SteamPunk Character



STEAM PUNK CHARACTER

For this assignment, I had to design a Steam Punk character.

Here I researched all to do with Steam Punk:


Final Sketch Design:


Face Design:

I started to contour a face by researching contouring and I applied that to my design





Finished Results of Her Face:

I added this robotic mouth because she cannot speak and the only way of speaking is by her facial expressions and emotions.



Here is the Block In design for My Character:



I finally added the cogs and wheels in her neck and her stomach because this is what controls her body and how this robot actually functions.




Final Design:


In conclusion, this assignment went really well for me because I really researched into Steam Punk and decided to give her a human but android robot face. I really liked the colour scheme to, it defiantly represents Steam Punk. I left her hands and feet open and plain because I wanted to direct the persons eye to her stomach and the cog designs. Overall, I am very pleased with my design.

3D Rendering Tank - Paint Over Technique


OUT OF SPACE TANK

In class, we had a pre modelled rendered Tank and we had to use the Skew and Rotate technique to match the curves of the Tank. We also had to add a nice logo!


BEFORE:

I just got a metal texture, I then skewed and rotated the texture to fit the angle of the tank. I then added a nice blue logo to compliment the tank and make it more interesting.


AFTER:

I added a galaxy background to my 3D rendered tank so that it looks like a tank in space. I also added the MONSTER INC text because it complimented the background and the space tank.


In conclusion, to create this design I did not know how to skew a texture onto the tank and after trying it out I now understand that it is a useful technique to make your drawing more realistic and 3D.

Anthropomorphic Creature Design


 Anthropomorphic Creature


For this assignment, I had to create an Anthropomorphic creature. I started to research some cool frogs and developed this mood board.


 I started from doing a Basic Outline of the whole Creature and gave him some cool pants and some rocker hairstyle! 


I then started to use one of the skin texture from my Moodboard and applied it to my creature.



I gradually started to colour him in and he started to develop into a 90s Rocker Creature which looks pretty cool.


Finished design!

I designed my creature by adding normal human clothes like the Black sweater because I wanted to give it more of a Human look. I also gave him some cool pockets that complimented his style.I had to add a brown hairy moustache because It started to give the whole creature a cool rocker style. His hands have a built in emblem so the person who created this creature knows its location at all times!



In conclusion, this creature design was pretty interesting because I had to find some sort of characteristics to implement into my human frog. In the end, I just went with the idea of a rocker 90s style because when I started to use the texture for the hair I thought it looked really cool and complimented the whole idea well.

Isometric Pixel Art

For this assignment, we had to design our own creature using the principles of pixel art. So instead of using the Brush Tool we had to change it to the Pencil Tool to crate these 1 pixel box design.



Here is my little Gandolf Smurf with a beautiful blue beard!



Gandolf Smurf Zoomed in with Swatches:







Can you find my Smurf? - Einstein Patent Office! 




Using Value for Form


In class we got taught how to change the Value for form. This means using value to create the illusion of 3D form in a 2D image.







Here is the final design once all the principles are applied.

Tentacles!

In this assignment, we have to design a creature made out of tentacles. Here is my mood board of tentacle creatures and ideas from my research.



Here are a few sketches and ideas:








This is my final design, for my Tentacle creature. I really like the combination of colors on the tentacles makes it look more realistic and gives it a 3D affect. However, it would be better if i added more detail to the hair but I wanted it to be more foggy and mystical.
