Here's my aims for the next few months, set out in the What? How? When? format as requested by my tutor.
What?
I plan to extend the skills that I practiced in SS1, these included trying to create a professional looking character for a video game that was relatable and accessible to all. I was pleased with how it turned out but that was a single, stand alone character. So for this project I aim to do the same but create a few characters and a landscape that all derive from the same "world". I still need to keep in mind everything I learned previously about poses and anatomy but this time i wish to get a little more experimental with my methods and take some real risks that will hopefully produce better results. I will be concentrating on tribe culture because I believe it has a rich background that spans vast time periods and all over the globe, also it is not a genre that has become stagnant and doesn't have to many stereotypes attached to it. The characters will also be having "alter egos" that have been probably drug induced from a 'coming of age' ceremony, so this will also give opportunity to get a little freaky.
How?
The main thing I want to change about this project is the approach I take to where i get my ideas from and the techniques I use to render the designs. I was all too safe in my last project and need to get my hands dirty. I will be exploring colour by using materials such as ink, pastel, paint and hopefully whatever else I can get my hands on. Also for the initial designs I will be keeping they're personalities in mind but I want the culture to truly inspire they're appearance. This project needs to be a lot more informed by research, this will be done by trips to museums and hopefully compiling vast amounts of documentary footage.
When?
Here's a tasty little plan I've thrown together for the coming months
