Changes in Execution (Visuals) -- Final Project

I have done quite a number of sketches and have finalize my works.

Here are my works with colours:

These are just the digital drawings, the sculpture are not shown here. Will take photos of them and upload shortly. 

Changes made in Final Project

Do. Observe. Refine!

Based on the reactions that I had observed during the final presentation, I realized that I was a bit out of focus on my project and turns out the message was failed to being convey. Therefore, I have decided to filter through all the things that I have done and give more focus on the final visual outcome and message.

Poster Design 

Problems found:
1. Focusing on the sculpture making too much, lacking in communicating the message

2. The 5 situations that I wanted to depict by using my sculptures, content wise, it's neither 100% accurate nor even applies to real life situations (How can I inspire people when I can't even inspire myself)

New ideas are out and sketches will be out pretty soon! till then. 

Visual Journal - No Where to be Found

Visual Journal Unable To Locate

This is the worst news of the semester after spending the entire semester to work on my journal, even if there are progress posted up here on this blog but the visual sketches that I produced are all gone. It might take quite some time to come out with another complete set of text and images, but I will do my best and within the time constraint to produce a summary of my final project.

My identity design had to be redesign as the previous identity does not match my works that I have included inside my portfolio book.

Final Project

It's been a while now...

The final projects are finally over but there's not much time to rest as time is very limited and everyone is working hard in preparation for the graduation exhibition that is going to be held at the end of April. For now, I will post the final outcome of my final project here.

Interesting work

Sculpture Colouring - Reference Hunting

Currently sculpture is at a stage whereby I can start colouring them already, images have been taken and will be posting them up soon.

For now, check out this website

I like the way he paints his colour onto the sculpture, simple yet eye-catching. And the size of his sculptures are big, therefore leaving his enough space to carve out almost every single little details. Awesome work

Visual Experimentation Progress

After Critique Session

After the last critique session on the sketches for my sculptures, feedbacks that I received was:

1. Human Characters are being too normal and confined, in a way that I am just limiting my thoughts of a human character should look just like an average, normal looking human being

2. From a 2D sketches to a 3D sculptures, that is one challenge that I need to work them out

3. Time limitation, due to my lack of experiences and skills in clay sculpturing, improvement on the visual outcome can be done but not within a short amount of time, therefore at the moment, I am still exploring methods to produce my sculptures in the best outcome possible.

So I went online and check for interesting sculptures design and this is what I have stumbled upon.

Salao Coboi referred his characters to creatures, but the interesting part is that he got his inspirations from high end fashion images or catwalks.

Personal thoughts: 

I think that the reason he did in characters in such a way is because perhaps he does not go along to the method of perception that fashion designers perceive their models should be like, like the usual cutting edge kind of look, therefore he came out with a grotesque, creature kind of appearance to grab audience's attentions. Maybe this is the emotional thoughts that he wants people to "feel" from his works. 

Reflecting back to my feedbacks, I think in my character making, this is what I am lacking of. From the idea/ concept that I came up with, I should do my characters in a way that not just the colour mood that gives people the emotion, but through my character designs, people can feel the emotion of the personality that will be portray in my 5 sculptures.
