Adaptation: Monster plushies photo shoot day

On Monday, my monster plushies have gone to have their very own professional photo shoot  I was pretty nervous at this as photography isn't one of my best areas, but hey I gave it a go just for fun and to make these look as pro as I can. The results of these were really amazing comparing to the photos I've taken at home previously. Many special thanks to Robbie Munn for helping me out with this!!

Adaptation: Group Pose!!

Finally I've got them together for a group pose!! Since the crit presentation, I've been spending a bit of time to finally gather up the characters, made some quick rigs and finally pose them just like its 2D concept counterpart. I really did enjoy playing around with De-Dak's arms- they're soo huge! I had to enlarge the room a little as it wasn't big enough for five, but the results of this look pretty awesome!! :D

Adaptation: Art of- Book Ordering Preview

I thought it would be really cool to turn my art of document into a book. Before ordering, I just want to make sure that everythings looks fine. If yous could check it out and let me know your thoughts please!!

Unfortunately I don't have after effects to get the cool awesome glowy effect, but I did manage to boost the colours up a bit with a few more effects on Premiere.

Adaptation: MONSTER PLUSHIES!!

I had to keep it a secret before the crit (sorry guys!!) just to keep everyone on their toes with me walking around with a box, but since the crit presentations all done, I'v been too excited to share this that my characters have been made into soft plushies!! These were awesomely made by Erikka from Canada- a massive thank you for all your hard work!!:D

Adaptation: CD Cover art and front art

Here are the Disk cover designs. I've made two versions- the crayon theme and the photoshop theme. I ended up going for the photoshop version since I think it looks much better and more colourful. :D

Adaptation: Dedak furs complete

Putting the furs on Dedak have been completed just a couple of days ago but I didn't get the chance to post them up after running around setting up renders in preparation for the monsters turnaround. So with the rendering happening, here is Dedak in its fur glory. His fur at the moment appears a little glittery but this will be fixed with the lighting when it comes to his turnaround. :D
