Before this the teacher told us some character shapes, that there are 3 elements namely Circles, Squares and Triangles.

Fig 2.2

The first shape is circle which has a friendly, outgoing type of personality and is perfect for energetic characters and circle is also associated with words like cute, bubbly and innocence.

Fig 2.3

The second one is square which has a dependable and responsible personality and good for heroic characters and associated with words like strong, stable and balanced.

Fig 2.4

Last one is triangle which has the energy and power that may attract conflict and associated with purpose, law or hierarchy. Usually bad guys have these kind of shapes and based on dominant triangular concepts.

Week 2: Research, Reference, Sketch

This week we were given some vormator shapes by the teacher and asked to make some sort of character, so i started to search for some ideas on Pinterest.

So after i watched the latest sonic movie and saw Doctor Eggman's robot, i decided to make a robot like character and looked like Doctor Eggman himself. I also took some reference from an anime called Gundam.

REFLECTION

When the teacher first gives us this assignment i was a bit confused on how i was going to make this character and had no idea what i should make. Although i was already familiar with the software itself it will be hard for me to figure out on how to make a character but despite the hardships, i was able to overcome it with ease even if it's not the best on the market.
