The first few lesson we learnt different tools and ways of creating different and cool designs. Our first idea was creating simplistic faces and robotic style faces, it was a tiring lesson as drawing mentally drains me specially when its bad but i pushed through and created badly drawn face. After this lesson we created expressions we were asked to draw the 8 basic expressions and mix and match them to make other emotions which was fun exercise. This really helped my character customizing later. We went on to creating an snowflakes, badges and business cards which was a great way to learn the programs such as Photoshop and illustrator.
The final piece of work we did was actually designing and creating our characters this took a lot of thinking and designing and took up majority of the time. My original idea was to create somewhat of a bear/shark hybrid as I thought it was a funny idea how ever that became troublesome and I couldn't make it so I stuck with creating a shark humanoid which I personally thought came out good. As for my villain I wanted to create a penguin in a suit wearing a top hat and a monocle, due to my in ability to draw penguins and suit, I decided to get a picture of a suit and outline and fill in black then create all the details by hand and I did the same with the penguin head I think it came out rather amateurish but its the best I could do. As for the world we had to choose from talking trees too 90% water or an ice-cream world, i decided to chose the water one seeing as ice is a sold state water it still counts, i like how the back ground came out although there is alot more i could of added such as rivers or water breaks in the ice but never got round to doing it.
