3D Character Project - Ideas and Theme

Ideas and Theme for 3D Character

For our second assignment, we have been tasked with creating, designing, developing and delivering a model of a 3D character, based around set constraints. This assignment made me very excited as character development is something i'm really interested in.

This is a group project, and my other group members are:

• Melissa Hull
• Patrick McCallion
• Holly McLean
• Caroline Gilliand
• Jennifer Lynch

We based our theme on "The Japanese Elements" usually, Wind, Earth, Fire and Water but seeing as we had 6 people in our group we added another two elements.. "Space" and "Time" 

                                                        

My chosen element was "TIME" and we settled on creating "guardians" of these elements,

The descriptive themes are a type of personality, since designed characters tend to reflect their personalities in their appearance, the descriptive theme is probably the most influential constraint in regards to the characters outward design. 

I decided my character would be C, Fearless. 

I chose this because basically it was the most suited to my character, I have already decided on modelling him to look like a wise old man because my initial thought for him was "Father Time"                                                               

The next constraint to conform to is the floor-to-legs, legs-to-abdomen and abdomen-to-head cross sections.  

So really how the characters neck, body and footprint are shaped. I chose i for the neck, as my characters head is going to be quite large. The waist is M, as it's most human like. The footprint i chose R because his legs are just going to be rounded.

We also had decided as a group that our "family of characters" would be modelled after TOONIX style 
Like this little guy above, based on this our proportions would fit closer to T as it is small legs, small abdomen and large head

So my final code is CIMRT
