Akinbiyi Babarinde12 November 2012 11:45 I like how you've made your character this small, number 12 stands out to me, the idea of having his lair inside a medieval torch holder, it'll be pretty cool to see it from the inside though, just like you did with the chandeliers, I think the effect of number 10 is greater but I really like the idea of thumbnail 12

Akinbiyi Babarinde13 November 2012 04:39 Looking into Camelot from the Merlin series seems like a great idea...some mice thumbnails could come out of that influence, as a digitally painted piece your study of the cobwebs would come in handy, but how are you thinking of representing it in a 3D environment when you get to that stage

Emily Clarkson13 November 2012 14:16 Well I think I have definitely got some more thumbnailing to do before I decide completely on what exactly to do. But within the 3D environment. I believe I will model the Candelabra first and then use Matte painting to make the background scene to go behind the 3D object. As for spiders webs... I have yet to ask the Maya guru's how to make them in 3D, i honestly have no idea where to start with those!

Try giving some more a go :)

Emily Clarkson14 November 2012 11:27 Thanks George! I will try to be looser about it. Promise. :) Reply

Akinbiyi Babarinde14 November 2012 13:35 These are really nice silhouettes ; 8 stands out to me, but i do see what George means :) ReplyDelete

Emily Clarkson7:50 PM Hey Kinbi these are nice. I find a, b, and f are the most interesting to me. a;'s interesting melding with natural formations, b for its clear theme and f for its perspective view. Nice work :) do you feel drawn to any of these particular designs? ReplyDelete

Emily Clarkson11:17 PM That is a really cool way to enter the lair and I can easily see a forgotten overlarge statue quietly crumbling away. These drawing give great insight into your characters world. nice job Kinbi. ReplyDelete

Akinbiyi Babarinde9:24 PM Yeah I really liked C and A; I'm drawn to these the most, but these were my early thumbnails, I'll keep posting the thumbnails I have and reflect on them before going forward, what I am having issues with at the moment is deciding on a Hero Prop. ReplyDelete

Jebb1951:37 PM The thumbnails that best portray the character are images #a & #b. Image #a would make a great underground vault where the character could stash the stolen items, and image #b greatly portrays the cultural background, but with a little improvement, such as the placement of kung fu apparatus, it woukld enhance the kung fu aspect. Image #f has a great perspectuve, but it is unclear what the inttention of the image are. ReplyDelete

Visual Concept
My Secret Lair is of the Kung- Fu Thief its set during the transition form the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. My process in making this scene was to visually research by looking at Chinese films and see how Chinese architecture is shown to the public, this way I'd be able to make an interior which instantly shows Chinese influences Next thing I did, was to look at other lairs and I was really interested in lairs of superheroes, especially Batmans cave and supermans the fortress of solitude. I decided to make my cave a mixture of a cave and a structure, as it would make sense for my story and I really liked the idea of the cave like structure from Superhero caves I looked at. so my Final image would be a fully built structure inside a cave like environment which is underground.
