DFA Characters

One of the earlier assignments from DFA, I had to make 7 different characters from abstract silhouettes, various textures,  and random word combinations.

Biome

The first project from my 3d class, I based it on a redwood forest.

Exploratory Sketches

For our prop assignment

Prop Ideas

Objects

• Sci Fi Staff
  • Would be broken up into separate parts
  • Could extend as the Anim In 
  • Area at the top would spin/rotate as the Loop
  • Retracts for the Anim Out
  • Would be used to kill enemies
• Umbrella Bazooka/Gun
  • Umbrella would open up
  • Bazooka area would recoil, then fire
• Whisk/Mixer Arm Cannon (?)
  • Two whisks at the end of an arm cannon
  • Whisks would rotate
  • Recoil to fire batter :/
  • Ideally would connect to a larger power/baking suit
    • Most likely powered by batteries
• Shielding Halo
  • Spinning halo that shields the character when in danger
• Engine/Flying Boots
  • Homemade flying boots that have engines taped to the back of them
  • Tube from engine would extend out for the Anim In
  • Push character upwards/hovers for the Loop
  • Tube would retract for the Anim Out
• Rocket Propelled Helmet
  • Helmet with small rockets attached to both sides
• Torpedo Backpack
  • Aquatic Backpac that fires a torpedo
• Cheap Fan "Jet"pack
  • Homemade flying contraption
  • Fan taped to a backpack
