"Progress" by Jessica Chernega_Summer 2011

Bar room scene. Photographed with the corrections over it since that's how I plan on re-working it, anyway.
Character line-up. Need to change the robot, the mouse, and the bunny.

Character expressions. I might just color this one...

Old lady line-up, with corrections over it. I actually scanned everything in piece-by-piece, but piecing them together is for another day. Just need to make the corrections over it, and re-align the back pose.

Opposite characters...the thin guy I'm going to completely re-do into an action/sneak pose.
This is a different file from what I printed - you can see because parts are cut off here and there. I need to go into the print folder and get the original file, because I didn't realize illustrator lied to you when it said it was all on one background - it opened up as many different files, with all the layer orders mixed up. Anyway, gonna re-do some of the words, add the pizza pan, re-do his logo, and might color everything else.

  1. Hi Jess,

    Mid term: I have to say that the colors stand out for some reason and I obviously love the character and the way it turned out. On another note I just wish there was some type of background too it, not a dark color to distract your eye from your character but enough to pull your eye forward a bit to get rid of all the white space. Other than that I feel this piece is definitely ready for your portfolio.


    Opposing Characters: As with your mid term, I just wish there was a background. But I actually like the way both character turned out now even if you plan to redo the thin character.



    Turn around: I can't see it too well. It seems blurry around the edges, maybe it was just the scanner?



    Expressions: I love these expressions I feel that you have captured the character's personality perfectly in the expressions. Other than the background (I don't know why I'm so picky with the background but I am for some reason)I feel that this came out well.


    All Characters: I love all of these characters here you have certainly defined each and everyone of them besides the changes that you plan to do I don't see any other thing too change here.



    Bar Background: It's kind of blurry but I remember this piece from before. I absolutely love the way this came out and I can't say anymore too that since you plan to change it xD.

  2. Background - First off, I actually liked this piece from the beginning, I thought it told the idea clearly with the hints you gave here and there for the piece. I can also tell now that you definitely are starting to make corrections in the bar area where the stools are. Now my question is, where the changes are made for the stools going to be the changes for the stools on the left too? Cause if you are, I actually would suggest bringing the top most closest stool to us higher cause it will show they're following the perspective rule as well. Other than that take into consideration what others have said to add and it'll be ready for the portfolio.

    Characters:
    I honestly didn't think anything was wrong with them, but if you need to make changes go for it and it'll be ready

    Expressions:
    This was definitely my favorite piece of your earlier characters to look at because it captured the essence of her personalities and definitely showed that she was indeed an old lady XP

    Old lady Turnaround:
    I honestly thought this was fine from the beginning but I can see why you want to make the changes. I like how you're going to make that change in the back point of the turnaround so it looks like she has more of a saggy look ... the only thing I have to say against it is her legs in her position ... not only do you need to make the changes in the side view, but I also think in the 3/4 view too. Her left leg that's covering over the right one should be pushed out a little bit on the pie graph, otherwise it makes the leg look like it's being shoved behind the other one. Other than that, make the changes and it'll look great

    Opposite characters:
    I definitely think this one of your most successful pieces. Other than what you said already with changing the thinner guy, it looks good and ready for the portfolio

    Mid-term reference:
    I agree with LadyInu. Other than adding in a background with slight color, and the changes you were thinking of doing, it'll be ready to go. I also suggest making the font just a little bit larger so it's legible for those that are looking at it far away

  3. Yo!

    Bar: I look forward to seeing how you handle Ruiz's corrections. :3 It looks like you'll have an easier time with the stool perspectives now thanks to the guide.

    Lineup: I would offer advice but for the life of me I can't remember what was wrong with the characters...I think Ruiz wanted a more feminine robot?

    Expressions: I can't WAIT to see this colored. The way it's draw actually kinda looks like an animation of her making faces at us. :P It's definitely one of my favorites.

    Turnaround: I can see the little tweaks needed, but other than that, she turned out great. Again, love the grenades in her hands.

    Opposite: I agree with you giving skinny ninja an action pose. Maybe make him kind of interacting with the big guy? Big guy looks like he's really amused by something so maybe play off that?

    Midterm: I would definitely change the logo, simply because it's kinda hard to read in the area where the gradient becomes close to the same color as the font. Maybe just make the words with that gradient and add like a crest or something?
