Back to modelling character!!!!

So after that fairly quick modelling of the hat i am gonna get back to the character modelling or i may do the bag first :) I am slowly getting the hang of modelling and as soon as i start to see something emerge i feel a good sense of pride, which i never expected from modelling.

I have a fair way to go though and need to get going with it so wish me luck :)

Modelling the Hat!!!!

my tutor alex as he was checking up on my hedgehog modelling and i asked him whether it would be better to build willie's hat as part of the model or as a separate object and he suggested to model it as a separate object. So i started modelling the hat right at the end of class and after 20 minutes i got this which im pretty happy with it still needs a bit of smoothing but it actually looks like a cap.

i have started modelling....... and badly!!!!

I started modelling for real for the first time so i am modelling and learning from tutorials at the same time which can problematic at times. So i started with a cube changed vertices and extrudes faces a little bit. and this is what i got so far, poor i know but hey i will improve :P

schedule for project!!!!

This is some sort of schedule for my industry exercises project. Its a schedule that helps me plan out the time i have to do individual aspects of the project.

Red hat and bag i think ????

I was going through colours and spoke to alex and we both thought red was the right colour for willies hat and bag. This just states danger, anger, hyperactivity and simply looks cool and is my favourite colour so works perfectly.

It also reminds me of me when i went on my first visit to disneyland florida and for the whole 3 weeks i think i wore my red cap every day after my parents bought it on the first day, so just a little bit of myself in the character as well :)

Ok final design

This is my Willie Billiams a “A hyperactive nine year old on his first

visit to London Zoo with an obsessive interest in creepy

crawlies.”

He is an obese, hat wearing, ruck sack wearing, hyperactive 9 year old hedgehog who when scared or upset goes into his protective ball :)

The characteristics of an hedgehog are spikes, small arms and feet and small eyes and i have combined these characteristics into a cartoon character with the characteristics of a hyperactive 9 year old boy. the things that have been used to show a hyperactive 9 year old boy is a baseball cap on backwards and a ruck sac as well as a very volatile personality.

I like this character a lot because he has personality and visual appeal aswell as enjoyable to draw :P
