Kaffi Got some cloth! and color

Color really isn't the most important thing on my model but I did it specifically because it gets harder to do things in gray when parts need to be seen apart from each other, but are super close. So, here she is for now...she still needs an eyepatch but I have been working on the cloth and hair mostly

Kaffi Progress





Her progress that needs to happen before the 9th:



I am more worried about getting all the sculpting stuff done over getting the colors in. coloring would be mostly a bonus. Her legs will be sculpted at least a little to look like the tights. Right now shes missing her eyes (I messed them up so I am going to put them back in, easy fix) eye patch and her skirt piece. those will be modeled and added. then she will be posed after some sculpt fixes and detailing.




QUICK in the last few mins fixes (fixed the shirt thing and her legs a little

Fun With Story Boarding

So as I couldn't get onto maya today I went ahead and played around with some more story boarding. My initial idea from last week got changed a bit because I felt it was to much like I was trying to right a 5 minute short story rather than a piece that could be incorporated into a story as a cinematic piece. I decided to go the route of "end of game" cinematic even though the piece I am doing doesn't actually belong to a specific game and is based on the characters themselves. In this I was looking at multiple cinematic sequences from the very dramatic trailer style to simpler in game ones. I chose to draw inspiration from Final Fantasy 9's Ending Cinematic and wrote a demi-love scene. I wasn't able to think up anything epic or earth shattering for the time being and decided since I am more worried about camera than story itself for the thesis I was alright with it being more simple than having explosions and a cut every two seconds. Also, I want to take all moving cameras and try to simulate them in motion capture.
