The BESP: Character Development

As a part of my sketchbook referral I chose to work on one of my characters the BESP. This is a unfinished concept sketch. I have to come back when I have time to complete the pelcvic wings and the rest of the spine.

 

 

 Using the reference material I made a mock up collage of the complete character and its Pelvic wings basic motion. Excuse the penis, I've decided to remove it and to double up the sacrum as one. Which will be Horrible!

 

 

After this I realised I should be focusing on post production so I decided to start modelling this freaky thing.

 

Lumbar Vertibrae

 

Thoracic Vertibrae

 

Cervical Vertibrae

 

The Sacrum/Penis

 

Pelvis/Pelvic Wings

 

 

BESP so far.

 

 

 

 

I wanted to achieve near anatmomical perfection, this very far from that. Very good modelling pratice though. Next will be tweeking the spine so all the vertibrae sit better with each other, which will include making soft discs to fit inbetween each one. Customizing the spine so it has a spined back. Eyes and Brain(not looking forward to this). Then the rigging which is why I wanted to start modelling. I really want to rig the brain so I can get emotion from throbbing cortexes and squishing.

Still work in progress.

Experimental Referral

For the experimental project I had to redo the three experimental pieces that led to the main piece. The first two were redos of my originals which were lost but were still nothing very exciting. The first was pretty limited as I couldnt find my white board pen(which would of helped). The second was using a clay painting technique which I found pretty laborious. The lack of patience and direction are vivid to me. The third experiment was using pixelation to demonstrate what bears do in the woods. The result felt really rushed even using 12fps, I guess this was due to the camera following the bear in a third person angle. However it worked alot better when I used static camera shots which made the movement more clear. A nice day out in the woods and an awful amout of pictures(almost a thousand)!
