Outline of Gothfly

The last two weeks in our Friday morning sessions with Simon, we have been working on character design and Adobe Illustrator. Although these aren't finished, I felt it was high time that some progress images went up on here.

To start off we were told to write 3 numbers from 0-4 down, no repeates. So I chose 4, 3 and 2. This ended up as 4 eyes, 3 legs and 2 arms. I was also given an 80's goth steryotype to work with. This was very fun to generate ideas for.

The first stage we went through was generating body shape designs. These were my initial drawings:

We then had to choose three shapes that we really liked. I chose 1, 7 and 10. We were then asked to start to add features of the stereotype that we were given to our monsters, so here are those shapes with a bit of a Goth makeover: 

Then we had to add detail to our final design. I ended up choosing the fly character. This is her after she was cleaned up in Illustrator:

She will be gaining some colour and some more detail next week, so keep your eye peeled, she might just be heading your way sometime soon!
