Level 3 Modelling #1

 I STARTED TO MODEL HERE SO I THOUGHT IDE TAKE SOME SCREEN SHOTS OF WHAT I WAS DOING.

 HERE I HAVE CREATED THE CUBE WHICH I WILL NOW START TO CONSTRUCT INTO THE THIRD LEVEL OF THE GAME.

I HAVE MADE MY LEVEL INTO A SOLID SHAPE WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT IM DOING HERE, YOU CANT REALLY SEE IT IN THE GRID.

THE MODELLING SEEMED TO BE GOING OK HERE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED .....................

THE LEVEL STARTED TO MESS UP, SO I TRIED TO ALTER IT AND THIS WAS THE RESULT OF IT ...................

EPIC FAIL OF THE LEVEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I STILL NEED ALOT OF PRACTICE ON THIS, THIS IS THE LATEST ON THE DESIGN STAGE OF THE LEVEL, I HAVE CREATED THE WEAPONS, BUT IM HAVING DIFFICULTY SAVING THEM AND UPLOADING THEM AT THE MOMENT, HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE POSTS I WILL HAVE THEM UP FOR YOU TO SEE.

Level 3 Designs #1

SO FAR I HAVE ONLY DESIGNED THIS MUCH, THERE IS NO MORE TIME TO KEEP DESIGNING, ONE OF MY ASSETS WHERE TO DESIGN THE THIRD LEVEL IN MAYA, AND SINCE WE ARE DRAWING CLOSER TO THE DEADLINE, I THINK ITS TIME FOR ME TO START MODELLING.  I WISH I HAD DONE MORE DESIGNS, BUT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE SO MY NEXT POSTS WILL BE OF ME MODELLING.

Level 3 Reffrence #2

HERE IS MORE RTEFFRENCE DEFINING WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE, THIS IS SOMETHING MORE ALONG THE LINES IF WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF THIS, BUT THE MOUNTAINS ARE TO FAR THAT ARE COVERED IN SNOW, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE CLOSER TO WHAT WE WANT.

 I THINK WE HAVE NAILED WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO HERE, I DONT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING MORE, MAYBE WE MIGHT EVEN COPY THIS DESIGN RIGHT HERE.

Level 3 Reffrence #1

HERE IS AN IDEA OF WHAT THE LEVEL WILL LOOK LIKE, BUT NOT LIKE THIS OBVIOUSLY, THE LEVEL WILL EITHER BE FULL OF SNOW OR PARTLY FULL OF SNOW, WE HAVENT DECIDED YET, OPNCE WE COME TO THE DESIGN STAGES WE WILL SEE WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLSHED.

HERE IS A MORE DEFINED VERSION OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR, SO HOPEFULLY THE FINAL DESIGN WILL LOOK SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS.

Random Character Designs #1

I WAS FIXATED WITH THE IDEA THAT THERE WOULD BE RANDOM CHARACTERS RUNNING AROUND, LIKE IN EACH LEVEL YOU WOULD RANDOMLY SEE A CHARACTER IN THE BACKGROUND HIDING OR RUNNING, I SAW IN THE GAME MORTAL KOMBAT THAT THERE WOULD BE RANDOM CHARACTERS RUNNING IN THE WOODS AND IT WOULD LOOKS MYSTERIOUS SOMETIMES SCARY, SO I DECIDED TO CREATE THESE CHARACTERS THAT WOULD BE LURKING IN THE BACKGROUND. IM NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO WORK OR EVEN IF THE TEAM WILL AGREE WITH ME ON THIS BUT I THOUGH IT WAS AN INTERESTING IDEA TO DO. I HAVE NO REFFRENCES TO THIS BECUASE IT WAS PURELY A SPONTANIOUS THING I JUST DID.

Common Enemy Designs #2

I CREATED THIS CHARACTER BUT I THINK IT LOOKS TO MUCH LIKE A ZOMBIE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IT LOOKS GOOD DONT GET ME WRONG BUT IM NOT TO SURE ABOUT IT, BUT I DONT THINK I WILL BE USING THIS, IT WAS JUST AN IDEA I HAD IN MY MIND I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU.

Common Enemy Designs #1

HERE IS MY FINAL DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTER, AS SEEN IN THE REFFRENCES THIS LOOKS FAMILIAR TO THEM, BUT WHAT I STILL NEED TO DO IS CREATE THIS CHARACTER FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES AND HAVE HIM DO MORE POSES WITH DIFFERENT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. BUT OVERALL I LOVE THIS CHARACTER, I PERSONALLY THINK ITS ONE OF MY BEST DESIGNS YET.

Common Enemy Reffrence #2

 THE POSTURE HERE IS WHAT IM GOIGN FOR, BUT WHAT I DONT WANT IS FOR MY CHARACTER TO BE ON ALL 4'S ALL THE TIME, I WANT HOM TO STAND AT SOME POINTS TO.

 HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF THE FACE, LOOKS VERY IMPRESSIVE I WILL INCORPARATE THIS INTO MY DESIGN AS I THINK IT WILL BOOST THE LOOK OF WHAT IM GOING FOR.

HERE IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, THE POSTURE AND THE SADISTIC LOOK, BUT STILL YOU CFAN SEE THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF HUMAN FORM THERE AND MAYBE SOME CHARACTERISTICS THERE. MY DESIGN WILL DEFFINATELY BE SOMETHING SIMILIAR TO THIS HOPEFULLY.

Common Enemy Reffrence #1

 HERE ARE SOME IMAGES FOR TROLLS I GATHERED FOR THE "COMMON ENEMY", THE COMMON ENEMY IS AN ENEMY THAT IS GOING TO BE THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE GAME HOPEFULLY, THESE ENEMYS WILL DIE BY HITTING THEM 2 OR 3 TIMES WITH THE ATTACK BUTTONS, THESE ENEMYES WILL COME IN PACKS OF 3 OR 4 AND WILL APPEAR TWICE IN ONE LEVEL HOPEFULLY THERE ARE THREE LEVELS SO THEY WILL APPEAR 6 TIMES.

 HERE ARE SOME MORE REFFRENCES FOR THE DESIGN THAT I WILL BE COMING UP WITH, JUST SOME CLICHE STUFF AT THE MOMENT. IVE BEEN LOOKING INTO FANTASY ART ALSO, SEEMS TO BE SOME PRETTY INTERESTING STUFF THERE TOO.

HERE IS SOME MORE REFFRENC, I WANT MY DESIGN TO LOOK MORE ANIMALISTIC THAN ANYTHING, I DONT WANT TOEHRE TO BE A HUMAN LOOK TO IT, MAYBE HAVE HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS BUT NOT THE LOOK.

"BOSS" Design #3

HERE IS MY FINAL DESIGN, I AM STICKING WITH THIS, I LIKE HOW HE HAS THAT "KRATOS" / "GORO" LOOK TO HIM, BUT WHAT I NEED TO DO IS DRAW HIM FROM MORE ANGLES, I HAVENT DONE THAT AS OF YET, BUT HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE POSTS I WILL HAVE DRAWN A CLOSE UP AND A PROFILE VIEW OF HIM, ALSO HOPEFULLY IN DIFFERENT POSES.

"BOSS" Reffrence #4

I AM USING "KRATOS" FROM A GAME CALLED "GOD OF WAR" FOR MY FINAL DESIGN, BUT WHAT IM GOING TO DO IS CHANGE IT SLIGHTLY, NOT GIVE HIM THE KRATOS FACE OR WEAPONS OR EVEN HIS SCRAS, BUT GIVE HIM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT KRATOS HAS LIKE THE CHAINS AND THE ATIRE, KRATOS IS MORE MODERN LOOKING BUT WITH MY DESIGN I WILL MAKE IT LOK MORE ANCIENT AND WEATHERED.

"BOSS" Design #2

 HERE IS THE DESIGN OF THE BOSS ALTERED, I WASNT VERY HAPPY WITH THE PREVIOUS DESIGN TO BE HONEST, BUT IM STILL PULLING ELEMNTS FROM IT. WHAT I DID WITH THIS DESIGN AS I PREVIOUSLY SAID WAS THAT I WAS GOING TO ALTER THE FACE DESIGN, AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DID.

 HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF THE DESIGN FROM A PROFILE VIEW, I ADDED THE PREDATOR SYMBOL FROM THE MOVIES BUT CHANGED IT SLIGHTLY, I ALSO ADDED A MOHAWK ON THE DESIGN ON THE SKULL AND MADE IT ANIMAL / MUTANT LOOKING SKULL TO SUGGEST ITS NOT FROM THIS PLANET.

I ADDED WINGS ON THE CHARACTER, BUT TO BE HONEST THIS LOOKS HORRIBLE, NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A DEATH ANGEL, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO AVOID, HOPEFULLY MY NEXT DESIGN WILL BE PERFERCTED BECAUSE THIS DESIGN RIDICULOUS.

"BOSS" Reffrence #3

 IM ALSO VERY FIXATED ON THE IDEA OF HAVING THE PREDATOR DESIGN PUT INTO MY CHARACTER, BUT MORE OF THE FACE THAN ANYTHING AS PREVIOUSLY STATED BECAUSE THE FACE NEEDED WORK ON.

 HERE IS THE PREDATOR MASK, BUT WHAT IM GOING TO DO IS JUST CREATE MY DESIGN BASED OF A "FEW" BITS FROM THE MASK, MY DESIGN PROBABLY WONT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE PREDATOR MASK BUT YOU WILL DEFFINATLEY SEE THA THERE IS SOMETHING THERE REFFRENCING TO THE PREDATOR.

HERE IS A SCREEN SHOT OF WHAT THE PREDATOR LOOKS LIKE, I THINK THAT WHEN THEY DESIGNED THE PREDATOR THEY MUST HAVE DRAWN REFFRENCES FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL / MUTANT / MONSTER / ALIEN, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH SUCH AN ICONIC CHARACTER LIKE THIS.

"BOSS" Reffrence #2

AS YOU ALREADY KNOW IM A MAGICAN, AND I WAS FASCINATED WHEN I HEARD THAT THE AZTEKS WHERE AMAZED BY MAGIC AND THEY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS REAL, SO WHAT I DID WAS SHOW ALL MY FAVOURITE MAGICIANS IN THE ABOVE IMAGE. THESE PEOPLE INSPIRE ME AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL INSPIRE ME TO COME UP WITH AN AMAZING CHARACTER.

"BOSS" Design #1

THIS IS THE DESIGN THAT I HAVE COME UP WITH, I HAVE TO SAY THAT I REALLY ENJOYED DESIGNING THIS CHARACTER BECAUSE OF THE REFFRENCES THAT I PUT INTO IT, I THINK I COULD HAVE DONE MORE WITH IT TO BE HONEST, BUT FOR NOW I THINK IT LOOKS OK, THE FACE COULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED BUT THEN AGAIN I WAS GOING FOR MORE OF A HUMAN LOOK THAN A MUTANT / MONSTER LOOK.

"BOSS" Reffrence #1

 THIS IS "GORO" FROM THE MORTAL KOMBAT GAME FRANCHISE, HE WAS ALSO IN ONE MOVIE, I REALLY LIKE THIS CHARACTER BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE AND STRENGTH, I WANT TO INCORPARATE THE SIZE INTO MY DESIGN.

 I LIKE SCORPIONS BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THINKING ANDALSO THEY CAN STRIKE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING, THE STING IS ALSO SOMETIMES DEADLY AND CAN KILL A VICTIM WITH MINUTES.

THIS IS ANOTHER MORTAL KOMBAT CHARACTER CALLED "MOTARO", HE IS HALF HUMAN HALF HORSE, I DECIDED THAT IM GOING TO INCORPARATE ALL THE ABOVE DESIGN INTO MY MAIN DESIGN.

Mask Designs

 I LIKE THIS DESIGN ALOT, BUT AS I LOOK AT IT MORE IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE AN AZTEK MASK, BUT I STILL MIGHT USE SOME REFFRENCES FROM MY OWN WORK.

 NOT REALLY A FAN OF THIS PIECE, SOMETHING DOESNT LOOK RIGHT, SO THEREFORE I WONT BE USING THIS ONE. DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS.

MY DESIGNS SEEMS TO BE GETTING BETTER AT THIS POINT, I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE, BUT NOT TO SURE ABOUT THE EYES, OTHER THAN THE EYES I LOVE THIS DESIGN.

I THINK I HAVEFINALLY ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I WANTED EVEN THOUGH THIS TOOK SOME TIME TO DESIGN, I MESSED UP QUITE A BIT ON THIS BUT OVERALL I THINK I NAILED IT., NOT OVER THE TOP BUT LOOKS SCARY AT THE SAME TIME.

Mask Reffrences #3

 JASON VOORHEES, THE HOCKEY MASK, THIS CHARACTER IS FROM THE "FRIDAY THE 13th" SERIES, 13 FILMS HAVE BEEN MADE, ONE OF WHICH WAS RELEASED ON FEBURARY 13th 2009, JASON MADE HIMSELF FAMOUS WITH THIS MASK, ITS AN ICONIC SYMBOL, THE MASK HAS OUTLIVED THE CHARACTER OF JASON BECAUSE OF ITS SIMPLICITY. THE MASK LOOKS GREAT BUT I DONT THINK I COULD ADD THIS INTO MY DESIGN, BUT AS A REFF I THINK ITS AWESOME.

 THIS VERSION OF THE PHANTOM MASK IS ONLY HALF THE FACE COVERED, I LIKED THIS DESIGN BUT I DONT THINK ILL BE USING IT SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY DESIGNED SOMETHING SIMILAR TO IT.

  PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, THIS IS A CLASSIC MASK, EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS MASK WHEN THEY SEE IT, SO WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS CREATE SOMETHING SIMILAR, BUT HAVE MY OWN VERSION OF IT, SO WHEN THE CHARACTER RUNS AROUND IN THE LEVELS PEOPLE CAN IDENTIFY HIM WITH HIS MASK, ITS LIKE AN ICONIC SYMBOL.

THIS MASK IS FROM THE "SCREAM" FRANCHISE, SCREAM IS A HORROR FILMED THAT WHERE MADE DURING THE THE 1990'S AND EARLY 2000'S, THERE IS A NEW SCREAM FILM WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN 2011. I LIKED THIS DESIGN BECAUSE OF ITS SIMPLICITY AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE MASK, GIVING IT A HORRIFIC LOOK. I HAVE INCORPARATED THIS DESIGN INTO MY CONCEPT ART.






I CHOOSE SIMPLE MASKS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IN THE AZTEK TIMES, THE MAYANS LIKED TO USE SYMBOLIC IMAGES AROUND, THEY HAD MASKS WITH WIERD DESIGNS/PAINT ON THEM, SO WHAT I DID WAS TAKE ALL THE DESIGNS OFF AND HAVE THE MASK JUST PLAIN, NOTHING ON THERE WHICH PERSONALLY I THINK IT GIVES A SCARIER LOOK TOO.

Mask Reffrences #2

 HERE IS ANOTHER ANGLE OF THE MASK, I LIKE THIS DESIGN SO I MIGHT INCORPERATE THE DESIGN IN TO THE CONCEPT ART.

 THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THE MASK, I FOUND IT ON THE "HALLOWEEN" WEBSITE, I LIKE THIS BECAUSE THERE IS NO EMOTION AS STATED ABOVE, ITS MORE HORRIFYING WHEN THERE IS NO EMOTION IN ANYTHING A KILLER DOES

THIS IS MICHAEL MYERS FROM THE FILM "HALLOWEEN", THIS REMAKE FILM WAS RELEASED IN 2007 ON AUGUST 31ST, THE FACE IS BASED ON "KIRK" FROM THE "STAR TREK" SERIES, THE MASK ITSELF IS CALLED THE "KIRK DEATH MASK". I LIKED THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS BECAUSE IT HAS NO EMOTION WHAT SO EVER.













WANTED SOMETHING MORE SIMPLE, I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS CHARACTER "MICHAEL MYERS" FROM THE "HALLOWEEN" SERIES, I ALSO REALISED THAT MICHAEL MYERS WAS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS, AND THE DESIGN OF THE MASK WAS SO SIMPLE IT WAS UNREAL, BECAUSE IT WAS SO SIMPLE IT WAS TERRIFYING, WHEN MICHAEL WOULD KILL HIS VICTIM THERE WOULD BE NO EXPRESSION, NO EMOTION, BECAUSE THE MASK HAD NO EMOTION, BUT WE DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS UNDER THE MASK, WHAT MICHAEL WAS FEELING, THE MASK TOOK CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.
