So, as I'm still waiting for my laptop after being promised it each week by the company with a delay of almost two months, I'm starting to get pretty annoyed as it is affecting my work-flow. I cannot run Maya, I cannot use my drawing tablet, as this machine is more than 8 years old. All I can pretty much do at this stage is wait, and do more research, which is going to put me behind a bit.
Research – Finished pretty much – Carried out primarily and secondary, internet, as well as going to places to cover the brief
Majority completed as of 11/11/2010 - Ongoing till machine arrives.
Initial Idea – Hyperactive young boy, particularly interested in creepy crawlies. Further research suggests that I could pretty much take this anywhere.
My initial idea in terms of personality is pretty much going to be a more random and hyperactive younger version of myself. Actual character needs to be finalised.
Character thoughts – Refine how my character is going to act, how he’s going to look, what obvious traits is he going to have besides the brief description itself.
Well, I did a couple character drawings of how this person would look (upload later) however, after a closer analysis, the character that I had come out with was in the end, just a funny looking kid. In terms of creativity, that's not that creative is it? I know, according to the schedule that I set for myself, I'm running behind, but if it means I can use the time I have now whilst I'm waiting for my laptop to arrive to refine and develop my character further, then that is something I'm going to do.
How can I actually convey hyperactivity through static poses? Amongst an obsession with creepy crawlies.
Character design – Design the actual character (drawn frontal and profile)- TBC.
Poses – Draw poses of the character – Carried out via drawing tablet. – To be completed by 13/11/2010 - Obviously missed. Problem here. I NEED to finalise my character.
