Portfolio Class- Character Development!
Hey guys, specifically Dan. Unfortunately I was already at the color stages of the Morgane piece by the time you guys were wrapping up the Merlin crits. So, unfortunately when hearing the command to stay in the preliminary stages of staying at sketch phase so that it could be revised it was too late. I thought I could just push it to finish since I didn't have that much more to go. I probably am guilty of wanting to impress. But I feel those were not wholly my intentions. My intentions were to work on this project before finals came and to make the uninteresting look interesting by copying Leyendecker's style. I only wanted to push the Leyendecker because I knew my design was uninteresting. This is where I think my biggest fault is. In disregarding the class's whole purpose: to make an interesting, memorable, story-telling character design, I did everything backwards by barely focusing on character design and more on the type of finish (though that is important to some degree perhaps, idk.. I don't know much). What I can tell you though is that I'd love to be teachable and mostly to learn as much as I can. I would be grateful if you could crit my piece. I have taken it back to the sketch phase and written down some notes over the drawing (more like tracing) for you to understand my process and for you to correct it where it went wrong. I didn't draw everything like specific patterns (for example: the design on the helmet and staff/cage) but for that you can see through the transparent layers. Anyways, sorry for causing you grief (in knowing that I wasted my time more than yours (I know you have good intentions) and just know that I have the least intentions of wasting your time and my time. I want to restart this project with your advice. but a crit would be much appreciated so I can have a fresh perspective. Hope all is well with you and the rest of the CD community. Cheers!
