3D Week 6 - Final Sculpt

This week we finished the sculpt completely with wood and metal detail.

2D Composition - Drew Struzan

This week we are to examine composition from the artist Drew Struzan. I liked his Return to Oz poster because it has such vibrant colors and it has two different types of composition. Circular and Iconic.

3D Week 5 - Zbrush Sculpting

This week we began sculpting the Hi Res of the cannon proxy in Zbrush.

2D Week 4 - Value

Here I created values from a sketch from Frank Frazetta. This was to practice values but we also used a workflow and color theory from Valve's DOTA designs. One of the things Valve does with it's characters is to create a Value Gradient. A Value Gradient is used to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality to their characters. The value should shift from darkest at the feet to the lightest at their upper body and head. This makes their characters more visually pleasing and it helps players see their characters more easily.

2D Week 4 - Frank Frazetta

This week we are examining the work of Frank Frazetta and practicing values.

3D Week 4 - Cannon Proxy Hi Res

This week we UVd our cannon proxy and made a Hi Res for Zbrush

2D Week 3 - Brian Froud Silhouettes

These are character silhouettes inspired by the work of Brian Froud.

I really like how he mixes amphibian and insect like body types to his woodland creatures so I decided to emphasize that in these iterations.

I picked this sketch since it has both the insect look and fairy like wings.

I used the image as a reference for it's silhouette and made some new character silhouettes using designs found among his other pieces.
