Progress and Targets

I have a lot of work to do over the next week... A LOT, I mean for real, I'm not bluffing, a lot.

My time plan is going to be as follows 

Today and Weekend - Finish off all of the villains and colour them up

The first layer being fully shaded, including all of the supervillains,

The second layer including the henchman, this will be just linework and purple shading,

The third will be just silhouettes, perhaps with just the eyes showing.

Next Week - Compiling the characters and background to create the villains scene, this will be about 5 seconds in length, arguably this scene will take the longest to do with regards to the artwork, altogether there will be about 12 coloured up individual villains.

After this I will begin work on the scene wherein the villains fly back off screen, again this will be just still of the villains, the mouth and eyes of the characters will move, this shouldn't take as long as only 2-3 characters will be fully coloured up, the rest will be silhouetted, the framework of the eyes and mouth will only be maybe 2-3 frames, this shouldn't take two long.

I'm concentrating on these two scenes before hand-in simply for the fact that they contain the most artwork... and these two scenes seem like they will be the most fun to make, I'd rather do the fun scenes whilst I have time and be able to do them to a high quality than rushing them right at the end.

Some More Drawings

A few pieces done on MyPaint (love this) I've been working on over the weekend, I tried mixing the cute, cartoony guys I normally do with the more detailed, sketchy style I'm also into, the background colours were just quickly improvised to show the shade. When these are fully finished they will most certainly go in my portfolio/work blog (when I start it)... these were a ton of fun to do.


Pondering little blue man, gunna improve on
him and the background.




Snotty, horrible gremlin thing, again he will be
finsihed, I'll add some ears and gnarly limbs
and the background/shading perhaps improved.

Got a few other ones on the go, some happy and angry characters, it'll just be nice to add some more illustrative work to my portfolio and blog.

Interview day, Sunderland.

So yesterday I had my first of my interviews at Sunderland University. It started with a short presentation about all of the courses included in the design area and a short tour of the facilities followed... I was very impressed with the buildings on campus and all of the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

The interview was short and sweet, the interviewer I had was very complimentary about my portfolio, she said she really liked it, she in particular liked my drawings and the way I had covered a range of different mediums, it was very nice to here.

Overall it went far better than I anticipated, the university itself gave me a really good first impression and I'm really keen on it, of course if I was to go there the travel would be very awkward.

I've also been doing some more drawings, I'll post 'em soon.

Interview...

Sunderland interview tomorrow... I'm apprehensive.


My portfolio I think is decent, obviously there's a few pages that I would like to scrap, but it's part of the development.

It's cool to see how I've progressed from being a total computer pussy who could only just about use Microsoft Paint to being able to make 3D characters in Cinema 4D.

Here's a few of the sheets from the portfolio itself:

There's about 25 pages in all, cost a fair bit to print, but the prints are very nice quality.

PRESENTATION TOMORROW!

AAAARRRGGHH!



...oh yeah and I may work on that little dude some more if I have the time
