A new project begins!
A new semester, a new project! Currently, I am tasked with creating an original 3D character, with some guidelines I need to follow in terms of 3D style, character class and also an emote, which I will most likely animate after I finish modelling!
Research!
Before getting into the design process, I need to concept and think about possible reference for my concept. For this project, there is a specific set of themes of which I need to follow for my 3D Character:
I have decided to pick the Skylander’s IP, with a Happy Wave emote, and the Royalty/leader class. Following this decision, came the brainstorming and sketching process for my character!
Sketches!
With my character concept, I really wanted to push the idea of having my character have really un-natural proportions, and really want to push that idea, as I feel it can be used to make a really unique idea, as well as push the limits of my rigging capabilities. At the same time, it fits really well with the Skylanders theme. I picked Royalty as my class as I would like to see what a unique character or figure would look like but with traditional royalty design.
