The Radiantly Mad King - Week 4

Design Document and Presentation

This week I spent a lot of time putting together the design document and presentation for our pitch following the completion of the pre-production phase. In addition to that, I did more designs for the guard, the queen, and a bit for the steward. These are all compiled nicely into the custom made design document pages that I'll post here.

As usual, I put a lot of time into the project but wasn't necessarily that efficient with it. I've been doing a poor job of knowing when to call it quits for the night and the effectiveness of my work falls off around 3 o'clock in the morning. Anyway, here's my time:

1:00 - Listing characters by importance. Listing assets needed for them and the environment. Listing materials. Describing the stage.

1:00 - Armor design, research, and drawing techniques.

2:30 - Sketching the guard posed and with his latest armor.

1:00 - Adding to the character card sketches (the guard's armor and fixed arm proportions)

0:30 - Fixing the king on the character card sketches.

1:00 - Reading the "Dynamic Figure Drawing" book.

1:00 - Creating color swatches for most of the characters on the character card sheet.

0:30 - Character design research.

1:30 - Buying nice clothes for the presentation.

8:00 - Compiling everything into a design document. Being generally slow about it.

2:00 - Coming up with a presentation in the wee hours of the morning.

0:30 - Updating blog.
