The background for my model sheets is finished along with my front, back and side view of my character so my targets in those areas that I set last week have been met. Now it is my intention to edit the text of the backstory in illustrator, note which pantone colors are used in the color scheme and print off the finished model sheet by the end of today. I have to get this done so that I can make changes to my essay, finish rigging my 3D character as well as update my making of guide.
In other words it will be a weight off my shoulders and I can have it at the ready to hand in.

Painting the front view of my character was tricky because replicating the painting style took a long time and meticulous brush detail.




In other news, I finished welding my characters body together, now I'm left with the feet and head to attach but in the meantime I started the ominous task of rigging.







                                                                      Rigging the spine


Rigging the arms and legs (at least attempting to!)


Making adjustments to line up the skeleton inside the characters body



Last week was spent with me worrying over the rigging of my character without actually being able to start it until the weekend, I'm concerned that I won't get it finished in time for the deadline since I will need a lot of help to get it done right despite the detailed handout the class has been given to guide us through the complicated process.
Today I will try to get as much of the rigging done as possible because these last few days are crucial. My mental wellbeing depends on it!! :)

Besides rigging I intend to finish and print off my making of guide for my 2D and 3D characters, bind my essay, finalize any sketches to hand in on Friday.
The week after the hand in, I will do research on contemporary 3D artists and post it here. This target was meant to be met last week but due to the amount of work I've been occupied with I had to prioritize   in terms of what needed to be handed in when. As a result one of my targets will be late.
