Hades Design 2

After deliberating with the team, I made some tweaks to his outfit. We still think he looks too Greek and not enough modern, so there will still be tweaks along the way.

Persephone's Sister Sickles concepts

In our game, the main character, Persephone wields two sickles. One represents life and the other death. Each has their own abilities that allow Persephone to progress down the river.

Hades Costume Concept

One of the main characters in our capstone game. I tried a blend of classical Greece and fantasy, with a few Southern gentleman suit pieces thrown in for good measure since our game is set in a New Orleans inspired swamp.

Persephone Costume Concepts

Concepts for the main character of our capstone game. My idea was a blend of classical Greece draping and traditional fantasy armor.

Pirate ship for level select screen:

RPP4 - Pirate Walk Cycle

This is my first 2D animation for a human! It took so much time. I'm happy with the result, but next time I am definitely going to try using a skeleton instead of hand drawing every single frame.

RPP 4 Character concept

Concept for pirate character. The plan is to have a choice between male and female, so this is the latter.

Some other colors I thought about:

Original sketches:

RPP3 - Character Concept

For this round, I was solely responsible for the two main characters in our game, Now Playable Character. Here are the original concepts:

 The playable character and typical fantasy shopkeeper.

The stereotypical hero.

Common Art Week 6 - Lighting

This week we took a pic of an object utilizing a 3 point lighting scheme. I chose Spanish festival Barbie and used a red screen on a laptop and two lamps; one orange and one teal.

Here is the original:

Common Art Week 6 - John Berkey and Perspective

Our assignment was to find a piece by John Berkey that demonstrates perspective and then 3D model the image in Maya and trace over our new image to create a replica of the original.

Common Art Week 4 - Drew Struzan and Composition

This week we studied Drew Struzan's famous poster designs. He is a master of compositional layout and his work is extremely well-known.

I honestly struggled a lot with this piece. I should have chosen a more stylized way to present the image, rather than just making a mediocre copy of the original. I would have enjoyed the assignment more, I think.

I believe this piece displays multiple types of composition, the first being across layout. The main characters in the scene are laid out across horizontal and vertical lines, with the attention being drawn to the middle of the page.

I could also argue that the image showcases a pyramid layout as well. Because the heads vary in size, their positioning simulates two opposing triangles that, once again, draw attentions towards the middle of the composition.

Common Art Week 3 - Frank Frazetta and Value

Value study underneath one of Frank Frazetta's lineart pieces.

Common Art Week 2 - Brian Froud and Silhouettes

Nine silhouette redesigns of a Brian Froud faerie illustration. Letter A is the original. I had an absolute BLAST doing this assignment. I kept a few designs fairly close to the original (G, H, I) and went a little crazy on some others (C, D, F).

 Original image below (very low quality).
