character back story

for my character back story i figured i would start with something along the line of a rogue man who tries to find out who killed a family member (somewhat cliche i know) but with a sci-fi twist of a sort so i figured that this character would be chasing this person who killed his wife and goes on an event filled chase to find this person and get revenge and at the same time find out why this person murdered his wife.

At the climax of the chase when the character finally catches this person only to find out that this person is in fact himself from the future and the reason he killed his wife is to get revenge on her because what the character doesnt know is that his wife has been planning on stealing his money and running away with someone else so the character originally goes back in time to murder his wife in a vengeful act once the future  version of the character confesses this all to his past self he immediately commits suicide knowing that he will be found out by local authorities.

the past version of the character then begins to question whether or not this is true and begins to do some research into his accounts and spying on his wife and as confessed by is future self she is in fact cheating on him, during his investigation he bumps into an old friend who is in fact a professor and has stumbled upon the secret of time travel, through the use of a small watch like device the user can travel back in time but it is not finished as the user will not be able to return to the present filled with anger and one thing on his mind he steals the device to go back in time and murder his wife and so the cycle continues.......

digital sculpture reference material

here is the main source of reference i've been using for my digital sculpture mainly because the muscle anatomy is very accurate and has been the best source of reference for my sculpture

task 3: body study

Our third task was to do 3 individual drawings of the torso one of the front, one of the side and one of the back showing muscle tension and bone structure.

the front profile I drew I decided to draw from memory and the other two I drew from  individual references. I wanted to try and do one from memory purely because I figured i was confident enough due to my previous years in life drawing and i was confident in my knowledge  of basic anatomy and bodily structure

task 2 artists and style

Task 2: artists influence

for task two I was asked to draw a part of the human body in the style of an artist of our choosing. I went for Roy Lichenstein because he has always been a one of my personal favorite artists and a lot of his work involves alot of face and hand studies so i decided to simply draw out one of his earlier pieces instead of trying to do a drawing in the style of.

task 2 prep: drawing using influence

For our second task sam has asked us to pick an artist of our choice and draw a pose in the style of that artist I should really be careful as to who i choose because I don't really want to be boring and go for an obvious one like picasso or salvidor dhali I'd like to think that Damien Hirst would be an artist that I would like because he's so unorthadox in his work and i'd like to think that I have that kind of nature when it comes to my artwork but this is of course subject to change.

task one: drawing poses

Here was our first task for our first week we had to draw poses of our choosing from various online sources my personal choice was www.posemaniacs.com because they had a surprisingly varied amount of different poses here are two of mine that I drew
