"BOSS" Reffrence #6

 HERE IS BATMAN, KNOWN FOR HIS STEALTH, UNDECTED AND INVISIBLE, BUT WHEN HE STRIKES, ITS DEADLY. I WANT THAT FOR MY CHARACTER.





 HERE IS DAREDEVIL, THE SAME AS BATMAN, BUT HE MOVES WITH SOUNDWAVES, HE SEES LIKE A BAT, ONLY BY SOUND, BECAUSE HE IS BLIND.





 HERE WE HAVE DEADPOOL, THE ULTIMATE DESIGN, THE PERFECT DESIGN, HE IS DEADLY IN EVERYTHING HE DOES, KNOWN FOR HIS QUICKNESS AND ABILITY OF RAPID HEALING.









SPIDERMAN, KNOWN FOR HIS QUICKNESS, AND HIS AGILITY, HIS MOVES ARE UNBELIEVABLE, HE MOVES SO FAST, SOMETIMES ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHERE HE IS.





I WANT MY BOSS TO BE ABLE TO TO DO SOME AWESOME MOVES, HIS AGILITY SHOULD BE FLEXIBLE, I WANT HIS MOVEMNT TO BE THAT OF A PANTHER AND MOVE SILENTLY, AND IF POSSIBLE MOVE AROUND ON ALL FOURS, BUT WHEN HE STRIKES I WANT THE MOVES YOU SEE ABOVE TO IMPLEMENTED INTO HIS ATTACKS.

MOVEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT IT GIVE THE CHARACTER LIFE, RATHER THAN JUST A NORMAL BORING CHARACTER MOVING AROUND, HIDING, I WANT HIM TO MOVE LIKE A DEADLY SNAKE, UNDETECTED, BUT MOVE LIKE A PANTHER ON ALL FOURS.

"BOSS" Reffrence #5









I HAVE CHOSEN THE "BLACK PANTHER" AS ONE OF MY REFFERENCES TO THE FINAL BOSS DESIGN FOR LEVEL 3, IT IS NO LONGER A MOUNTAIN THEME, IT IS BASED UNDERGROUND, WHICH ACTUALLU SUITS ME BETTER, THE REFFERNCE I HAVE CHOSEN IS PERFECT FOR THE FINAL LEVEL DESIGN ALSO, BECAUSE IT IS A PANTHER AND IT IS BLACK IT WILL BLEND IN WITH THE UNDERWORLD, PANTHERS ARE KNOWN FOR THERE RAGE AND HIDDEN ABILITIES, LIKE STEALTH, IM NOT TALKING ABOUT GAMES STEALTH, I MEAN STEALTH THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BALCK THEY CAN CAMOFLAUGE IN ANY SURROUNDING, SO THE UNDERGROUND LEVEL IS PERFECT.

I CHOSE THE PANTHER BECAUSE I WANT TO INCORPERATE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PANTHER TO THE MAIN BOSS, THE LOOK OF THE PANTHER, THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE COLOUR OF THE PANTHER WILL BE INTRODUCED TO MY CHARACTER BUT IT WILL BE IN HUMAN FORM.

I HAVE SOME DESIGNS THAT I HAVE DONE AND I WILL POST THEM SHORTLY ALONG WITH MY CONCEPT ART.

Personal Thoughts

The lessons have been going well but there is a certain vibe amongst the members in the group, nobody sems to be getting along with eachother, everybody has contributed to eachothers work, but as of lately everybody seems to be critisising eachother saying how nobody likes the characters and the levels.

There are 2 people to each level, there are 3 levels, people who are not even working on a level seem to change somebody elses level without there consent first and sometimes even the characters, if you try to argue your case they say "its not worth talking about its already been changed so that question is out of the equation", if you do that to someones elses level that is disrespectful, doing it without them even knowing is worse.

Personal Thoughts

I think overall the games project went well, there where alot of fun and creative things to do, I had a lot of input towards the final level and the finalboss characters.

I think that there where also aspects i would have liked to change, maybe have some different people in the group, but I guess everybody is creative and has there own ideas and opinions on things.

I would have liked to do a shooting game rather than an adventure game, but i think its more harder for an adventure game so you have to step up and be more open and suggestive, and you have to be more creative which makes your brain tick.

I think if we where to do a shoo0ter game we would have had a lot more fun with it and not taken it to seriously, but i think the ultimate goal would have been achieved. I dont think it was achieved with the adventure game we where doing, i had a lot of probelms with Maya, one being i have no idea how to you use it and two that there wasnt enough time to learn how to use it as i had other assests to fulfill.

The programmers were a fun bunch of guys to work with but at times where also ery very confused on what they wanted, because of that we had to design things over and over again, because this wasnt just our game it was theres too.

Because we spent so much time designing we had hardly enough time to construct things on maya, some people in our group where very perficient and had great knowledge of maya, i had some basic tutorials but non he less still found it very difficult to use hence there being not much maya work from myself. But we as a group did discuss the issue i had and there were ok with me not doing much on maya as long as i had enough designs for them to work off.

Overall i enjoyed myself and would like to part take in something like this again as it was an experience and was something tht i wanted to do, concept art and character design is what i want to go into and i did alot of that.

Video Refference for Magic - MYSELF






IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL SEE MYE USING MYSELF AS REFFERENCE, MY TUTROR SUGGESTED IT .........

THE EFFECTS IN THIS VIDEO ARE OF MY OWN CREATION AND SLOWED DOWN (which was diificult because there not meant to be performed slow) SO THAT IF I WANTED TO USE THEM AS REFFERENCE TO ANIMATE I WOULD KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

I CAME UP WITH THIS VIDEO BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THE BOSS FOR LEVEL 3 MIGHT NEED SOME OF THESE EFFECTS, BUT NOT WITH CARDS, I HAVENT FIGURED OUT WHAT HE'D BE USING INSTEAD OF CARDS BUT THE IDEA IS STILL IN THE AIR, BUT NON THE LESS THE REFFERENCE IS THERE JUST INCASE I WANT TO USE IT.

HERE ARE SOME VIDEO REFFERENCES TO THE MAGIC AND ILLUSIONS, MAYBE 1 OR 2 OF THESE WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED INTO THE BOSS CHARACTER, I LIKED THESE VIDEOS BECAUSE THEY SHOWED SOME THINGS THAT WOULD LOOK IMPOSSIBLE TO A LAYMAN.

"BOSS" - Magic Refference # 2


CRISS ANGEL - THE MODERN DAY HOUDINI - THATS WHAT PEOPLE SAY, HE NOTICED FOR HIS AMAZING ILLUSIONS, THINGS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN, HE IS THE YOUNGEST MAGICIAN WHO HAS WON AN EMMY 4 TIMES FOR STAGE MAGIC, HE IS ALSO ONE FO THE RICHEST MAGICIANS TODAY.




I WANTED TO USE ONE OF CRISS ANGELS ILLUSIONS, THE LEVITATION, I LIKED THIS TRICK BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW OF OT, BUT NOT LIKE THE WAY CRISS ANGEL PERFOMED IT, HIGH IN THE SKY AND RECORDED FROM MULTIPLE CAMERAS INCLUDING A MOBILE PHONE.


I WANTED TO USE THE LEVIATION TRICK WITH MY BOSS BECAUSE AS I STATED IN PREVIOUS POSTS THAT HE WAS A MASTER OF ILLUSION.

THATS WHY I WANTED HIM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO LIFT OF THE GROUND.
