Final Project - Pipeline Workshop - Summer 2016

This is Keya, she was the first character I started working on full time after deciding to do character modeling and she is where I experimented with a lot of the character art pipeline for more realistic characters for the first time.

This character overall I would say was a failure as a product. She isn’t finished enough and comes across a little bland and her facial anatomy is totally wrong which resulted in her looking a bit weird. 

That said I don’t think the project was a waste of time by any means. I learned a TON during this project and I continue to learn from it in retrospect. A couple huge mistakes I made were: not giving her face enough time, not getting feedback from enough people, I didn’t leave enough time for building her props,  and I underestimated how hard realistic characters are. 

Some thing I did right: I scoped pretty well, I chose the bodysuit design to make the character more straight forward and that worked, my pipeline overall was a good one and I was able to tweak it after this process. 

So overall this project was hard and it hurt to not be successful with it in the time I had but I learned some valuable lessons from it that helped me over the next semester. 

There is a lot of process and technical information on how this character was built that I don't have the time or space to put here. I will hopefully do a post on my character pipeline in the future that will cover this.
