Presentation Review and Beginning a New Project:

Hi everyone, at this point my Research and Development brief has come to a close, within the oast few days I managed to finalize my dragon, present my work and hand it all in. It has been a super busy week.
Although i have not gotten back my overall grade, i am very happy to report that i was able to achieve a max grade on my presentation and hopefully this mark will help me achieve the 1:1 that i want. The presentation was a success, I was able to both present my research and artwork within the given time limit which was 12 minutes. I think I finished my presentation at around the 11.45 minute mark, so i was cutting it close. 

Overall this has been an amazing project, and it has definite been one of my favorites throughout my years of education. I have learned so many new skills and processes that at this point it seems shocking to me that i was able to do it. When it comes to my University work I do not usually like to show my work, i like to sit down in my own space and just get on with it. However, although this brief has taught me new skills. It has also made me more confident as a person. Every week I was checking in my my tutors and fellow students to ask what i could improve to ensure that my work was at the best level that it could be and i believe that it reflects within my work.

Next week i will begin my next brief which i believe is 'Experimental Animation.' I dont know what new challenged this project has to offer, but when i begin next week i will let you all know. But for now, i am taking a well earned brake by playing some Destiny and eating pizza. Ill see you all next week. 

P.S. You can see below that i was able to finish my dragon in time and I was even able to add some additional effects within Photoshop to bring the character to life, I hope you all love him as much as I loved creating him.

Pixel Art and Zbrush Dragon Progress Update:

Over the past week i have made significant progress throughout both of my chosen subjects, Zbrush and Pixel art. Ad for my pixel art characters, i have decided to create three characters that are all completely different from each other. These three characters will resemble my fire team form the game destiny, Me and my two friends. The character below is my character and you can see that although it is pixel art, it shares no characteristics from the last design, they are all going to be completely different and i cannot wait to see how all three compare to each other once they are finished. As for my dragon, i was able to add a lot more detail to both the horns and face. I even added an additional two horns to bring the character more to life and give him a more interesting silhouette. As you can see the character also has antlers and wisps coming from his chin, this was heavily inspired from Haku the white dragon from the Studio Ghibli movie 'Spirited Away.' Although I te...
