Hey

Well its all over, It was a struggle, but its all done. I think my character came out fantastic, but I believe he could of been better. I presented my project well and proudly displayed my character. His textures did come alright I believe and the lights really showed off his figure. I can honestly say I am happy with him. My character will always be remembered as my first modeled, textured character and I am proud of that. I do want to continue to work on him in the future and he will be better then ever. Finishing my PDF book felt good and I was able to look back at all my work and process and I'm happy with it. This class took me out of my element and it challenged me, but in the end I learn so much from this. Character modeling can be challenging, but fun and I hope to get better at it. Overall I think everything turned out great and this may be the start of a new beginning. I won't give up, my dream

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, AND THANK YOU

Hey

I must admit I been slipping lately, I been trying to work on my character, but I have other problems in other classes which is affecting me. I know I can get my character done, but my at this point it is hard for, I maybe making up excuses, but I have a lot on my plate right now. I guess this will be the first blog I miss. I need to sort out some things so I can get back on track. As far as my character goes I believe I did a good unwrap, so I have to make textures and the textures are kinda hard to make. I was thinking of trying a technique I learn on my textures, but it is still a working progress. I haven't made big changes to my character, only to his face, but and some adjustments on his body. I am also working on my PDF book and I believe that will take no time at all, just need to have everything. My character will most likely have metal armor and some gem stones on his armor as well. I am excited to put some textures on him and I know it will come out great.

I apologizes for doing this blog late, but to much has happen this week and I am very worried about another class, so its a lot on my shoulders, I hope I and make it pass.

Hey Everyone

Its getting close to becoming the end of the term and I feel really overwhelmed in my work. I can agree that this has been a stressful term for me, but I did get most of what I needed done. I am done with my character only there needs to be a few changes to his face. I really like the way he came out, and my skills have gotten better since my first character model on a male. I know that I am proud of it and see how far I come along with it. I got some advice on it and sometimes I felt that I didn't add enough polys to it, but I tried to be careful with it.

Its been a hard road for me and like I said I am very stressed out. The last blog I said I didn't want this to affect my work and that's I am avoiding. My character is fully model and now comes the texturing. I am trying to form ideas for his texture and hoping that it comes out good. I don't believe texturing will be a big problem for me, but I need to think what textures will work for me and can I really pull off some good textures. I hope that the textures I make will come out ok, but if anything most of his body will be full armor.

work hard!

Hey Everyone

Its been some what of a good week as I got most of my character done. Last time I said that I had a great fear of modeling characters and as I look at it, my final character, he looks real good to me. I only hope that he will better as I continue to work on him and it will impress my class and instructor. I can feel my skills growing in modeling and if i keep it up, I feel that in due time, I can modeling anything. I am working on my character more and more, and the design is coming the way I wanted it to. The armor still needs more work it is coming along. I was able to add a shield and his two swords which turn out real good. I believe the head may be a little difficult considering my guy wears a helmet and I need to get that at a good point. I think that with all the practice i got and lessons I was able to make a good character. My character is a swordsman and that is the theme I kept with. I am more confident in my abilities and skills with modeling this time around. Now it will come time for the textures and I haven't figure out what I am going to put on him yet, so I will have to work on some designs for that. Overall I am very happy with the way my character is turning out, I need to make him better and get my skills better for the future.

work hard!

Hey Everyone

I been working on my model little by little. I have had other models to make and I am learning, but still needs work and I notice there has been changes happening with me, as far as my personal life. I think that what goes on with me in my personal is affecting my work, but I am trying to not to let that affect my models. My model is coming along alright,but he is no where near done. I think maybe I am stressing myself out a lot on this project, because its my first character model and I really want to get it right. As I was modeling the female model I notice I was struggling a lot and with it and I would redo the model over and over and over again, then start to panic.I believe that's where the fear comes in. Character Modeling is out of my element, but its a challenge and a fear I must over come. As I work on my character I hope and pray that he comes out alright. I like I said I am working on him little by little, but with the time so short and whats going on in my life, He his barely getting done. I want him to look great and have all the things I want him to have, without making any changes to it. I believe I can do, I just need to try harder. I have learn a lot about character modeling, but I guess my fear of it is holding my back. Once I get my character to a good point where I won't be scared, I think I will be ok. I also learn some tricks and tips from tutorials for my final character. In the end I just hope things come out ok, not only for my project, but for life as well.

work hard!

Hey

The last few weeks has been hell for me. I been working on my character model. but it seems the more i work on him the more confidence I lose in myself, because I feel that I try so hard and my work is never good enough. I believe that if keep practicing and sticking with my design i will be ok. I am sticking with my original design with the swordsman, but I don't know if he will be good enough. It is a competitive world out there and I have to get better. I feel I can do it, but at the same time I am doubting myself and my ability. No body said character modeling was easy and I didn't expect it to be easy in any way shape or form. As far as my character goes and I can get the shape of my character, but putting the armor on is getting difficult. Thanks to the Model Sheet I do have good description and view point. All I can do is keeping working on it and hope and pray that it comes out good. At this point I will stick with my design and if I need to change anything, wish i hope i don't, I will do just that. This is a big challenge for me and I hope I can make it.

These are the pictures from the model sheet. It is my reference pic and the one I drew out. Its not perfect but it works for me.
