Week 1- Basic Shapes

 Team Medusa- Block Out 

Our team wanted to go for an Arcane style. I feel I mostly emulated that with the hands rather than Medusas block-out although I did try and incorporate Arcanes blockish hair which tends to have main chunks and shapes rather than smaller strands. Next time I would block out the hair more, with larger cylinders and larger snake heads to have more of a blocked look. I tried to give the hands that rigged sharp look that Arcane has with its characters. 

Block-out for Medusa the interactable npc.

Block-out for the player character Perseus. 

He will also have a shield and sword in the VR experience.

Process:

I started by building the 2D sprite, which is what I ended up creating a blueprint for, along with the moving parts the heart and text box. I had to remake the 2D sprite as the sizing was originally wrong for the blocks, I created an entirely new level and rebuilt it again, saved it as a blueprint, and then used the 2D sprite as a base to build the 3D chicken:

I also added a little grass block following the Stardew Valley tile set coloration so that my chicken had some grass and a floor.

I created two versions of the heart but the second one looked horrible and so I stayed with the 1st flat version.

Blueprint for the heart:
