Final Production Showreel

Computer Arts Honours Project Showreel - Character Revision, 2D - 3D

Digital Sketchbook

Today I have finalised a digital sketchbook for my honours project study. It turned out really well, I really like it. :)

Concept Art for Extra Characters

I have developed concept art for other characters in the original show, Ronin Warriors by applying the methodology I have formed. In this way I could know how the methodology works.

Extra character 1 - Thomas, Ryo's friend, Sky Warrior

Extra character 2 - Anubis, secret helper of Ryo.

Revised Back Stories of Ryo and Talpa

Today I have revised the back stories from previous draft versions to these formal ones.

Final Turnaround Reel of First Model - Ryo

Talpa's Revised Pose and Final Turnaround Reel

Today I have met Lynn and I showed my second model Talpa to her. Everything was good except Talpa's pose, we found it look strange. After discussion, we thought the problem might be the weight on Talpa's legs. So I am going to revise it today.

Details Sculptured, Colored-in and Textured Talpa

I have been really busy this days. Since there is very few days left before the submission day, > <... So I have to hurry up. The good thing is I have learned a lot from modeling Ryo, so the modelling phase of Talpa consumed much less time then Ryo's.

Color-in and Final look of Original Ryo

As a practice of hardsurface modeling and an exploring of transferring character from 2D to 3D. I did a model of Ryo base on its original design. It was hard to revise the character directly from the original show. I think I need preparation like concept art, model sheet, character sheet and etc.
