War of the Worlds - Alien Tripod
I knew we was going to have to model it so I got it done before the task had even been set this has allowed me to get on with other work, like my personal work and other outstanding bits I haven’t done yet. I’ve found more time to do more personal work this week and focus on my final pieces.
Coming back to the tripod though I found that when I was modelling it, something’s didn’t go as I had planned and drawn out and found myself having to redesign some of the structure of it on paper. Following this I took the time to make these adjustments on the model and I was quite happy with the outcome.
The assessments are coming up shortly and I’m nervous, I’ve been thinking about it for weeks and I get more panicky as it draws closer. I think it’s fair to say that I have done a lot more work than I had achieved this time last year and also the quality is a lot better (I believe).

Christmas is just around the corner which I’m looking forward to, but it’s not all going to be fun and games as there’s work to be done. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to do a lot of personal work over the holiday break in all areas of the course. I know I probably won’t come out with amazing grades, but I am trying hard, a lot harder than last year that’s for sure. Last year I was doing the work given to us and hardly did any personal work. This year it’s a different story, I said I’m going for it and I am sticking to it. I said earlier that each week I was going to keep drawing fruit each week and also keep a sketch book or personal where I’m drawing things in perspective and I have been doing it. I’ve been placing still life object and drawing them to perspective, I want to explore perspective more however by getting out more and drawing the built environment, which I’ve done for my urban project but would like to try and do more for my personal work.
A year ago at my first assessment I was told to do more work, I took this as doing more of the work given to us not as personal work... In which I spent my Christmas re-doing everything which didn’t get me anywhere in the end as I had done all the mandatory work up to date, I did all this extra work and didn’t gain anything for it by the time I got my results in July, which I was annoyed about. I wish I had spent it doing personal work but because I miss interoperated my feedback I did it all for nothing... This is why this year I’m making sure I’m finding time for extra work, I just hope the extra work reflects in my grades...
I want to spend this Christmas tweaking stuff and doing personal work in all the modules of the course. In 3D this week we were continuing with the Mortal Engines self portrait project, I’m doubtful that it’ll be finished by the deadline, I’m trying but I’m having the same problems that came up in the gladiator project. I’ve spent way too much time already on the head that still doesn’t look right and finding it hard to set up my camera to get good pictures of myself. I think 3 weeks on this is not long enough, considering we have to make a high and low poly version. One I’ll most likely be coming back to, I mean there’s only ONE person on our course who I know wants to be a character Artist, hardly anyone likes characters, I think it’s because they are complex to model.
