Real Worlds - Week 4:

In this blog I will be talking about the feedback that we were given about my designs and the work that I did for this week and then what I needed to work on for next week. 


Schedule: 



At the moment I am behind on my thumbnails as I should be already finished with them by this week which isn't very helpful but I should be able to catch up with where I should be in a few weeks as I hope to get done with my model quicker which means that it should even out.

Feedback:

This week in class we were given feedback for our models however I felt uncomfortable with sharing my designs with the others I described my ideas instead so that I could still get feedback on my designs from the idea of them rather than showing them concepts. It would have been beneficial to get specific feedback about my designs however it was still nice to get feedback even if it was generic and just about my idea for the character I wanted to make.

I explained that my first character for my Asterian character would be a mech and that a character could connect to them like the smaller robot characters and have similar mechanics to them however be bigger and stronger. I want them to be hunched over and to have them look strong but still looking like the original robots. 

With my other character, my Enforcer character, I explained that I hadn't thought too much about my character however had thoughts about them being a pathfinder character that used a drone to help them get around and scope out areas however have only looked at their weapon so far and a single drone look. I wanted to look at them having a smaller weapon and possibly a hand held weapon rather than a big sniper weapon that most of the other pathfinders have.

Those in my group really liked the idea of looking into a bigger version of the robots that were already there but to make sure that it still looked like they were similar to the other robots that were available. I thought that the advice that I was given was a good start to be able to continue with my thumbnails. With the other character they said that I should focus on getting more of an idea of what I wanted the character to look like as at the moment I don't really know what I want the character to look like other than them having a hand held weapon and operating a drone which is something I need to work on. 

What I worked on this week:

This week I didn't manage to finish my thumbnails which is the task that I wanted to get completed for this week which means that I am behind on my schedule however I believe that I can catch up to where I should be with my thumbnails and so that I have something to show for the meeting where I show my designs with the client. 

What I need to work on for next week:

For next week I want to make sure that I catch up with my thumbnails so that I have thumbnails to show for the meeting and make sure that I finish the backstory of both my characters from where I started them. I should have nearly finished the backstories however it's something that I need to continue to work on throughout the week up until the meeting we have after industry week.
