Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

Finally, here are the photos of my Celebrity Maquette, Obi-Wan Kenobi. There are some finishing touches I would have to do when I get him back, but for what I was able to get done, it's not too bad. The biggest issue my prof had was mostly the thickness of the clothing in general. I should have went a little thinner on the fabric and belt. Also I missed the big poofiness of the sleeves and how they should be straight and weighted compared to my reference. Other than that, I really enjoyed making him, this would be my 3rd real attempt at creating a Maquette and he turned out leaps and bounds better than the first two. Something relaxing when sculpting, its kinda therapeutic in a way.

Straight Ahead

So, in Animation II, we spent the class looking at some animation commercials from some cool companies. The majority of the class we had to do an InClass homework assignment using the Straight Ahead Animation style. It mimics the style used to animate stop motion or puppets, we had to animate every two frames using a Rig that was provided. The requirements were to have the character jump and then point. Concepts learned was the idea of Overlapping animation, which is very important.

I just finished my assignment a min ago, here it is. It needs a lot of work, I've got problems all over the place, but we were supposed to make mistakes on this. He'll critique us next class individually. Anyways class is over now D:

Anzu's Polygon Self



So this is what I worked on earlier today. Polygony....isnt it? Today I turned in my Obi-Wan Maquette and had critique, still gotta post up photos of that. In a few hours I have to head to my 3D Rig class and see what I really need to have done. I should go sleep now... @_@

My Little Red Notebook

This is stuff I've drawn in my little red notebook I carry around with me at all times. It's mostly for when I need to jot something down because my memory is kinda bad, but I also doodle in it and lately I've been doing it a lot. I've also started to play with my Pentel Color Pen Set that I bought so many years ago and never touched til now. I've been using them on my notebook. Anywho, here's the pics!



This is Momo, Anzu's Sista. She's new D:



Drew this for Comparison between the two girls.



This was when I was planning Momo's Design out.



She will usually look like this, but occasionally look like the adult version like the first.



SNNAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEE!!!



I drew this when my Roomie was looking for a dress D:



Random girl with a random ninja!



Guuurrll and Ryu.



Anzu Action Poses, HYAH!

That's about it for now!

Tyra Bobo

So, I finished my walk cycle for my 3D Rig class last night. It was due today and here's how it turned out! Tyra Bobo! (cuz I used an old Victoria Secret Runway show with Tyra Banks as Reference)



As for other work, in Conceptual Maquette, I've started to add the folds to the pants of my Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette. I've yet to take some shots of WIP for that, but will upload soon. In my Animation II class I've just completed my 3D Emo Ball animation. I'll upload that soon too.

What I need to do now is prepare for the upcoming walk cycle assignment for Animation II, make finalized changes to my Anzu Model and build a skeleton for her in 3D Rig, and finish sculpting my Obi-Wan maquette for Conceptual Maquettes.

Also, lately I've been doodling in my little notepad often and I've been experimenting with some old markers I've had on them. I've developed a new character to add in my Anzu Universe...her sister! Gasp! Her name is Momo and will be soon revealed once I scan those pages in.

Thats about it!

Ugh...

Calling it a night for now... I'm still here at Monty but I'm not really finished with my Modeling. I had such a hard time modeling her face. Especially the Eyes, which are kinda vital to her character. It doesnt really look like the drawing and I'm just not sure how to model it correctly. This takes up a lot of time...maybe wished I did a simpler character just for Maya. I'm really tired and I need some sleep for tomorrow. I'm going to have to be back here tomorrow to finish everything I need to do for Rigging and Animation II. Meh... =\
