Task 4


Task 4 Analysis



The initial ideas I had were to design a new type of weapon so I sketched down some ideas for weapons I had. But drawing the firearms and the medieval style weapons gave me the idea to design a knight who uses firearms. So I wrote down my ideas for a character like that and the type of world he would live in.



In my moodboards I included different types of armor, different types of firearms and different poses with guns.The armor moodboard was so I could get inspiration for what the character's design would be. The design I eventually settled on is mostly inspired by the armor set on the far right of the top row on the armor moodboard. The firearms moodboard was so I could get inspiration for what weapons my character will be using. While the idea for my character was for him to use multiple types of firearms, I decided on using a pistol and a mini gun for his base design. The poses moodboard was so I could get inspiration for what poses I will draw my character in for the initial design and concept ideas. Though for my designs, I drew him in regular poses just so I could get a good idea of his design.



These drawings are the initial concept design ideas for my character. I drew a basic drawing of him facing forward, a drawing from the side and a drawing of him holding a different type of gun. The drawings were drawn on paper with pencil and shaded in with pencil and pencil crayons. I drew the figure of the character first and filled in the rest of the details as I drew. I believe I could have drawn the proportions more accurately and I think I could have used a better technique for the colouring.



For the final piece, I am happy about the poses of the characters and their designs. I feel like I have created an interesting concept and I think I did well with the proportions for this. However, I believe I could improve the colouring of the piece as the incorrect shading technique was used again. I personally want to practice digital art as I feel it would be easier to correct mistakes and add smaller details.

Artist Artwork Analysis

Artist Artwork Analysis Hirohiko Araki                     Araki has a very distinct art style. The look of the character's faces looks pretty realistic compared to most other manga. The characters also have a very masculine look to them, while also appearing flamboyant due to the bright colours and extravagant poses he usually draws the characters in. Most of the art drawn by Araki is for his JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series which is well known for the usual traits of Araki's art style. However, as you can see with the image on the bottom right, that being the first manga cover of JoJo, you can tell that Araki's style didn't start off this way. The style isn't as realistic or flamboyant, but it seems rather expressive. Jack Kirby                     Jack Kirby's art style is also a relatively realistic style. His style is the style usually associated with super hero comics today. The characters he draws usua

Concept Art Analysis

Concept Art Analysis Xenoblade Chronicles The concept art here is concept art created for the 3DS port of Xenoblade Chronicles in 2015. While I cannot find who drew it or exactly when it was drawn, I can make a guess that it was drawn sometime between late 2014 and the release date of the port, that being April 2nd, 2015. The game was developed by Monolith Soft, with the directors being Koh Kojima and Genki Yokota. The company has also worked on the Xenosaga series as well as a small amount of licensed games for other brands.  The strong elements in this design are the main character Shulk with his weapon called the Monado at the front, showing off the most important character in the plot of the game as well as something else of high value to the plot, and the large amount of the colour green as well as the large open area in the distance, showing that the areas in the game are not only covered in nature, but are also large and open to explore.

Evaluation

Evaluation Research Task For my research, I feel that I have conducted a pretty good amount of research. The images that I have looked into are from media that I already know a decent amount about, so looking into the images in further detail wasn't too much of a challenge for me. To improve my work, I would like to go into further detail on the subjects I was looking in to. I had a limited amount of time to look into these, so I had to cut a few corners here and there. To improve on this next time, I will make sure to save myself enough time so I can go into more detail on the research. Design Task For the design task, I feel that I have designed a pretty decent looking character. I took inspiration from medieval armor sets and modern day firearms. I feel that I have put a good amount of detail into the design and the gear of the character. Areas that I feel could be improved are the poses of the character. The poses that I have drawn are too simplistic in my opinion
