Feedback - Week #2 [Idea]


Feedback



 


I got feedback from two people regarding the reference board, thumbnail sketches and the character/vehicle overview presented to them (at various stages in the development process).

Oana: Please try to think of the character motivation - focus on their most important trait. Also, remember its gonna be stylised and a little over the top by nature - don’t try to make it realistic.

David: Try to think about what colour palette you might use. Cause it's pretty vague right now, I think colours are important for creating the right vibes.

Addressing The Feedback:


- After some discussion my partner and I settled on a much more solid character premise, focusing on their mentality and reasons for being the way they are, and taking certain actions.
- I revisited the reference board and introduced more varied and stylised reference to better inform our design ideas. I think that the silhouette sketches we currently have will allow for some interesting proportions and stylised features (none of it looks too realistic).
- Some colour reference was included - especially the purple and neon colours from Evangelion. Dark greys and blacks will also work well here, and they can contrast will little splashes of colours from the variety of things that the racer has accumalated. The vehicle will reflect the costume design of the character too, with things welded to, taped or hung from various components. Environmental storytelling about the places that the racer has visiited, I suppose.

Watering Can - Household Item Design

WATERING CAN - HOUSEHOLD ITEM DESIGN This watering can in our laundry is "mundane" and very simple in its design, but I like it for the colour choice, the extremely textured and weathered look of the painted area, and the very smooth edges (all of the edges appear quite bevelled and flow/sink into each other in a way that doesn't look visually jarring at all). Gestalt's principle of continuity is partially present here in that way I suppose! For fun, I went into Blender and spent a couple of hours creating a simple model of this watering can and texturing it. I hope I got across the smoothness in my recreation! The final result is a bit too high-poly for a game asset but it could be decent as a prop in a CG film or something! The most difficult part was the tube, which I created to some degree of success using a bezier curve (however I think the joint is a little awkward). Thank you for reading this short blog post! - Ethan (or Yisen)
