As i said 'loosely' based on myself.

As i said previously, the model is loosely based on myself, this idea has really brought character development on by miles.
The head may be scaled up, and ehem ...certain parts of my scaled down, and the hair will be a good deal comically thicker to suit the designs ive had up until now.
Now i finally have a decently solid idea of the model/figure i can now plan and design objects and objects placement. As you can see in the digital renders to follow and the SKETCHBOOK, i choose a reflective, loving pose, to suit the emotive design of the character.

Things i havent designed or thought of until now ...
-WHERE the objects will actually be (i choose the dress because it was similar to the designs i was developing before the idea of me as a model came up, so i know i want the objects on the dress, but WHERE o the dress is a good question)
-WHAT she will be standing on, i mean shes a figure, will she have a scene or base, or platform?
-WHERE she will be, this includes size, i mean is she small enough to be on a fire place? or big enough to be in a city centre?
-HOW to visually portray a year.

Another idea i had recently is lights. Its one of the things i think often when i think of Derry, and lets face it its hard not to, between the glowing city at night, the Lumiere lights festival, the lit up landmarks ie peacebridge and guildhall. Mostly dim street lights, and the colourful peacebridge lights.
During brief one of this module, i designed and created a 3d character Veepees, whilst designing his environment i was able to experiment with lights and glow effects in the 3D Max, perhaps i could make parts of the model actually glow or light up ?
