Monday Update

It's the final week!
And I am pretty confident in the fact I seem to have completed all my practical work.

This morning I have planned out my Portfolio ready to print.
Also planned my Show Reel ready to edit all together.

I have also started writing up all my live briefs, done all the evaluations for them, I just need to find the briefs for 2 of them to either copy and paste, or just rewrite, but either way I need to make sure they are right.

I need to also re find where I saved my Proposal and Treatment for my main animation and print them out, or I may need to rewrite it as I may have just made them in presentation form.
My script also needs to be finished, I still only have my first scene written out.
Im going to take photos of my story boards, because they are A3 and I don't want to hand in the originals. So I will print them out in A4 so everything can go into 1 File.

Last of all is the PPD writing and research which I will try and get most of done this afternoon.

Then that's it!

CV needs to be printed out
and Business cards should, at the latest, come on Wednesday, if not today.

Friday Roundup

Well I have finished my CV and have ordered my Business Cards, which will hopefully get here next week.
I also been digitally drawing, hoping I can have more for my portfolio.
But after 4 hours I really hate it.
1 hour spent on the left eye

This failing has put me in a bad mood, and the colleges internet isn't helping...

Gonna start drawing something else now.

Next week is all about the writing side of my projects.

Business Cards 2

I've stuck with the Loki one, but I've been trying to think of another few designs I could do.
My tutor wanted me to try and tie it in with my CV, which is a comic book, but nothing I tried seemed to work. I will however be trying to do some via actually using comic pages I have made using random scenes of stories I have created while at college.

But for now, here are the 2 designs I did today.

 This one I have redesigned a bit, (added more people)
 but as my tutor pointed out with how small the BC is going to be the faces are going to be really small
So I may try doing it again but with only about 6-7 people.

This one I will definitely be using.

So this with be my main one and will get 250 of these.














Should have blurred out my number... (will do that later)
But I will hopefully not be using this on anyway.
I want to see if we have any sim cards lying round the house (because we have so many mobiles) and use another phone for like commissions.
Just because I never hardly ever answer my phone when I don't know the number.

Project Green Screen

So even though I can't officially enter it, this is my monster design for the competition.

I am rather happy with the design.

I tried to do a more mutated monster, but I really can't, so I stuck with the humanoid structure, but over exaggerated aspects and made my kinda like a lizard creature.

Only think I don't like is the plain square head in the front view, seems too simple. So I may try and redo that, even if it is only slightly, just to give it a bit more depth in the design. It's okay for the size guide though.

Part of me is quite happy to not properly enter it, I like the character, and not that I could have a chance at winning, but I still like being able to keep him for myself.

It's not everyday I design characters like this (I think all together I have 3 other non-human characters) so was good fun to do something different.

Monday Update

This week I'm concentrating on getting my CV/ Business Cards and my work based projects.

So I need to find out how I'm meant to write about the live briefs/ competitions I've done...
I submitting my rotoscoped Music Video I posted on here last year, because it's a competition and I haven't submitted it for any other project.
I've also done a character sheet type thing for the Project Green Screen thing. Which has actually finished/ not accepting any more entries, but I did it anyway.
And will be using the 2073 ident I made for my tutor.

So that's work based.

I want  my tutor(s) to check my business cards to make sure they are okay, so I can order them.
And I've pretty much done the back page of my CV, and I have done a rough version of the front, so will finish that off soon too.

Just got given a checklist for PPD as well today.
I've looked over it and apparently I need to research universities even though I have no plan/ interest in going to any. Which is annoying.
Not looking forward to having to do any research in general.

Business Card Ideas

So i've decided how I'm going to do my Business card.
It's going to have one of my portraits on the back.

Some designs:

I will be probably using more than just the one design (most likely these 2 and maybe 1/2 more).

But for the front/ my details I will do them in the same style as how I have done the top one.

But hand drawn, this was just quickly done to get the idea.

So if i need the same front, I may change the Loki one so it matches.

Monday Update

Well we are back in college now for the final 3 weeks!
Over the Holidays I did do the painting I had been planning, but no college work.
It was a nice break but now I feel I need to sort out a new time plan and what it is I need exactly to pass this course.
My minds still asleep at the moment so I can't think straight.
I'm pretty sure I have everything in  control.
I'll try and list what I HAVE done... that might be easier.

I've done my model test, with a paper model not a card one.... and I'm kinda wanting to leave it at that, but if I have plenty of free time I will  redo it.
I've kinda got a work based working thing, I'm using something we did in class, given to us by our tutor.
I've got my storyboards done, and the start of a script but not one for the whole story.
Portfoliooo.... um.... Well I have a few things for it. That's a whole other plan I need to do.
Same goes for a showreel.

So next lists. Portfolio and Showreel.
Portfolio first;
I have plenty of portraits drawn/ painted to put in.
I can put in model sheets for characters (I want to create one for my newest character; maybe 2).
What else do you put in?
No  idea.

Showreel.
I  may put something in I did last year (XYZ animation) as an example of a animatic, because it looks goo as that, not so much as a proper animation.
Will have my Lock animation in.
My group rotoscope work (2 animations of group, one 2 second thing I did as a test).
My Big Bang MV cover.
And my stop motion model test (need to finish that  one)

Oh that's something else to put in portfolio, making the stop motion model and other sculpts I have done.

And also! Just remembered; need to finish off my CV and do a proper design for some business cards (I already have an idea in mind).

Well that's all I can think of now.

Will try and post work I did over the 2 week holiday on here as soon as I properly finish it.

I think you can see my mind slowly waking up during writing this.

Painting Practice

I was challenged to paint without using any initial sketch lines by a friend. I was going to paint a portrait everyday for a week, but was too busy doing another painting. I'v finished the main part of said painting though, so decided to give this a go.

I also recorded it so enjoy! (I apologise in advance for the fact my hand is in the way for a bit of this.)

I  have fixed it a bit since finishing this, and will be going into more detail, but wont record anymore.
