Unit 10: Minor Project - Flesh to Final Turnarounds

Hello Everyone,

Here is a sample extract from my latest contribution (31/12/13) direct from Polydoodle Pictures Studio Blog. The video below shows my creative process for 2D character turnarounds. The video concludes with a time lapse construction of the turnaround for"Young Barnabas". This is only 1 of 4 characters, the completed sheets and construction is on our blog.


EXTRACT

"The image at the very top of this is the underline anatomy of the character Benjamin is slightly podgy but Sammy and Chrissie didn't have an overhanging Belly in mind so I overshot that one. Still they corrected me and I corrected the flaws in the final turnaround. You may notice some differences in Benjamin's facial features from the original.

Unit 10: Minor Project - Skeleton Turnarounds (Anatomical Frames)

Hello Everyone,

Here is a sample extract from my latest contribution (30/12/13) direct from Polydoodle Pictures Studio Blog. The image below shows the framework for my final turnarounds for Benjamin Badgersworth. I have knocked these up to act as a rough blocking guide for my final turnarounds. This image is 1 of the 4 characters I have to model for our project.

 

EXTRACT

"The image above shows the skeleton forms worked out from Sammy's original head sketches and my early proportion/skeleton tests. I have defined the joints as that is where distortion lies if it were not for these we would be blobs. I have a top arm separate for modelling the hand and the muscles of the arm. The side is where one notices the S curve from the central line. The chest sticks out leading into the pelvis Benjamin's body is like a bean which I know from the earlier form tests we conducted... He looks a little older then we had considered but this is just the earlier test."
