Art Fundamentals - Exercise 7


Concept Sketches



For this exercise I had to draw many thumbnails sketches of my environment object/asset.
I have selected two thumbnails to talk about on the topic of derelict city and two on the topic of toxic jungle.


Thumbnail 1 - Derelict City

 This first image for derelict city is one of my favourites because it shows deep rends in the structure of the building on the left side and the collapsed road in the centre foreground creating a deep foreboding abyss which is always good for any horror movie or challenging game.

Thumbnail 2 - Derelict City

 The second image in the derelict city class is a good example due to the plant having climbed to the very top of the building and gives the impression that many creepers are winding their way inside wrecking concrete and masonry in their attempt to expand.


Thumbnail 1 - Toxic Jungle
The first image I chose in the toxic jungle class was this of a two headed snake and giant spider, I think this is a good example whereby a snake will have a head at each end for eating which obviously makes it twice as deadly and able to see from different perspectives at the same time.
The huge spider above the snake gives you some idea that things are really out of control as spiders are normally much smaller than snakes.

Thumbnail 2 - Toxic Jungle

 The second image in the toxic jungle class was a favourite of mine because I like animals and I just had to put a cute animal in there somewhere, however....... THIS monkey has horns and who knows what else, it has obviously been mutated by the toxicity of the jungle and no one knows what abilities it may have.

 Below you can see the rest of the sketches which although look good, are not quite as fitting for what I had intended.

Maya - Modelling Mjolnir (Thor's hammer)

Image
Mjolnir SUMMARY This model was fascinating to do because it involved using many different tools which took a lot of time researching on the internet. This was a very time consuming project not only because there was a lot to learn and a lot to do, but also because I decided to use a drawing program to create the curves for the ornament details. I found this technique on the internet whereby I could draw curves in a drawing program such as Photoshop or CorelDraw and then export them as EPS (encapsulated postscript) file. This was easier than trying to model the curves directly in Maya. However, I obviously had to install the drawing program and to do that I also had to upgrade my internet explorer and to do that...............(Further, I wish I had found out earlier that I could have used Photoshop to create EPS Files as then I would not have had to install CorelDraw and learn a bit of that because I already know Photoshop a little - Grrr!). In total with the reinstallin...

Animation Skills - Exercise 4

Image
Walk Animation For this week's assignment we were asked to produce an animation of  a character walking. Obviously to be able to produce any animation, one has to understand the mechanics involved in the actual event we are trying to animate, be it a living being or a mechanical object. Studying a character we can see that the legs have hip, knee and ankle joints to facilitate movement. The animation starts from the hip joint, followed by the knee joint and finally the ankle joint to move the legs in opposition one leg after another. In addition to the legs moving, the arms do similarly alternating in opposition to each leg. I therefore created approximately 10 drawings in different stages of the cycle showing mostly the hip joint and shoulder joint movement with some movement of  elbow, knee and ankle. These 10 images were drawn in Adobe Animate and a complete cycle was created with a key frame for each image. In addition one of the mechanics of walking ...
