This is my first page of the year - two different monkey janitor designs. One with a slop bucket, one with a mop. The writing is just ideas of where to take the project this year.
The first designs I drew out trying to think about creating/finding a drawing style that I could more easily transfer to Maya and the 3D stuff therein. I'd also started to draw out textures that I was going to scan in and use on the models themselves.
The Ant-headed monkey here was a doodle that came about in one of those lovely moments where nothing is really needed to be done and so I was free to draw anything. I'd seen a good picture of a monkey on a ledge, as you do, and tried to get that position with the body on here. Then I drew an ant head on it because I was too tired to figure out how a rabbit head would look.
The drawings starting at the top left, making their way down and then round to the middle of the page are my explanation images whenever I try to tell people what I'm doing at the moment.
Some notes and thoughts on what I thought I could try and do.
More notes and thoughts. At the moment, we don't have to internet, so my wifey and I go to McDonald's and get a drinky. For a few hours. She catches up with her family and I draw and write out notes in my sketchbooks. This is one of the pages. I often work with two sketchbooks at once; one above the other. It's nice to have four pages to go to and from instead of flipping back and forth. The pages that came from this are in the sketchbook that I don't have with me today.
Here's the page I drew up when I was thinking about how to market the game that - at the moment - I've thought of. The ideas for the game may well change but at the moment this is what I'm thinking it could look like.
The idea is as follws:
The customer buys the box that the required card comes in. The idea is that the required cards carries the information needed to see the main character of the game appear in 3D when looked at through an Augmented Reality app. As the game progresses, the character levels up and becomes stronger, more powerful, better equipped, etc. To do this, he must fight monsters that he comes across and these are in the form of other cards.
The cards will be sold in booster packs and will be level-orientated. Booster packs with monsters at levels 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, etc. As the character levels up, the player buys the appropriate booster packs.
The box will come with the character card and three level 1-4 booster packs.
Also in the box will be a code that enables the player to download the app. that the game runs on. The cost of the app. will be included in the price of the box.
In as smooth a nutshell as possible; that's the idea for now.
A few posts ago I made a little image that (hopefully) explained what I'm wanting to achieve. This is the robot that I used for the card design.
Designs and poses for the main character.
More designs and poses for the main character.
And then this is today's progress at modeling the character. It's not too strongly adhering to my usual style, but it seems to be working, so I'll not complain.
Time for lunch.
Peace.
