Creating characters for the game. - models

These are models that i have made and painted. as it was my first time experimenting the material and the surface texture, some other models were not as good as the media chosen was not as good.

i began using acrylic paint on the vinyl models, it didn't work as well as expected - the paint did not stick to the material, maybe the model needed priming.



I then tried using a different media - graphic markers. this worked better but the ink had to be left to dry before working onto the next step.

i think these models works well due to it really have developed their own personality, the colour, shapes and   objects have made them individual and unique almost like a human. Because of this the models work very well with lots of space, it really grabs peoples attention.

This was a new way for me to express art and illustration, for some models i stopped thinking of the model as being a character but as paper, - as if the 3D model is a piece of paper and i am illustrating on it. A different form of expressing art.

I also took these models and photographed, i wanted to use them as advertising pieces as they really had they own uniqueness and their own personality. You can tell some are more angry, some are more friendly. this is all down to the colour, the pattern, the weapon, the emotions of how their facial features are expressed etc.

To transfer these 3D to 2D and see how they might work as illustrations and photography.
