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 ...

Game Art: Project 2

 GAME ART 01.09.2023 (Week 1) - 08.12.2023 (Week 14) Maisarah bt Muhd Zamri Game Art Project 2 Project 2 I have decided to sculpt iDOLL because she is anatomically the easiest to do. Veter would've been easy in terms of outfit (since he is shirtless), but ultimately I feel I'd do better in sculpting iDOLL.  Fig 2.1 - Body blockout The head (temple area) needs to be fixed. Maybe fill up the cheeks more. Fig 2.2 - Hair sculpt HOW THE FCK DO YOU SCULPT HAIR?????????? That's literally just a piece of scrunched-up-paper-straightened-up plastered on her face right there ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽ I managed to avoid sculpting hair in a past module because my character had a hood covering his head, but I cannot escape it this time ;;;;;;;;;  Add volume to hair. (no sht) Do a big chunk first, then add smaller chunks. Do not merge the chunks. Fig 2.3 - Body sculpt wip Fig 2.4 - Fullbody sculpt wip Finally figured out the stupid hair. Also I'm going to pretend that her 'final' design doe...

Design Research Dissertation

 DESIGN RESEARCH DISSERTATION 27.09.2024 - 27.12.2025 (Week 1 - Week 14) Maisarah bt Muhd Zamri Design Research Dissertation Task 1 - Draft dissertation Literature review matrix Four years .            It took me four years to face this fear of completing this literature review matrix. This was the main reason I dropped and failed this module so many times. I hated it.  And so behold, the bane of my existence: Literature review matrix Ch2. Literature review I took longer than necessary to write this section. Because like the literature review matrix that this section is based on, I hated it . I went back and forth between writing this section and the next ones, because the next ones were fairly easier to write in my opinion. I skipped tons of classes consecutively because I didn't have this section ready by its interim deadline.  (Word count: 1329) Ch1. Introduction // Ch3. Research methodology // Ch4. Results & findings As mentione...
