Sketchbook: Charlottje

Charlottje

Bash on my work, PLZ. :]

Critique requested and wanted, definitely need to improve on a whole array of subjects.

For people interested,
I'm currently just a student DAE @ Belgium, where I study a sort of game-design curriculum, where I'll hopefully learn to make awesome character concepts and so on and so forth. Pretty much still residing at the noob-level.
So please help me get better :]

I don't have a lot of AWEsome work to begin posting with,
so I'll dump a loadful on y'all of some older stuff. Next post will be newer, I promise :]

Charlottje

@Ravenslayer: Oh look what the tractor dragged in.
OH BAM. SHAZIZZLE.

I like the crazy portraits and the birthday card:) Nice lively colors and expressions.

I like the environment as well, but I think if you picked out some areas of it, like the rocks in the forground, and the riversides and gave them some hard edges, it would make drastic improvements right away!

Charlottje

@Venficius: Thanks! I'll definitely try to clean that up... when I have time haha.

Haven't posted anything much yet because school's a real killer.

But sitting on the train is making me productive, thank god.
Me likey. :]

Currently busy with our assignment "Famous Head Sculpt", I chose Michael Caine.

EDIT:
This is what it became:

Worked some more on coloring in some lines:

See two posts above to see what I started with.

Cool blond eyebrows One thing I found kinda.. itchy.. is I think there is slighty something off with your perspective. It looks like you are looking the head from above and the body from a front. Maybe it because of the shading (I would darken the lighting on her neck and ad more highlight to her chest)or maybe it s just me.
Anyho..good work and keep it up!

Charlottje

Deformeds:bHmm you're right. Damn. But still fixable. :]
Will update.

Link to a (really) short video of my first 3D game-character, made for the game Flatliners together with our team, "Serious".
High-poly baked onto low-poly, textured, spec'ed and gloss'ed by me.
Facial Morphs done by me, Rigging and skinning done by Jhonie Aelbrecht.

Rotating shield.

Xoliul

Heh, why did you find the shield boring? Lots of fun stuff was possible with that, but yours does show you didn't really enjoy it.

Charlottje

Cuz' it's a shield. It's such a... macho manfilled assignment. I just couldn't find any inspiration to make an awesome concept, so it got boring pretty fast. Boring concept = boring shield Mostly my fault but hej, live and let live.
Although I did like Steven De Meyer's shield

Charlottje

Perspective is still being itchy.

PogoP

Keep up the good work! I really envy people with good 2d skills, that's what I need to practice!

Charlottje

Then practice, PogoP! I sure as hell need to practice those 3D-skillz ^^

Little tyke knight
Low-poly character for Hue-man, a Kick Me game

Texturing low-poly faces is horrible :'D

Charlottje

Skinned and biped-ed. :'D
Same for the cutey princess pie.

Texturing needs more work. >.<

Deadline for the game's tuesday, arghhlugluglu//drown.
