Character Design Ideas

 In the lesson with Justin, we were given the brief for our characters. I was given a spaghetti western setting but instead of people, everyone is bugs. 

First, I started thinking about a villain. Bugs that could be villains are things like spiders and mosquitos. Since the characters are going to be gunslingers I thought that a spider would be great for a villain. I started thinking up some names that would suit a gunslinger spider. 

The spider will smoke a cigar in his fangs. 

Name Ideas:

Hairy Harry

Eight Gun Eli 

Silas

One of my favourite characters is Davy Jones from PoTC. I like his mannerisms and the way he speaks to others. I think that Davy will be a great influence for my spider gunslinger. 


There's going to be a duel. For the duel the spider character will challenge the mosquito. The reason this duel happens is because the mosquito, a very annoying creature, annoys the spider whilst he's drinking. 

I will also need to think about the town it is set in. Will the saloon be an ant's next or an actual wooden saloon? Will there be horses or will the characters ride on caterpillars?

Reflective Statement

  Reflective Statement  The Major project has been my favourite out of the three stages. I feel like I had much better time management. I didn’t feel rushed at any point, and I think that is because I had everything planned out and I knew what I had to get done by a certain point. I set myself personal deadlines on the way and made sure I stuck by them so I could complete everything I needed to complete in time. It was really satisfying seeing all the work I completed over the three stages come together as one big project.    I have learnt a lot of new skills during the Major project. Skills that I will take further. I am now much more confident in Maya and animating as a whole.     I am happy with the outcome of the project. I am pleased with my animation, and it has turned out better than I thought it would.   I am looking forward to taking things further with animation.
