Link Project 002

Back in August I attended Siggraph (a conference for computer graphics), and talked to some recruiters. Some advice I got was adding some live action work to my demo reel. So, I started planning out a live action project. I figured  this would also give me a good chance to work on my generalist skill set and let me explore some things I haven't tried before.
First off, I threw around some ideas of what I wanted to do and ended up settling on creating a Legend of Zelda fan art piece. Here is my concept.

All it states is what I require to create the piece, and I made some quick doodles of what I want to happen.

So with my concept done, I started gathering resources. I really like the way that the wind waker link looks, so I made that my main reference for my model.

So now that I had my main reference, I started the modeling process. Even though I really like the look of my reference, I adapted the character model to my own style. I also wanted to make it a little more realistic to fit the live action setting.

Well that's it for now, thank you for reading and I hope you look forward to the next post.
