Learning Agreement - v.2

I have included below a screenshot of my new learning agreement. I will be looking into how to make character concept art, and the process of starting a new specialism.

Creating a Show Reel + Final Degree Show Preparations

Image
With the degree show approaching, this blog post will cover final preparations and will also include my show reel.  Below is the show reel I have created to display my work. I ordered my final prints for my physical portfolio, while my paintings are made to display best digitally, I still wanted an option available for people should they prefer physical portfolios. I added in some basic title pages to separate each section, below is some images to give an idea of what the physical portfolio looks like. Ultimately it is just all the work in my online portfolio organised into a physical one. I also updated and tidied up my online portfolio both on my website and on ArtStation. I have included some screen captures below to show the additions of the recent projects. I now feel ready for the upcoming degree show, I will continue to do what I can to promote the event and my work in hopes people might come and take a look at it!

Further Concept Development

Image
I worked on some sketches following on from the thumbnails I did previously, I am happy with how these sketches turned out and I think I got to explore lots of ideas. It helped me establish things I didn’t like and design elements I would want to potentially take into the final concept for this character. To speed up my process, I sketched over a reference image of a person standing posed and designed the character on top of this outline. Below is a picture of the concepts, and a timelapse of the process. Next, I went through each design to see elements I liked and things I thought didn’t really work. Effectively asking “Does it look good?” and “Does it serve a function?”, generally if the answer to either of these is yes, then I find the design element has potential and might do well in a final concept. If it doesn’t make a design look good or if it doesn’t make sense, then there’s no point in taking it further.  Elements I like I circled green, elements I didn’t like I circled re...

Continuing to Develop Concepts

Image
I have spent the past few days getting back to concept work, I decided to change my workflow slightly as previously I would model a prop, then outline, colour, detail and complete. I would do this for each prop concept, completing the entire process for one prop before working on the next.  The problem with the workflow is as I am not as familiar with 3D modelling as I am painting, I would find it difficult to get used to using Blender each time, so I instead set out to model a selection of the props first before taking them into the rest of the process. I felt this worked much better, and was able to get 4 props modelled in a day, ready to move on to the next steps. Below are some screenshots of the models that I created and then would take into Procreate to finalise my concepts. The props I chose to create concepts of being a bin, coffee machine, lighting fixture and toaster. I then worked on creating outlines over the models on Procreate. Now I had some clean line-work, I could ...
