I began the first week of my final major project by planning out the rest of the project, I felt this was important because with the length of this project it could be easy to get stuck on one part for the majority of the project, and then rush the rest. I needed to make sure i knew what i was doing for every week.

This week really began when I started concepting, I gave myself a week to get all the ideas out of my head for what I wanted my characters to be.  For my Fmp I am going to created an alien rock band.

The band characters will be based heavily off music scenes that have strong and recognisable fashion and styles for example rock and roll, grunge, punk rock etc. Throughout the project I should explore a range of ideas that translates well into the characters. For the characters I should include


• At least 1 male - close to human proportions and anatomy 
• At least 1 female - close to human proportions and anatomy
• Display Material variation – metals, fabrics, skin, bones and fur

• Demonstrate a clear variation in body type, personality and given roles. (Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums)
• Experiment with costume design to create Unique characters
• Create a story that ties all characters together (look at items of clothing)
• Stretch goals, small environment/ diorama for presentation

First rough idea of what  was in my head for the band






Lead singer, a hologram, base of typical anime ideas, Inspired by the musician "Grimes"

Drummer, tough  and 6 armed 




Bassist, small/frog like

guitarist, basically an alien Jimmy Hendrix

The whole band togther
As you can see some character came out very quickly when others needed a lot more iteration, for my secound week I will be blocking these out quickly in zbrush, I feel this will be very beneficial because it means I can see as I start creating them up in 3D.
