Character dev: tests

Homework for the learnsquared class of Maciej Kuciara. Lots could have been done better, but I was submissive to test the software and workflow the teacher provided instead of using the toolset within my comfort zone. I don't regret it.

The details on the face are too small, I totally ignored the thick to thin, big to small rule in compositions. I took some time to make the eyewear, then the arm, then everything else, separately, it was a big mistake. Most of the details got lost in the bigger picture, which is something I will have to have a better handling in my next works. You know what they say, if you're not failing you're not learning, and I failed big time on this one, at least for me. The previous work had all this points nailed down correctly, probably because I was very deliberate and took long breaks before continuing the work.
This was a spoiled fruit I collected from not being patient to finish this image. I'm also not that pleased with the selling of urban subculture as a fast track to content.

I was not that much motivated during the course too, which further crippled me and my judgement skills towards my own work.
A wonderful study to keep in mind later on and remind me of this mistakes, which I hopefully never ever do again.

Headhunter Sculpture

First sculpture test that I've finished in clay. After a great class I've taken. Still lots to learn and lots to polish. I need to work on my patience the most.

Halloween - Art bots

Allowing myself the pleasure to wander aimlessly and post pone criticism, during the halloween

Halloween character design!

Since I have a mentored class coming up soon, I decided to hold on unmentored training that I'm taking online. 

As such, I'm practicing more ZBrush stuff from my last class in the meantime.

On this I allowed myself the privilege to wander aimlessly, but I had a purpose and story on my mind from the start. I'm mostly exploring adjacencies. There's a lot of question marks on this, somedays I hated it, some days I loved it. Mostly because it's a joke of a pikachu dressed robber, heavily inspired by some news I read about heisters who take funny masks to do their job, like spongebob's, mickey mouse, etc... as well as Die Antwoord's short film. I ended up censoring the pikachu features and adding a shout to halloween season.

I'm not sure if this is good enough to go to portfolio in the end, but I try to remind myself to forget about good, and have growth instead, which is not necessarily good, just an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to the research and work. But I rather have real growth than really good work, when I'm experimenting with personal work anyway.
