Another update. Although I have a lot of my actual concept work done for my honours project from last semester, I really need to dig into the books and research before I begin designing. This is why I'm looking into typing parts of my dissertation before I actually go ahead and design my characters.
Why?
I feel my honours project is quite research heavy. Not only am I looking into the contextual elements that make good characters and villains, but I'm scouring for what makes a good character design too. I really feel I need to get more comfortable in these domains and have a wealth of knowledge in them before I go ahead and finalise my characters altogether. That way I can rest comfortably knowing that I've not rushed ahead trying to design characters, and instead thought carefully of the process in which they have been created and their relationships between one another.
Therefore, not a lot of artwork done recently, I'm still mainly writing. I'm practicing with Zbrush and meeting with Gordon and Gregor, keeping them up to date. I'm also toying with the idea of hopefully creating more than two character designs if I have the time, as I feel that this would bode me well especially when giving people questionairres and asking for feedback - having a wider array of villains or "rogue gallery" will allow my research to be fairer by allowing people to gauge which kind of villain they prefer.
