Team Fortress characters

Here are my concepts for my character project. I chose the team fortress project which requires creating two characters of different age, ethnicity and body type.




They are pretty basic at the moment but I may add more details (weapons, accessories etc) depending on how much time I have later on.

Mechanical character with background

I never got round to making a background for this character last term but I really like him so I think he still deserves one.

Before




After



None of the background was actually drawn or painted; just a few shapes, gradients and filters. It's not something I wanted to spend a long time on and I think the simplicity of the background benefits the more detailed character. However I may come back to it again soon.

Environment project - photos

I chose the garden project.







It's not exactly a garden but there are some interesting textures going on here. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes me to model those wheelie bins seeing as it took me about 6 weeks to model one in the first year. Mind you that was the first 3D model I'd ever attempted.
