HA3 Task 7 - Review

I made sure that I knew what I was doing before I started the task. I also did some research on other game characters so that I knew how I wanted my character to look and act, aswell as the style of game that was available. I used the Ghant Chart also so that I knew how long it took me for each task. This helped me alot because I then knew how long I also had left. I then started the create my character. I used a mixture of Photoshop and Illustrator. They compliment eachother very well because one is good for creating the image from the very basics and the other helped me to edit that image the exact way that I wanted it. When also took photographs of eachother in the poses of the character that we wanted, This helped as it gave me the basics of how I wanted my character to look and I could then model how the character would look on myself. The experience of tracing the character over me was very new to me. So to start with I struggled alot with it, however I then found it easy after a few sessions of using Adobe Illustrator.

Overall, I am very pleased with my work, I did it in time and to the best of my ability with the time I was given. However if I was to do this again I would maybe go back over the character and background in different colours. As I think that this would have given my character alot more depth.
