So, I’ll let you in on a little secret))))

I created a 3D model of Angel as my final project for my graphic design course (killing two birds with one stone). I modelled it in Blender and rendered it in 3ds Max. It was an interesting experience, as I’d never modelled characters from Prime before (I’d never modelled any characters at all, actually😅), and I literally spent two months glued to my computer, fuelled by pure adrenaline. Having a well-thought-out sketch saved the day.

I never got round to the animation; I dropped the whole thing as soon as I handed in my dissertation. And the way I modelled her, it would be almost impossible to animate Angel (she’s too ‘heavy’), so I plan to rework and simplify her, then rig her (she’s just a stick figure at the moment), and only then will I try to create some art with her.

I hope to get back into 3D this year. My fingers are itching to get started, but I can’t remember a thing😭. I’ll have to learn everything from scratch; after all, it’s been two years since I finished the course...

In October 2021, another redesign attempt was made—purely cosmetic. Essentially, this was the first concept; I even jotted down a few notes about it (you don’t need to read them—it’s rubbish).

And about a year after the first concept sketch, I decided to rework it again and created the final version, which you saw in my final concept. I worked on the design in parts, then put it all together on the tablet and sketched out the colour palette.

Actually, I made the sketch with the intention of one day creating Ironangel in 3D. And... I did it😁
