Progress Report #7
Everything is still being put together which is a sign that the video is almost finished. I should have it done before the end of Week 15. Earlier I was asked how was I gonna deliver this video. My choices that I have come up with was either posting it onto YouTube or Instagram.
Eventually I decided on posting the self discovery video onto Youtube. I will have the link to the new YouTube account posted onto my Tumblr page shortly. Anyway here is picture I took of myself for the Senior Bio.
Progress Report #6
There really isn't much time left before I need my project completed, but I shouldn't really worry that much since I am pretty much almost done! Within the last week, I have been able to finish recording myself drawing a character as a demonstration of how I design my characters.
I was going to put what I recorded in this post, but unfortunately the file was impressively large and it wouldn't let me. I was able to find a work around and take a few pictures of some of the scenes in the recording as a way of a sneak peak.
I have a spot in the video plan for it too. With that done, all I just need to do is just put everything I have together to make my self discovery video complete. There are still few things I still need to record though, mostly voice overs, but besides that everything should be good right now. I do still have my other classes to keep track of along side making sure this Senior project gets done, I'm doing my best to stay afloat.
Progress Report #5
There isn't much time left, but I haven't gotten a lot of Senior Project work left. Just to cover what I am planning to do for my senior project, my big deliverable is going to be a Self-Discovery Video. A video that talks about my journey of how I discovered Character design, what role does character designing have in video games, what I have learned about it, and while talking about these topics, I will show how I design my characters. During the progress of my work for the deliverable, I decided to add one more step and actually color my sketches to show the final step of my character designs. As shown here
As for the other steps, I am doing alright. I still need to create a scene of me drawing a character in front of the camera to show how I design my characters. I have even decided to add one more scene into my video where I actually color the new sketch to show the completion progress. I gotta be honest with you things in my project could have been more quicker, but Im kind of under a bit of stress with dealing with a bunch of other classes as they're nearing to the end. I will still find a way to make things smoother before the time comes to present my big project.
Progress Report #4
For the past two weeks, I am still working hard as always. Now that I finished with created the necessary amount of new sketches for the project, it was now the time for me to work on the storyboard, the scripting and soon the recording of my voice for the video. Things are starting to be going good on the progress. I am not quite down finalizing the storyboard and script
I do have some problems that I may encounter during the project progress. The problems pretty much remain the same, as the progress as my style of progressing is not fast and one more thing, I do often get blocked a lot and can’t think of anything. That is why I limited my amount of new sketches to five. My classmates gave me that suggestion because they didn't want me to bite off more than I can chew.
I am still only in pre-production phase since I still need continue planning a script, storyboard, and organization of the video, before actually recording I plan to work on more for the next few weeks, and there will be more posts later about the progress on my project for my self discovery video. Another note, the colored sketches here are the main characters of my series and I may post the colored versions of the sketches I have done soon.
Progress Report #3
For the past two weeks, I am still working hard as always. I am almost done making sketches that will be used for my examples of my art style when drawing my characters. I still have yet to create the amount of new character designs I need, create the storyboard, plan out the organization of how the video will play out, record my own voice as well as the Demonstration Video. I still have my due dates set for each of my objectives for the project. Next after the sketches will be the storyboard making.
I do have some problems that I may encounter during the project progress. The problems pretty much remain the same, as the progress I have on making more sketches of characters is a bit slow, as my style of progressing is not fast and one more thing, I do often get blocked a lot and can’t think of anything. I managed to at least get another page of new sketches and I also found more old sketches I found in my storage.
I am still only in pre-production phase since I still need to create enough character sketches before I move on to the actual good stuff. Such as planning a script, storyboard, and organization of the video. I plan to work on more for the next few weeks, and there will be more posts later about the progress on my project for my self discovery video.
Progress Report #2
Everything is slowly staring to come together now that we are now 1/4 through the Senior Project Semester. This honestly is making me nervous as I now see that 1/4 of the semester has already gone by and I still have much to do.
What makes me less worried is that I have strengthened my workback plan for the Senior project complete with deadlines and everything I have in plan for what I will do when creating the self-discovery video.
I still have been working the sketches will be used for my examples of my art style when drawing my characters. I still have yet to create the amount of new character designs I need, create the storyboard, plan out the organization of how the video will play out, record my own voice as well as the Demonstration Video. This will be a lot of work for the many weeks ahead, but thankfully I set myself due dates for each of these objectives.

Progress Report #1
For the past few weeks I have got started by working on some of my own characters. Most of them are sketches and a few of them are now fully colored and digitized.
What will happen in the next few weeks is that I have more sketches of some example characters as well as what I have planned for the major parts of the self discovery video.
The characters I have on the sketches will not be used for the demonstration segment of the video, These characters will be used for my examples of my art style when drawing my characters. What I plan to do for the demonstration segment is that I will record myself drawing a version of one of my existing characters, first on paper and then I will digitize it on the computer by outlining it and then coloring it.
I do have some problems that I may encounter during the project progress. The progress I have on making more sketches of characters is a bit slow, as my style of progressing is not fast and one more thing, I do often get blocked a lot and can't think of anything. These sketches here in fact are some of the first drawings I have done in a while since the last few months I couldn't think of anything to draw.
Since this only the first few weeks, I am not that far through my progress timeline, but I plan to make good progress for the next few weeks. Besides the sketches, I have began planning a script and plan of the video. This includes what I plan to say and what sequences will play out as the video goes on. The script and plan is not yet complete so that too I plan to work on more for the next few weeks There will be more posts later about the progress on my project for my self discovery video
Hey everyone! My name is Evan Arita. I am a senior at UH West Oahu and this is my fifth and last year as well as my final semester. I am currently trying to get my Bachelors degree in Creative Media in the Video Game Design concentration. My research topic for my Senior Project is the Role of Character Design in Video Game Storytelling. Discovering how the design of a video game character can affect how the story goes in a video game, looking over the methods in designing characters, and learning about the challenges character designers might face in future and the present are some of the big parts of my research that can be worth sharing with others. By doing this project I could potentially help people who are designing characters improve the way they design characters. How I hope my research will help me is that I can vastly improve my skills in character designing and eventually make my designs meaningful in a game story if one day my designs are used in a video game. My greatest hope after graduating college is to eventually find a position where I can design characters for video games and even design video games myself too, using my own characters and stories.
