Concepts For Chess Pieces

-


Here are my concept sketches!

To keep this from being nightmarish, I think big, chunky details will mostly be used. They will still have somewhat intricate accessories, but I'm going to model them in a way that will be self supporting (we'll see). With things like hats, or the monocle on the bishop, I'm considering printing them seperately then attaching them back together in the end. Since, I think the monocle is a little too removed from the rest of the figure.

I went with cute little ghosts because 1. I miss Halloween, and 2. they will be hard to completely mess up. I also just like creepy and cute things!

When they are printed, I'm very tempted to paint them OR coat them with glow in the dark spray paint. I think that would be really cool. Now all that's left is to model them in Rhino!

 Real World Research: From these findings, I mostly drew from the cat themed ones for my own design. I also liked the bold colors of the floor murals, as well as the simplicity they had. I wanted my design to be simple, cute, but bold and eye catching. The Design: There are actually two that I created. I'll put both here but know that I'm leaning towards the rainbow demon one. I love both but one works more like a pattern then the other- that other one was more of a test to see if I could make cool button designs. Here are the funky fellas ↶( *`ω´ )Ψ Extra design :> ε=٩(●❛ö❛)۶

(˵•́◡•̀˵)━✧.*    The Wizard's Villa *✲☆⋆(˘ᴗ˘ ) ⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ This project was a great stretch to get back into the groove of Rhino. I used it over the summer in small bursts, but probably not as much as I should have. Either way this was a lot of fun! Boolean difference was the main command I used. I basically made 'stamps' of shapes to mold the basic geometry with fun indents and design the arches and windows of the building. The balcony's were made by hollowing out a rectangle, with arch shapes imprinted in. The fence was made from a star shape and a circle stamped into a simple skinny rectangle. I used basically all the basic shapes, like triangles, circles, rectangles, and of course polygons. My reference was both castles and rich people vacation homes, since the concept I was going off of was a wizard's vacation home.  Some challenges I encountered was mostly just remembering commands for different actions I wanted to do, and just re-familiarizing mysel...
