Chess Piece design

Making chess piece for my second Assignment ( BVA 142)

Prototype 1.

I have a concept of making a temple-like structure in Maya. Since I'm using Maya for the first time, I might struggle to execute it properly. I will stick with only basic instructions.



This is a simple prototype which I'd like to consider it as a Bishop in Chess. I have drawn using paint tools in Microsoft Windows since I don't have the luxury to draw in Wacom and I don't carry smartphones.
It has two wheels and cannot move of its own. It resembles more like a cart but Its structure is like a temple.
I'm very excited to print it as a 3d object. I think this prototype can be easily created for beginner 3d artists like myself.

Week 15

Adobe InDesign.
page set up for printing.

Kaleidoscope

Working on Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope 1

Learning Corel Pinter is completely new for me. And I'm glad that we have been taught this semester.
Here is the final output of my Kaleidoscope.



For this image, I simply dissolved the black background for a different look. And I'm satisfied with this one. originally this image would look like this,



I started with very basic drawing with various brush strokes for different color selection.

Kaleidoscope 2

This is my second painting for my portfolio. I wanted to try a different style of painting with some vibrant colors. This is the first painting I've done so far on the computer. My experience is not bad at all. It's very convenient to draw and software tools are very effective. Especially with Adobe Corel Painter, I feel comfortable using it.

I will try to implement all the tools and techniques that have been taught in class in my future endeavors.

Working on my digital paintings.

I try to imagine and create this image as I go along,
Lots of erasing and correction were made in the process.

For this image, I got the concept from cartoon movies and some of the good sample of digital paintings done by professionals online. Here I have added some rocky mountains with trees. and I decided to put the sun, which will be creating some hazy sort of scene.
Later I painted with some color. and here is my color palette for this particular image.

   

After completing with a painting I get this image, 

This is how far I have gone till now. and I still need to work on other digital paintings as my part of the assignment. For a bit up taste, I have put some Uniform grain and zoom the front mountain a little.

Some of my inspirational image from the website are as follows:

Assessment I

Preparation of Assessment I

Mountains and jungles where temples and other infrastructures are located.
This would be more like compositing and matte painting, that it would like to
learn in Photoshop.

Magician and legendary filmmaker Georges Méliès used the matte painting technique in many of his films. "In his 1898 film Un Homme de Têtes – Four Heads Are Better Than One. Méliès would use a glass pane painted black to create a matte. When shooting on film, the black matte kept light from reaching the camera. Since a portion of the film was not exposed to light,
it would leave part of the frame empty."

In-depth, It should look realistic in terms of a perspective view, color grade,
Lens distortion

Matte Painting: A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location.
