TASK

In this project, we were asked to create a complete set of the character and it's props in 3D using ZBrush. We had to sculpt a skull to start of and later proceeded with coming up with a rough body mesh of the character, the detailed mesh of the character and the final character with outfit/props.

REFLECTION

Working on this character design assignment was a really interesting yet a really difficult process. It taught me many things about creativity and storytelling but it was also very stressful as it was the first time i was using the 3d modelling software. In the start few weeks it was really difficult for me to understand the concept and how i can execute it in 3d. At first, I thought creating a character was just about looks and aesthetics, but through this, I learned that how important it is to mentain the structure of the character. It was the last week when i finally got done with this character after alot of redos and trial and errors. It was created in a hastle as i was near the deadline when i had to complete the character. I am not really satisfied with it, i felt i could make it better and more apealing and during this process, I improved my storytelling skills and also designed a character that feels both real and believable. Each step of the development, from rough sketches to refined character, showed me how the character improved in each step. Also the weekly feedbacks helped me on improvements and process guidance. Overall, this assignment helped me grow in both creativity and technical understanding about characters and storytelling.
