Dove & the Crow

Our last project of the semester! We had to create 2 anthropomorphic characters and make an illustrattion out of them. We did an adaptation of Beauty & the Beast. Our main theme was the cage. The Beast cannot go outside of his castle, or else he will transform into a monstrous creature. When we were thinking of the cage, we also thought of birds. So, we are in the birds world. Beauty must be simple and pure. In the picture, the Beast already took a step ouside. That's why his foot are already transformed.

Game concept - backgrounds final

This semester, the biggest project was to create a game concept. We were a team of 5, and there were about 6 game concepts in all. Our game was a puzzle action game. 3 of tthe 6 were to be selected by juries of the industry to be realized next semester...actually, one level of the game will be made. After all, we only have 3 mouths to make it. Our game was selected as the second game and will be made next semester.

I was the one charged to make the background.

I was warming up with some bg's tests:

                                                First preview of the cube platform in space.

We have floating isles in our game

tried to get a cubic feelling here...

                        Working with the atmosphere and elements in the backgrounds. We have two kind of
                         backgrounds. One representing crazy mind, an another representing a corrupted beautiful
                         world.

Here are some tests I made for the cubes. Yes, we actually play with cubes...

I love the second and third cubes...

The inside become translucent (water?)

Shaman

Final mid-semester character design assignment. First part of the project was to draw an archetype. Next was to draw it in another context, different from the archetype. My archetype was the shaman and I made a sky shaman for the second one.

Simona portrait

We had to redo the portrait of a girl. It t be the most identical possible. I don't know if I have the right to post the original picture, so I won't post it. The other thing we had to do was to redraw her in a different style.

The redrawn portrait:

In a different style:

Dragon teenager

Here is the first 3D character I made last session, using 3Ds max and zbrush. The following pictures are from screenshots, so the quality is a bit low... Due to the fact that the character was meant for real-time and not for rendering, I made screenshots instead of render.

First, the zbrush sculpture:

The final result from 3Ds max:

Daily practice - covered by the cold

I wanted to try a completely new style and technique. A lot more instinctif than most of my drawings. I always wanted to try drawing from greyscale first and then adding colors. That's how I made it.

Dragon girl concept

For my new 3D character, I plan to make a girl with dragon features. Maybe someone raised by dragons or with abilities common to dragons. I don't know yet, because there is no predetermined story behind it.

Here are some preliminary designs.

I have decided to add scales.

Because it is for animation practice, I tried to avoid too much flowy parts. I also wanted to make her looks more adventurous. I haven't really animated in 3D yet, so I am trying to found a design sinple enough.

Different designs. The shoulders part was mostly decided, but I wasn't satisfied with the lower part.

My last sketch. It is a mix of what I liked in my previous drawings. I removed the belt that didn't fit well. I added pointy and round shapes. Her skin is covered with brown spots, reminding the dragon skin.

Now, I need to make a clean with the details and redesign the face.

Crescent moon - Animatic

This animatic was made for one of my courses. I intent to make a little 3D animation out of it. It will probably be in a 2D style. I am not sure if there will be shades yet. The design aren't definite for now. I am thinking of a more unique costume and design for the boy.

The plot: A little boy live alone on the moon. He is fishing to get some food. Then, something unexpected arrive... When I was young, I was told that the moon was a cookie. When it looks like a crescent, it is because someone ate it. This story is base on this.

The animatic was rearranged by me and my friend. She offered to make it with me, so we will probably be two to work on it.
