Description this the the progress i went through for a class assignment


first, the initial concept of the character

then, i play with the silhouettes while changing around costume design

i refine into a final design

and do a turnaround, making it ready for topology placement, and then modeling!

This is SO GOOD!!! O_O ...Gosh, where'd you get all the ideas for the different designs for the armor?? I only practiced armor by collecting Fire Emblem pics... @_@;

Tricheus In reply to Syani [2008-07-16 16:40:25 +0000 UTC]

fire emblem... is... AWESOME!

but, a rule to designing things is to avoid taking ideas from other people's work

whut you say?! @_@

well, the thing is, they had to get their ideas from someplace. They went and looked up pictures, found what they liked and took a little bit from different armors to base their designs off of. for examples sake, lets say they extracted 50% of ideas from actual photos for their designs. If you look at theirs, you are only getting a 50% possibility for creativity, and in the long run, you will probably end up getting 25% of what was originally there.

So the point im getting to is, go and google up some different armors. Different armors from different eras, and from different countries. I tell you, research opens up so many creative possibilities!



sorry for the long rant... but hoped that helped ^_^;

thanks for the nice comments and the fav XD

Dood, of COURSE Fire Emblem is awesome. @_@; Their designs for the costumes are amazing~

Avoid taking ideas from people's work. Okay, got it. But what if it's just for the sake of practice? I never get the cloth-folding right... <_<;

YEAH!! I know that technique!! XD That's exactly what I did to study different hairstyles!! THANK YOU SO MUCH on that advice, I'm taking it by heart! ^0^ WOOT! New experience point~!!

Dood, seriously, your ranting saved me. X) You deserved the fave! Thanks again!!!

Tricheus In reply to DjangoX [2007-06-23 17:28:44 +0000 UTC]

thanks!

armor is hard to draw unless you get the hang of it. you just need to figure out some shortcuts for yourself, and then your set!

try going with some simple shapes that could be used to represent armor, and then going from there


oh, thanks for all the fav's!! much appreciated
