Working Title.The Ugly, the Grotesque, and the Nasty.2. One-sentence description.The Ugly, the Grotesque, and the Nasty will be a collaborative project focusing on the pre-production and development of three 3-D character models. Each character will separately correspond with the terms ugly, grotesque, or nasty. Because each of these terms “takes it to the next level” in terms of ugliness, so will our designs and concepts for each character.

This project becomes collaborative through predetermined meetings and mini-critiques in order to reflect on each other’s work and how the other artist approaches these three characters. We will also have each other to further expand our resources and knowledge of our programs of choice.
Our goal will be to have clean and fully completed concept drawings that will be ready to model in a 3-D program. In addition to this, it would be nice to actually start modeling at least one or more of these characters.
5. The product of the project.Both artists will have at least three fully completed concept drawings that will be ready to model in a 3-D program. With a great amount of luck and skill, both artists will also have started at least one 3-D model.

7. Treatment visuals.Coming Soon
8. Technical/research issues that will be addressed.During the course of our project we will be utilizing Maya, Mudbox, and Photoshop to complete our designated goals. Both artists will be doing independent, as well as collaborative, research in order to learn as much as possible about these programs.

Not sure how I'm going to do his eye......I want to have the eyeball ripped from someone's eye socket and stitched onto the hand...I will ponder it.
