Model 1: The Beginning

 

as mentioned before, i will be using cinema 4d, i find it slightly easier to use, here are a few models i made, i did find them hard to model at first but i got the hang of it. Here you see the final design for my first concept character, i think i will be using this for my final, but i will have made others to compare them.

here is the head i modeled, i wanted to deform the head slightly, so here is me attempting to sculpt the head, i didnt have to do much, i found this model quite fun to design actually, it was pretty good. I think i will deffinately use this model for the final.

 

here is the design without any details, the head is sculpted and i added a cube in its stomach to suggest its power source, so it comes up with evil spirits, like th character was suggested in the first place. this is without any details. so far i am pleased with what i have accomplished.

Reffrence: The Film - "The Reptile"

 the Reptile, taken from the movie with the same name, is a horror film from the 1960's.

 this is the cover from the film the reptile.

Here are a few images from the film the reptile, i will be getting my inspiration from this movie along with a few more, this image is significant to me because of its look, its very old and legendary look, it looks like a myth, and myths are good because no body believes in them, which is why im taking elemts fro this character to my own design.

Reffrence: Reptiles

 Because people seemed to have a problem with me making my characters to humainoid and more superhero like, I had to redisgn my whole character, The original was to have some kind of animal look to it, So what ive done is keep the animalistic look but change it to a reptile, because reptiles have always been apart of everyday life, in this life and the one before, With this reffrence i got a lizard, because a lizard is a creature tyhat can move fast, has great agility and can blend it to its surroundings.

This image if from the films "The Reptile" which was released in 1966, It was a horror film, Ive decided to take some elements from this film in homage to the film itself and the module and characters within the game.

Personal Thoughts

I dont seem to be enjoying modelling or using maya, so wat im going to do is use cinema 4d and see where that takes me, i heard that it was easier to use so im going to give that a crack. future reffrence: im never using maya or modelling again !! to much hard work !!!!! haha

"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.
