Pwoop, Luna got some plate and color now. Finished the texturing today. Took me a whole afternoon because my tablet was freaking out all the time.
Updated my driver in the end, and it looked like my pen wasn't that oversensitive anymore.
I personally Like the colors, I took the same copper color as I did for Sol for the hair.
However Sol's jacket got the same color as his hair so I gave Luna the same color for her breast and skirt as her hair will be, dark red.
I hope the wood version will be finished tomorrow.

  First thumbnail of a setting: the wooden tower catching the sunlight and reflecting it.

This is the second design of the tower, the one in the thumnail was a bit too wide.
-> This is what I came up with next. I made some kind of Aquaduct irigation system to lead the water out of the tubes away from the tower.
Also I made a system consting of ropes and cranes on top of the tower to turn the mirror.

Next I made the tower higher and smaller and gave some more detail to it, still in black-gray     <-



When I was happy with the shape I started to paint in short strokes.
I chose different colors of wood to paint it and try to work with a light and shadow side. So this is how the tower looked first without any setting around it.







Looking back to the tumb I started to sketch the setting roughly around the tower and this is what I came up with.

   In the end I am still facing one big problem. Somehow the size of my painting blew up till 15000x9000 in the original file, I have no idea how that happened though.
 I had to shrink it a lot to be able to post it here.
So I probably have to paint over it to get rid of the blurryness between the different elements.

But I am still pretty happy with the result.

New update from today. I finished the mechanical version of Luna (the lineart at least).

The hair was really tricky to do and I had quiet some trouble with finding a way to make her haircut look like her wooden version.
I came up with a bowed metal plate on her forehead and her tails are tubes comming out of 2 small pipes on her head.
Also since she wasn't wearing any jacket of some kind her parts are visible. The boots weren't easy either. I didn't want her to have the big steady feet Sol had, After all it still has to be a girl robot.
So now she's ready for plating.

Updated the painting of the tower as well. I had to put more green from the rocks on it, I refined the edges and gave the tower more greenish color.

Time for another update.

I finished the robotversion of Sol and after revision the color of the metal jacket changed and I brought up some highlights to give a more chrome feeling.

The finished version of Sol, the boy character for my final test.
The texturing took a while, but i'm pretty happy with the result.
The colors might still change a bit, but thats for later.
 I'm looking forward to making a mechanic version.

 

A while ago we had to build a maquette of a tower out of foamboard. This is my finished tower, the ball on top of it is supposed to become a crystal, reflecting all light.
Now we have a new assignment and we had to create an environment for the tower to stand in.
With a lot of picture cutting and pasting I created this grayscale concept.
This concept is going to be the basic for a painting we have to make of our tower.

After another revision my teacher changed the values and the colours a bit. The purple bugs where a bit to soft and needed more glow.
I like how the new color key is looking right now.

This is the first textured design for the robot rabbit.
The textures are all going to grayscale and get a uniform color.
But I already like this version as well. It makes me think of a rabbit someone put together out of scrap metal pieces.

 This was a first new design for the rabbit. It was too organic and we wanted to go more to the wooden doll designs like we had for the characters.









So I changed the design and this is what came out of it. The design for the wooden rabbit.

I also tried making a robot version of the rabbit and i thikn it worked out pretty well. If I may believe my classmates at least.
