Clothing

                               Introduction

Clothing is the main part of a character, my main clothing inspiration is Hanfu which is a traditional Chinese dress in ancient times. It is very similar to the kimono from Japan and has many cultural influences and different vtubers often wear traditional Asian clothing.

Inspiration

I've always liked watching anime and due to my own heritage of being Chinese, I was already familiar with the clothing style and aesthetic. I also found other vtubers with many different kimono outfits and I knew that personally, I wanted one that with more uniqueness and my personal touch.

Brainstorming

I went through different types of clothing and poses when trying to find the ones that could. I looked at many different references when making clothes. I decided that I did not want to make this too complicated for me so a simple top, skirt, blouse, and other accessories would work together. I also understood that I did not want the clothes to look like it was sewn onto the character, rather than just placed on.

Experimental

Throughout my processor making anything this was the first time I did it without a tutorial.  Honestly I think I did a decent job from looking at reference pictures and making what I thought looked right. I  also just alt + selected every body part I was starting it off of and extending it. Overall I am very satisfied with the work I did this week. And I should be done with her clothes by the end of this week.

Process

Reflection

There were some parts that confused me such as the skirt of how poofy it was suppose to be. The arms I just started to work on and honestly I am really satisfied with how they are beginning to form.

District Arts Festival display plan.

 As of right now, I am planning on sticking with my plan, maybe it will change within the month of May. My best hope is that it does not and I can continue with my original plans for the time being. My plans are not set in stone, perhaps I will change up a few things along the way. The pieces I am planning on printing out are.  

PUDDING

And my kitchen scene with my pendulum^^ I also wanted to put more of my Vtuber models

District arts Festivial

1. Triangle Display!!

2. I hope to have at least 3 prints and 4 is my max since I do want to display the other fun works I've done within the last year. I also plan to bring in my monitor from home. I want to set up 2 looping videos of my character waving and smiling on the monitor.

3. I want to hang my name down like paper letter blocks possibly, this is subject to change. My display color palette is a more sage green and peony pink due to how most of my objects are a lighter color and more pink and green. I will have one end table for displaying phone charms that I plan to sell for fun! I also will have a stool to hold up my monitor for my video connecting to the school laptop.

MP3 Reflections

The 3rd marking period check helped me see what my other students were up to. I'm glad to know that many of my classmates were almost in the same boat. I tend to enjoy watching the progression of our class it's very interesting and fun to watch. 



Aaliyah Alvarez

I really enjoyed reading Aaliyah's script in class, I can understand the hard work she put into scriptwriting although I have never written a script myself I understand the stages of having to change the format of writing into a script to add in all the camera angles and speaking dialogue with voice over or not. Also, in every written scene that describes the setting, I could imagine seeing every single set on the stage. It was very cool and fun to read her script in class and I love seeing her hard work go noticed!

Makayla Forbes

Another member in my class I read and enjoyed was Makayla!! I loved her concept of the Seven Princes of Hell and making them into characters. I am a big fan of this idea and making it yourself. I totally understand her reasoning when she said she only wanted to make three. I also can relate to her on struggling with the eyes of the character models and I was glad to give her some tips when she asked me to!

Austin Bennett  

I was super amazed by Austin's progress with his models and the animation of his models^^ I also loved his idea to 3d print his characters as mini marketable figures!! They're super simple and easy shaped so I totally understand why he would. Overall his animation test was great and everything looked super smoothed with his characters. I also understand him when he said he was getting kind of tired and lost a bit of inspiration when it comes to making his models and videos. I also have a brain blockage.

Overall, I loved reading and watching everyone's growth within the last marking period! I learned a lot from this marking period and saw the improvements of everyone!
