Selected Assignment 01
I chose to complete our first assignment as the selected assignment 01 which is DMA Class project Self-Portrait with Technology. Initially, I was imagining myself as an avatar which looks bold and idealistic in a way to show these traits of mine. Firstly, I modelled an avatar as preliminary stage which used to look differently than it is right now because i was imagining those traits and reflecting in modelling stage differently. I decided not to proceed with that one eventually because of the advices and talks regarding this project with Ian at the tutorials. Basically, I wanted to come up with an avatar way more interesting and futuristic than the other one. At this point, I was inspired from an artist who works on organic and procedural materials by the help of Ian. I prepared an procedural materials on Blender to give my avatar idealistic and visually interesting appeareance. And then, I started to work on the body. Mostly worked with sculpting to create my avatar as bold and as futuristic as possible. Finally, i decided to not to take an image still render because i wanted to show this digital art installation as interesting as possible, that's why i decided to animate the material i had prepared before and add some music behind to give a vibe to the audience.
