Anatomy and Character Sculpture
Exercise


06.04.2023 (Week 1)
Introduction to module.



13.04.2023 (Week 2)
Skeleton study 
Sculpting skeleton > waist up

Fig 1.1 (Skull & Proportions Study)

Fig 1.2 (ZBrush - Head Skeleton)

Fig 1.3 (ZBrush - Bust)

Fig 1.4 (ZBrush - Skeletal Waist Up)
  • This is my first time using ZBrush. 
  • Honestly, pretty fun. 
  • I didn't struggle much with this. I don't know why it was so impossible for me to use this software before.
  • The skeletal body is made of simple shapes, just as a base.

20.04.2023 (Week 3)
Pose/Proportion study

Fig 2 (Pose Study)
  • I gathered images of models in various poses and traced them.
    • I chose mostly contemporary dance poses because they tend to show more movement. That helps me understand the flow of the body better.
  • I'm supposed to do a head/face sculpt, but I didn't (ʃᵕ̩̩ ᵕ̩̩)

27.04.2023 (Week 4)

Fig 3 (Head/Face)
  • Here is the head/face sculpt that I didn't do last week.
  • "i wAsn'T STrUgGliNg VerY mUcH."
    • The face is pretty weird.
    • The eyes are bulging and I unfortunately merged it with the rest of the head so I couldn't fix it anymore because it is a non-reversible action.
  • I'm a little proud with the nose actually :^) 
  • The ears also don't look bad.
  • Honestly I really like how this face turned out, if it weren't for the eyeballs mistake. That is the one thing ruining this whole face. ( ಠ_ಠ)

04.05.2023 - 18.05.2023 (Week 5 - Week 7)
The weeks I dipped :')
I was absent from class for these three weeks because of reasons and therefore have to rely on class recordings to do the next exercises.

Fig 4.1 (Muscle)
  • I combined sculpted cylinders and spheres to build the arm. 
    • They're still individual subtools in Fig 4.1 and aren't yet merged.
  • I had slight trouble sculpting the from muscles. 
    • The abdomen muscles look odd.
    • I learnt later that I shouldn't just straight away sculpt the abs. I should first push the abdomen part inwards a little bit so it wouldn't look as if the abs are bulging out the body unnaturally.

Fig 4.2 (Hand)
  • The thumb is a little messed up. 
  • It looks fine in some angles, but some other angles it does look a bit disproportionate.
  • It was a bit of a hassle to sculpt each fingers, but such is life.
  • But overall I think it looks okay.

Fig 4.3 (Foot)
  • I used the same technique for sculpting a hand to sculpt this (I'm not sure if there is a separate way of doing this, cuz I didn't come to class, so I wouldn't know).
    • I was so afraid of looking up feet pics for references because I  don't want that in my search history. What would my FBI agent think of me if they saw that? (≖_≖├┬┴┬┴
  • The bits in between the toes are probably caused by the low resolution.
    • It's going to be hidden by shoes later anyway, so I don't worry about it much.
  • It looks alright I think.
There's supposedly an exercise on how to sculpt hair, but I was already so behind on the project, and my character wouldn't be showing hair anyway, so I skipped doing that.

FINAL PROJECT 11.11.2019 Week 12 - Cultural Relationship For this project, I decided to "express" Malaysia's culture through it's traditional clothing. Malaysia is mostly populated with three main races - Malay, Chinese, and Indian. All these three races have their own traditional clothes, of course. I want to try combining all three clothings - for both female and male - into one to depict that these three races is what makes Malaysia.  So I took the highlighted parts and just mash them up. So it's basically a baju kurung and baju melayu with cheongsam and changshan designs, topped with saree's drape and dhoti's scarf. These are things (stereotypically) essential in each three culture's festivals: - Ketupat (Malays) - Chinese Lantern - Rangoli decorations (Indian) (Final work) I wanted to combine the three traditional clothings of the three main races in Malaysia - Malay, Chinese, and Indian - for

Buildings in the background are depicted to be in the dark, allowing the stars to shine in their natural bright glow."

Game Art: Exercise

 GAME ART 01.09.2023 (Week 1) - 08.12.2023 (Week 14) Maisarah bt Muhd Zamri Game Art Exercise  It is advised that we download "Brawl Stars" (mobile game) and play it as we are going to base our designs on the game.  Fig 1.1 (Character draft - ideation/headshots) Fig 1.2 (Character draft - action pose) Fig 1.3 (Character outfit ideation) Artstyle is inconsistent. Decide on an artstyle (whether it be chibi or not) Worry about outfits later; focus on developing the characters first. More variety in the occupation (not just pirate themed) Initial plan was to design 5 pirate themed characters with different occupations (captain, navigator, marksman, etc) but apparently "pirate" is one thing. So I gotta come up with different, separate occupation/job/profession for different characters.  Fig 2 - Character design For the Mafia character: maybe exclude the cigar. For the Artillery character: he should've been tank.  Add more variety of body types -- rn they're al
