Review of the last week- 19th-26th January

The week before we arranged as a group (Diogo, Fahran, Kofi, Clym and myself) to meet on 12^th

January, Diogo didn't turn up and he was guy who was assigned the layout and buildings designs, so one of our key players.

So near the end of the day I got us together to go over what our plan should be. We had to ask the questions of what happens if this becomes a consistent issue. So we made a contingency plan just in case Diogo didn't pull his weight.

So basically all of use would design some buildings, thereby spreading the weight.

I was set for this week to come up with a couple more statue concepts, some building designs (part of the contingency plan), some rotten fruit concepts and maybe start basic modelling of a statue.

Another thing that has come up was that I went away with the weekend, and I didn't get any work done which has put me back in terms of producing work. So because of this I haven't done any fruit, building concepts nor any basic modelling.

What I also haven't done is send out the notes we made, which has meant the other group members cannot use it. So, again I do not feel that I am utilising my time properly nor do I think I am producing enough work. Tasks are becoming increasingly longer to do and they are increasing in quantity which has meant that going away for the weekend and other things that are taking up my time are becoming more and more of a problem for production.

I do however, feel that I am relying more on my ical to do list method which has helped me be more disciplined. And this has also helped in me doing some work for my other project (compositing).

So because I lost last weekend 22nd-24th January. I will continue with designing the statues and then later today after college I will add the rotten material look and vines to my statue designs.

Then once I have done that I will do work for my compositing project.

Here are a couple more concepts pieces that I have done. In order to reduce the amount of modelling and increase efficiency I'm going duplicate some of the models so you have one either side of the entrance and the path leading to the fountain (see praying statue in previous blog entry for an example).

I altered face and neck because the neck was too long, after I had altered the dimensions of neck and face, mouth was in the wrong place.

Quick sketches in photoshop to get the over all pose and dimensions. I then started adding more detail. This I would classify as an alternative to 1st praying statue (please see below).
