BSA 225

Dabbled in modeling using three views and working on it and what not from all the angles.

Note:

Remember to keep things clean, if you are working with an unsymmetrical images, just model from one side and duplicate the movements onto the other, thus maintaining symmetry.

'the Men on the Mountain'

With this one, I went at it with values in mind, trying to figure out where there is too much black or two much white. Its an aspect of drawing I genuinely struggle with, I really am only just beginning to understand it.

Things I need to practice predominately:

1. Anatomy (specifically faces...hence the helmet)
2. Values

Man and God

Brad and I collaborated on this one, I did the right and asked him to do something on the left.

Character Silhouettes:

These are some non related character silhouettes, just playing around with the idea of essentially scribbling on the page and looking for cool designs. My favorite designs are colored blue, if I were to hypothetically develop on any of the designs it would be one of these.

Animation Treatment:

Burti is a small baby bird who finds himself hatched into an empty nest bundled beneath a stone out crop on the desert floor. Egg shells are scattered all around him and the nest. Burti looks around in search of his mother. But he sees nothing on the flat desert planes except for a single ironic tumble weed, tumbling on its way. Burti is not a smart bird; he chases the tumble weed mistaking it for his mother.

                Burti’s stomach rumbles, he is hungry, and right there and then they pass by a small flower. Burti immediately runs over to drink its nectar, and soon after, spits it all out. Burti does not like the nectar of this flower, so he turns it down.

But Burti is even hungrier now, fortunately they pass another lonesome flower, Burti hops over and sniffs the flower, Burti is picky, he does not like the smell of this flower, and leaves it with a dismissive shrug. Now Burti is really hungry, and after walking for some time, they come in contact with another flower, an ugly flower.

Burti is dismayed, how could his dear mother Tumbleweed think that he would stoop to such meager standards, Burti doesn’t even give this one a sniff or a taste. They continue onward, but Burti does need to eat soon or it will all be for nothing, Burti is getting sad, will he ever find the right flower.

 Burti bumps into something, it’s his mother, and she has stopped. They’re at a standstill at the base of an enormous cliff, stretching far beyond site to either side. Burti’s mother can go no further and she is acting weird, roots burst from her under side and plant themselves into the soil, Burti is taken aback. A single shoot, sprouts up into the air from the top of Burti’s mother, a small bud at its end.

It blossoms, into a glorious flower! Burti is amazed, he is saved; he extends his yet underutilized wings and takes to the air, and drinks the nectar off the gods from the flower, its perfect. CHOMP, the flower closes in an instant around the bird, and slowly lowers down into the plant.

End.

Initial silhouettes:

I worked through some designs and got to the round grey tone version, unfortunately this design would prove to be to complex when it came to rigging.  So i went through some further iterations and got to the bottom middle design, which should equate to a simpler, smoother rig, and therefor easier to animate.
