Week 9 Silhouettes and MoodBoards

2D Bring it All Together 2

Moving the Cannon into UE4

Industry reviews are over and we still have something due that night! Either way, I actually am really satisfied to see my baby cannon in the engine with its textures and maps

Here is my material map:

And here is a close up of the cannon with a figure to scale.

Week 7 Assignment 2D Bring it All Together

Today, I focused on making the first draft of the environment. I wanted to go with a Poster like illustration and went for something similar to Jaws. Here I played with composition and palette. 

Here is a character placement:

Week07 3d Assignment Canon

For this week's assignment, we were to take our high poly sculpt and bake it into our low poly model. 

Here is the high poly sculpt:

And this is what the low poly model:

In Substance painter, after baking the high poly into the low poly model, I look a few smart materials, such as Iron Raw and started to brush grundge and dirt for more detail.

I played around with the blend mode of the layers and coloring and came to this painted steel canon.

2D Class Week 07 Call of Cthulhu

For the next assignment, I will be making a concept as well as world building on the HP Lovecraft story : Call of Cthulhu and the exploration of Alice in Wonderland.
I wanted to give it a children's nightmare horror twist in a sense of creepy cute.

For characters, my style choice I wanted to go with simple small character designs with a saturated palette, similar to Earthbound, Little Nightmares, Splatoon, or even Windwaker.  Something friendly and round, with vivid colors.





Environment wise, I want to go with a eerie atmosphere, similar to Bioshock (specifically with the underwater theme), We happy Few, and Stranger Things. However, to keep the style consistent, I want to have interesting, asymmetrical, and wonky shapes like Little Nightmares. I want the environment to be physically giant and overwhelming.

2D Week 07 Lighting

For this week's assignment, we were to recreate a photograph of a toy and try to practice lighting. I removed colors, just so I could understand better how light is hitting the figure. Here is my painting:

 And this is the original image.
