INSTRUCTIONS

To-Do List:

• Create call sheet for each character
• Create splash art/key art for each character
  

Week 13

I worked on refining my model further by sculpting the details onto the armor and adding other details that I couldn't in Project 2. At least it didn't take too long to finish it.

Week 14

I drafted out the key artworks for my characters. For Zamira (protagonist), I wanted to recreate the all-out attack CG scene because I really liked the aesthetics. For Qi (companion), I decide to refer to one of the official artworks for Persona 5.

I also started working on the turnarounds for Zamira and Kyohebi (antagonist).

Week 15

I mostly worked on rendering the splash art and turnaround, while compiling everything else in my presentation slides. I didn't have time to create an entirely new artwork for Kyohebi, so I ended up combining her idle pose with the interior set I've done in Environment Design.

FEEDBACK

Week 14

Quickly work on your turnaround, and do your best for your splash art. It's an important component as it is a determining factor if your concept will sell or not.

REFLECTIONS

If there's anything I got out of this experience, it's that I work slower than I expected myself to. Since this module is paired with Environment Design, I was working on both of them at the same time. To be exact, it's because I have more than one illustration to work on that it derailed my plans to finish it at top quality. I managed to produce something, but I know I could've done better than this. I also realised it takes me around 6 hours to produce one illustration, which is considerably a lot of time for a painting that I felt like I could do better. A lesson learned— do not underestimate my workload and must properly manage my own time.
