Further research 2 of the alien

In these examples I have looked further into head and body shape ( any lump or bumps anywhere, and skin being like crustaceans. Also here there are examples of possible eye looks/shapes. 

body parts of robot

For this particular research of the robot  I wanted to focus mainly on the eyes and legs of my robot design. I had decided I wanted a robot which had a spider look to it, for the legs. Following the spider look, I wanted to have a robot which its legs were adjustable. However for the eyes, unlike a spider which has several eyes, I wanted to go for a singular eye which is found in games like portal & in this example.

Robot research

further alien research

In this part of my research I have moved away from the typical alien sort of look and started to go more into more advanced and dynamic looking aliens ( much more colour and features added to them).

Alien research

I started off by researching  different possible variations of the typical Alien for one of my characters I would make for this project.
(wider faces)


(Longer necks and faces)

(Missing mouth & lump on the head)

(more wrinkled)

Proposal

Advanced project proposal

For this particular project I have decided to choose the ‘writing Brief’ to which I have chosen the category of making a comic book. For this particular option I have made the decision to make a three dimensional comic book to which I may decide to include elements of the character used in my last project but changed up a little bit from the last (another variation of the character). The characters included will all fit into the sci-fi genre possibly ranging from more organic looking characters like aliens to more robotic characters, furthermore there will be around two or three characters made. Creating these characters from scratch on Photoshop may prove difficult so I will probably use applications such as Maya, Cinema 4D etc to create and adapt these 3D characters and environments. Although I am not using Photoshop create the main designs for the comic book images I will probably use it to add effects and finalize the images. In creating these scenes I intend to try and convey an emotional response/attachment between the main character and the audience.

For inspiration I will do research looking through various images on the Internet and magazines which are relevant to my theme and also develop concept art to give a feel of how my environment and characters will look through my sketchbook. These ideas at a later date can be implemented into my 3D models.

Over the next few weeks up to the middle of March I will be developing characters and environments, and after then moving towards finalizing my storyboards for my comic book.

My blog that I will be making will be updated over the next few months on a weekly basis to which I will include the research, development and also finals, not only that but I will be discussing the problems and tasks I’ll face followed by the resolutions.
