Unit 6: Commission- Quick Maya cancer cells

Just a little experiment on Maya in attempting to create a chibi style Cancer Cell (Thanks for the suggestion Sammy!! :D) I've made one here just to see would the style work on 3D instead of 2D, I've just duplicated one model and inverted its colour. I hope to use bright colours to show the good and bad cells.

Unit 6: Commission- New beginning and idea

Wow!! It's kinda scary thinking that time has gone by really quick and to be already in the last unit of this year! After being given the Unit 6 brief introduction a few weeks back in the middle of Unit 5, we were introduced to  Dr Peter Klappa who taught us about the process of cells which can either lead to aging process or cancer. These were the two topics that we had to choose from as they're the most talked about topic within these few years.


So I have chosen to do "Malignant Neoplasm of Nasopharynx"!!


...Long name but basically it is cancer that is found around the Sinus area (back of the nose).


I thought this would be something interesting to look at because apparently  this form of cancer is most commonly found among Asian people. 


However audience wise I might go for a younger audience and as for art style wise, I'm thinking of doing them in a cartoon style but this still needs more thinking!

Major Blog Revamp!!

Ta-Da!! Just thought about the whole "look smart" idea made me do some major revamp to the blog and change from the "cat sitting on the cloud" look.The whole image shows the units from this year from unit 1 with the zebra right down to unit 5's penny farthing. Hopefully by the end of unit 6 I can add another "icon" to the image!! ^_^

Myopic Penny Farthing cycle- test 2

Hellos!! Hope everyone's having a good Easter, I'm posting another penny farthing cycle with some changes made. After speaking to Tutor Phil and Animation Meg the bike needed more dynamism on the wheels and the bike frame. Meg pointed out that within the cycle there is a rhythm of how things or parts move, which at first, my cycle's parts all have rhythms different from each other. She mentioned that I should think of how vehicles travel and perform a sudden stop- causing a jerky like effect as since the bike's wheels are dented, it would perform in this way. So here is the newly fixed cycle and the pedals in the right direction! ^_^
