Vehicle and Props Design
Exercise


04.04.2023 (Week 1)
Introduction to module.


Exercise: deconstruct different types of vehicle.

Fig 1.1 (Air Vehicles)

Fig 1.2 (Land Vehicles)

Fig 1.3 (Water Vehicle)
  • Broke down 3 types of vehicles using big basic shapes to understand the form of the vehicles.
  • I realize that they are usually separated into three parts:
    • The front - where the engine is
    • The body/middle - where the passenger sits
    • The back - sometime for storage

11.04.2023 (Week 2)
Exercise: car perspective, object perspective

Fig 2.1 (Vehicle Perspective)
  • I actually used Blender to help me with the perspective drawing.
  • I know how perspective works, but I admit I have trouble translating it onto canvas.

Fig 2.2 (Object Perspective - Trophy)
  • We were told to pick any object that isn't too complex but not too simple and draw it in 3 to 6 different angles.
  • The trophy is basically a combination of several basic shapes, so I managed to do 6 angles.
  • I have to admit, I did omit some of the more intricate details on the trophy, but we're only looking at the overall shape here, right? （；^ω^）


18.04.2023 (Week 3)
Studying StarWars (or other IPs) vehicles.

Exercise: 15 silhouette (3 classes, 5 variant each). Choose 1-3 to line.

Fig 3.1 (Air Vehicle Silhouette)

Fig 3.2 (Silhouette 15 - Rough Design)

  • Okay, I know I haven't captured the essence of StarWars, but I really did try.
  • Again, I rea----lly struggled with perspective, but I managed to draw it fine here.
  • However, lecturer did tell us to show reference for where we get inspirations from in order to understand what exactly that we have extracted from the IPs to create what we created.
Sidenote: As I was sketching this, I realized that the ship looks a little like a platypus lol. 


25.04.2023 (Week 4)
No real exercise assignment but do sketching exercises while simultaneously finalizing the moodboard.

Fig 4 (Moodboard)
  • I thought to choose Ghibli films for the IP that I will be referencing because I really like Ghibli films.
  • I also wanted to try and design a vehicle that belongs in a somewhat dystopian world, and Ghibli is famous for its beautiful post-post-apocalyptic world building (Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa, etc). 
  • I do need to define more on what I want to extract from this artstyle and properly highlight them in the moodboard.

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

 DESIGN EXPLORATION (Week 1 - Week 14) Maisarah bt Muhd Zamri Design Exploration Project 1  Renewal of life · Return: Contemplate human beings' relationship with all things Sketch 1 Sketch 2 Sketch 3 Final Outcome Foldable phone wallpaper Phone wallpaper Animation video "This artwork shows animals of sorts flowing out of Earth that is held by a person, symbolizing the relationship we, as people, share with other walks of life on this planet and how our actions can affect their livelihood. Buildings in the background are depicted to be in the dark, allowing the stars to shine in their natural bright glow." Project 2 Design Elaboration I plan to make a satirical ad for a "nature retreat" resort or something where the facility is built on sacrifices of other living things.  storyboard 1 storyboard 2 storyboard 3 Tranq Haven ad            "Humans, animals, and plants — we all share the same earth.

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
