Video from first session?

Hey Craig

Any news of when the video from the first session will be ready. I would find it helpful to review what was covered before I finalize my homework for this week?

Can you please post a breakdown or list of the topics covered and what we need to show in our homework?


Thanks

Medusa layout into 3rds

I have settled on my most recent designs to develop for Wednesday

For the 4th version I rearranged elements to hopefully convey foreground, mid and background.

here are the roughs so far.

Crittor Link

Not sure what to do with the sky, if anything.


Re-did the layout of #5.   Crittor link

2 more makes 5 medusa comp's..

Hey Craig,  Alex, Brandon, and Deborah.

Here is two more creature compositions of Medusa. I think these are getting closer to visualizing a terrifying yet cursed and lonesome character.

I am open to suggestions and welcome what ever feedback anyone might have. To make that easier, I have included Crittor links for anyone who feels up to drawing over the images.

Now I need to decide what one or two to go with, clean up, add some value and so on for next Wednesday!

 

Medusa shooting her bow. I may experiment with the idea of replacing her limbs with mechanical ones.

Here are some ideas I'm working with some of my ideas are more ideas are little more detail then others. The two composition I like are the last two, which are the skeleton zombie Mr. Smith and the creature like woman, if any one of you have any feed back, please assist so that my composition can be stronger.   

APE 2014?

Hey Craig


Are you going to do a demo at APE 2014 on October 4th or 5th?

Cheers

Hey Craig,  Alex, Brandon, and Deborah.

I am working my way though creature and compositions and have setting mainly on a medusa for now. By using the compositions I created in-class as inspiration I have made three ideas so far, posted below. I am still trying to capture more of a terrifying yet cursed and lonesome character.

I am open to suggestions and welcome what ever feedback anyone might have.

IDEA #1 "8" composition

IDEA #2 "0" composition 

IDEA #3 "8" composition

I feel ,as I work through them, I seem get better results. I may also try less snakes on the head to also help with the composition, plus I am searching for ideas to make it less "sexy female" and more "terror creature". I still need to come up with some sort of narrative for each.

2 or 3 more to go!

Cheers
