Level and Character Progress #2

This week I have been mainly working on my character designs. For the most part I have been working on my main character who is now called 'Dude Danger'. At first when designed this character I was going for more of a mass effect-Duke Nukem look. As you can see in this picture I have used the same amour from Mass effect but soon after this idea was scrapped. 

While I was working on Dude Danger I wanted to mess around with different facial expressions like you can see here. Once I scrapped the whole Mass Effect idea I wanted to go for a more cheesy kind of look so I went for more a 70s-80s look. That's why I used the name 'Dude Danger' I find it very cheesy.

I also worked on a few different poses for Dude Danger. I wanted him to look strong so I give him the whole 'Super Man' kinda of look and I think its worked really well.
I feel like this is going to be pretty close to the final design so I'll be working on some more designs for my sidekick and my alien race.

Seeing that I finally have an idea on what I want Dude Danger to look like I started to work on a sidekick. When I was first given this assignment I wanted to go for more of a small alien rather than a robot but as of this week I have changed my mind. I'm really happy with how this designed turned out but I felt like they needed some more changes.

After doing some more research I finally got a design that I really like, now this could change but for now I'm really happy with the way the sidekick looks.
The sidekick is called 'Data' due to being the smarter one in the duo. I have gone for a red and grey retro look which looks great on Data so I think these colours will be used in the final design.

This is what Data looks like at the moment, it still needs work but I'm happy with how Data is turning out so far.








Now for my level design, not a lot has been done this week because I finished most of the blocking last week. This week I have mainly been working on finishing the blocking for the upstairs. I have also been messing around with different lighting and effects to give me an idea on how I was the house to look. I will have so more updates about my level in the up and coming weeks when I start adding assets to the level.

Anyways that's everything for now, 

Thanks for reading,
