Character Design 01

Hi all,

this is for the benefit of those who weren't at the drawin session today.

New current theme - Character design 01

This is something realllllllly simple all of us can do. Just think up and sketch out a character, an entirely new one, or a old one you've thought up before. doesn't matter. After that, do a full body pose for that character and CG it. And last thing you would need, also the hardest part, is a full CG piece of that character in some kinda scene, background and all.

Simple eh?

So end of it all, all you need is :
Sketches
1 full body pose CG
1 complete CG

That's it. Easy to understand, but involves enough work so we don't get too lazy. I would have preferred no deadline, but some people would prob get all lazy and not do anything.

Deadline : End of March '09. if that isn't enough time, please jump off a very high building.

When it's all done, i'll either get someone or myself to layout all of them nicely, into something like a book. then we could print it for ourselves. might be useful =]

get to work!

Possible topic for the blog~

The current logo is good but its always interesting to see what it can become!

Anyway, I was thinking is it possible if we can do some game design. Like we think of a imaginary client that hired all of us to do a MMORPG game. (Could be anything from Real Time Strategy, First Person Shooting and it can be even Side Scrolling game!) Don't really have to be a MMORPG. We will really design everything, from the story, characters, equipment, props till level and user-interface design. I believe this will utilize everyone speciality. Like i know Yuling do a lot of design stuffs at her company, the U.I definitely need her. Yaohui is spendid with 3D, IZ characters and i believe some of us here has wonderful story in mind. It will be nice if we take a small step.

By the way, I for one is up for side scrolling game! There are too many 3D games out there now. Metal Slug, Mario and Maple Story still has their charm (Dun flame me, I know a lot of ppl hate Maple Story... I just need examples :)) If we can design it, i can even get it flashed and scripted. Possibly really launch it as a game.

What you guys think? I'm still open to any other activities in this blog! No problem with that.
Cya folks around!

Man.... for my inactivity...

Right now i'm going on a 3 months company tactics course... studying like mad right now... learning more about the army and higher appointments that is to come. not going to go into details...

well, something to look forward to... when i'm more free, we'll probably revise on the card game. anyone knows the game Citadel? yea... we are going to change it to go towards that direction.

second thing is, i'm making a theme for T-shirt design... yup, just gonna be posting the theme with different titles, choose the titles and design in your perception of the theme and send it back to me, all designs will probably get posted back here and we'll see how wanna have a piece of that shirt and i'll look into printing it =)

And ofcoz, our identity.... gonna kick start a logo design competition? haha... 8D was intended as a temporily signature of this website... can choose to keep it, or do something more powerful. your choice...

anyway please keep posting random stuff? quite playing games!

btw, recently, i went to my friend's house to get my sketches all scaned and put into my ipod... i've got about 100+ sketches.. how many have you got? ( haha, some sort of reflection )
remember, must keep the fire burning~

This blog is dead.

So dead.

Anyways, we gonna have a sketch thing this saturday. Need ideas for a location, or we can just go to our default TCC opposite sunshine plaza.

And at this sketch thing i wanna discuss with you all about the comic panel thingy, since some complaints have surfaced regarding the 'randomness' of it all.

Plus also wanna throw up this idea to you guys for another theme. It's quite simple really, we all just need to do design a character, then do 2 CGs for it, one being a full body piece with no background (like those you see in character layouts) and the other a CG with full background included. And also provide the developmental sketches. I'm thinking of a theme along the lines of 'modern fashion', which is rather open for interpretation. All the work can be compiled into a nice little book that would look rather cool in our portfolios =D

Just a little idea i had about half an hour ago, while i was looking at some... stuff.

no elaboration needed.


oh please comment or shout whether you're coming for the sketch thing. or sms me. or watever. It's fun to draw with friends =]
