Form of a...ninja?


I coloured up the model sheets on Thursday but I kept forgetting to upload the damn things. Colour didn't seem neccessary at first but I think it gives it a little more form which can only help with the modelling.

ASYMMETRY!


Just uploading the modelsheets I've done for me and Ferhan to start modelling the characters. I still have to do the Target but I'll probably do that one once I am underway with the ninja.

Role Play

Just a quick post regarding my role in the group in the near future. So far we have all been doing concept work. I concentrated on character design and the storyboarding and pitched in a little with the prop designs mainly weapons as well as a design for the Derelict building. Pretty much everything else I was involved with was stuff we did as a group.

Over Christmas I'll mainly be focusing on modelling the Ninja and Target characters and most likely rigging them and possibly texturing them. As far as I understand things anyway. Plans change but this is what I'm looking at for now. After which I'll be doing some background animation as it's not one of my main areas and we want our main characters to look good in their movements. As for post production I'm not sure yet but Texturing I think helps fill my technical folder.

That's how things stand at the moment but I'm sure this will be revised at some point or another. Looks good for now though so Sally forth!

Update


My oh my it's been a while since I actually posted here. Been concentrating on essays and presentations the last week or so, I still have one of them to finish. Still my presentations are sorted so I'm back in the saddle. Just finished some extra panels for the animatic to make it flow better. I'm also working on some model sheets so that we can jump right into modelling those characters as that'll be my next job.

Tools of the trade



Tools and weapons for the ninja done and dusted

Shoot to thrill



Some concepts I just finished off for the Hitmans sidearm, I'll get cracking on the Ninja stuff this afternoon. the top one is my favourite at the moment, has a sort of traditional feel to it.

Armed 2 da teef



Gave up on maya for today and did these instead, more on this over at the group blog.

Gotta do about 2 pages more like this for the ninja's weapons and Hitmans sidearm.

VICTORY!

couldn't leave it alone, sussed it out no worries all is cool.

I'm probably working in the wrong freakin scale now, ah well cross that bridge later.

Since I couldn't think of anything else to really do I thought I would have little go at starting a model for the ninja so here's the character sheet. That's pretty much all I got done. I was feeling pretty good about just diving in but for some reason that is probably really obvious I can't move around my image planes at all when I load them and sometimes when I load it up it just cuts off half the image. So I can't even set up the file to actually do some work. I think it's just being a dick because I've never had this problem before. I tried restarting a few times but it ain't happening.

Sometimes I have nothing but contempt for that program. I'll see if the moody bitch thing feels up to the task tomorrow but for now I'm gonna work on an essay or something.

Swirly



Spent the morning drawing some stuff and scanning some shizz (for work and my own stuff), I was briefly trapped in a whirlpool of self deprication (two words that I have used more than my short life warrants) but I managed to swim against the tide and sort out an image I needed to do for Sam's movie poster.

Well they say that it's the sign of a true artist when your never happy with anything you draw so lets go with that for now.
