Too much thinking not enough writing: Year 2 Week 9

Year 2 Week 9

The robot is looking promising.

So; I’ve settled on the idea of having a government robot that’s been taken over by the people. I think I not only have a strong back story but also a strong character. He might be little but he will have a lot of character to him. The materials for my robot is mostly going to be iron metal that’s painted but that will look damaged like rust and dents etc.

I’ve started doing some primary research by going out and looking at rusted cars and other metal work. I also spoke with my tutor to see what advice he has to give me. By the end of this week I have fully concept my character and started with modelling. I showed off what I had done in my presentation and everyone seemed to really like my idea and story, yay for me!

I don’t know what it is but shiny things and lights really make me happy so I think that’s why I’ve got a good amount of motivation for this project! I’ve decided to make it a bit festive seeing as Christmas is around the corner. With this in mind and to add abit of character I’ve wrapped some Christmas lights around the robot giving him some colour!

Start mood boards

Found this little guy and used him as refrance.

For next week I would like to aim to get my model completely finished and textured so I can move onto doing some rigging. I can’t really tell if I’m excited or not to get on with this rigging but we shall see. I would say I’m perfectly on track to finishing this project with no problems!!
