Vehicle and Props Design
Project 1, 2, Final

Project 1

Fig 1.1 (Moodboard)
  • I've added a bit more on the moodboard with more references of the artstyle and elements that are usually incorporated in the vehicle designs.

  • I notice that Ghibli films have more noticeable air vehicles that other types of vehicles.
  • While I did initially want to challenge myself and try to design a land vehicle that would imitate Ghibli flims' artsyle, I am quickly humbled when I realize I cannot brain a fresh design.
  • So I decided to stay in the comfort zone.
Fig 1.2 (Silhouette)

Fig 1.3 (Thumbnail)
  • Honestly, coming up with these 10 designs took me wa--y too long.
  • I was still kind of hung up on the land vehicle idea (that I didn't have and designs of) so it took me a while to focus on the airships' designs.

Fig 1.4 (Value painting)
  • Okay, hear me out; I was absent for three weeks, so this really was a rushed work.
  • Those three weeks, I've been trying to come up with a land vehicle design, and as mentioned, failed, which is why I stuck to airships which is a vehicle Ghibli films have a lot.
  • And I knoooooooooow this doesn't look Ghibli. 
    • Some other design from the thumbnails probably looks more Ghibli than this.
    • But y'all. I was waaay past deadline and this is probably the one I've thought out most design-wise.
  • I did keep Ghibli in mind when designing this, but if it doesn't show, I have only myself to blame. 

Project 2

Interior / Cockpit

Fig 2.1 (Base / Rough sketch)

Fig 2.2 (Rough blender render)
  • This is me trying out Blender for the first time.
    • I did try it out for the exercises, but this is the first time I actually try to for real build something.
  • For practice, this isn't bad. I managed to get the shapes there.

Fig 2.3 (Sketch feedback)
  • Bruh I liked how I took down these feedbacks that I decided to put in my blog.
    • Incorporate other shapes instead of only squares.
    • Add more curvature to the headboard to match the steering wheel.
    • Roof control panel is too much.
    • Add other elements (levers and stuff) somewhere.
    • Make it more fun.
    • Add some props.

Fig 2.4 (Cockpit progress gif)
  • Bruh I loved it so much I decided to make a gif out of it ( ´ 艸｀)
  • This is why I run out of time to do things that actually matter ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)

Fig 2.5 (Refined - Monotone)

Fig 2.6 (Refined - Value painting)
  • I added a little bit of asymmetry in the design.
    • The base structure of the headboard is symmetrical, but the "decoration" is different.
  • Left side has more monitors.
  • Right side has more 'personality'.

Fig 2.7 (Blender front view)

Fig 2.8 (Blendr 3/4 view)

Fig 2.9 (Blendr)
  • Eyooooooooooooooooo I actually like this.
  • All that's left is to close the ugly gap between the headboards and add texture (and the windshield I guess).
  • There's actually some elements I haven't incorporated in there so it's not fully completed yet.
  • I'm not sure if I should include the roof controls.
    • I'm not gonna

Final

Details, Final render, Props

Fig 3.1 (Exterior)

Fig 3.2 (Interior)

Fig 3.3 (Interior - Blender)
  • I'll be real; when I first designed the cockpit, I imagined it to be more spacious. This looks cramped as hacc.
  • It might be because of the darkness. Dark colors make spaces look smaller, right?
  • I went with orange-ish/peachy color initially, but it wouldn't have matched the exterior. 
    • The exterior with orange-ish/peachy color was not it.

Fig 3.4 (Props - Headboard Accessories)
  • I wanted to include these headboard accessories in the interior drawing, but I ran out of time.

  • I'm aware that the end product leaves much to be desired.
  • Honestly, there was so many things I planned to do that I didn't end up doing.
  • I spend all my time thinking of what I could do, and ultimately lose time to actually do it. 
  • I could list out the things I planned on doing here, to somehow justify my so-so work, but that wouldn't amount to anything.

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...
