than concept as I don't want the bold line within my scenes. Whilst working on this Photoshop did crash so I cant change the red light unfortunately but I might change it a later date. I wanted the autumn feel to it with the leaves falling off and the warm autumn feel to it. Also I am thinking of having fences opposite the houses or keep them as town houses im a bit unsure about that at the moment.
