Week 8, Year 2 Square circle and triangle

So this Monday was the hand in for the sentry gun and over the weekend I got some nice renders of the gun and also made the light bubbles to work on the barrel and the top of the pitch

But the very next day we were into the next project dynamic characters project. I have to design 2 characters that are different from each other but they would still work together. There is a lot of freedom to this project. We can go with any theme and can do realistic or stylized. I like the idea for so much freedom it means I go with something I want to do.

I had to get an idea ready by the end of the week and do a presentation. I’ve not really done a solo presentation in a long time and the last time I did one it did not go bad but not great. The first think I decided was to do something stylized. After last year and so far this year I have done too much realistic and I could use with a bit of a change. I also really like the idea of cyber punk. So that’s where I start looking up stuff.

When I was making my moodboard of cyber punk and old rock puck I came across and image of this rock punk guys sitting next to an old lady. When I was thinking about it more, it just sounded like a cool idea, the mean punk kid that like no one but his grandmother who was the sweetest person ever and love everyone.

you can see the image of the guy and the old lady in the bottom middle

Something we look at over the week was the use of shapes and how they are used in a character. You can see this mostly used in good vs. evil cartoons. The big strong hero mostly made out of squares and the super bad villain all shapes in his body and face you will see are all tringles. So how to use this in my work, seeing how I got a want to be bad boy I will try and use just squares and triangles and for the grandmother just try and use round shapes.

I make the heads a bit like a bash kit but only using Square circle and triangle.
The once with the red rings are once I like most.

I draw over the black Silhouette,
just to see what they could look like and then pick one.

This is incomplete drawing of what my characters could of look like. 

This time I felt it went really bad. I don’t know what happened but started to find it hard to talk and my whole body was shaking. I really was thinking I was about to pass out. I did not think I would be that bad but still I got very good feedback on my work. I was told that they could not really see the dynamic between them and I should go back to my first moodboard and try and start from there again.

 This week it well started off slow but ok until the presentation, after that I know next I need to be more ready and just prates before. I think that will help me a lot better for my next presentation I have to do.
