Assingments - Metamorphism, Character Design, Monsters and Montage.

Hey you lovely lot!

Sue, Dan and Dave said I can interlink this one altogether. Which is really handy since I do not even know where to start.

First of its Sue’s metamorphous which we had to pick a pet and a predator. Originally I wanted to do a mouse with an angler fish. Then it was a mouse and a bear but what we are going to do next would be too similar and no change. Lastly I had chosen a mouse and an alligator. I drew a character sheet for them both. 

The next stage of this metamorphous journey is the two animals I chosen and make them into a hybrid by doing the stages of transition. In all honesty I did struggle with this part because it needed to be on a bigger scale and I was trying to draw realistic like the other of my classmates were doing though I know now that is not my style since I draw in shapes. Plus if it was not for light boxes I do not know how I would complete this task. I had to draw the stages of transition, and I am quite proud on how well it turned out.

After doing my metamorphous I needed to pick a monster in the middle to do various poses, which is quite entertaining. Seeing my hybrid/monster jumping rope, skating a skate board, putting on a coat and pulling an arrow from a bow.

After the Teacher in Cave Dan set us to do character designing and draw a student. Once more anyone can look like a student. I had to do a lot of research on what students look like, how they style, wear they shop, I even looked on Teen Vogue and TSR to do my research.

I drew characters upon characters and I honestly weren’t happy with them until I thought why am I drawing girls that aren’t my size? So I scratched the thought of drawing girls into thin figures and done fuller figures with Evans help on body sizes and images of models and clothing. Looking more into research on the plus size market I used the Sprinkle of Glitter collection from Simply Be since Sprinkle of Glitter has a huge fanbase across on social media (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and Blog).

I draw my character with brown hair ombre into blonde (which is hopefully the hair colour I should be considering getting, keep an eye on my personal blog!)

Our recent, and last brief. It is where our hybrid monster and our student meets. We had to take pictures around our university and place though the characters need to interact with the scene that we chose.

I decided to use the univeristy printmaking room with the monster creating havoc by splashing the blue ink on the character (oh dear!) I wanted to make her face look annoyed whilst looking at the monster even though he is a little bugger!

I honestly didn’t like the process with photoshop, once more I felt the struggle with photoshop CS6. I just need to work on it more really. It is a tool that I need to get used too, and it is a tool that I need to find fun with. Sadly it's just not playing nice to me. 

Thank you for reading that really long blog post, and I hope you leave a comment. As always!

See you soon,

Alexandra
