Lost count of weeks; Concept finalised, I think.

 I changed the timeline and seems like I am behind with the sculpting, but I should be still fine with the project. For now it even seems like I can afford one week of Easter holiday. This might change. The sooner I start sculpting, the sooner I can ask for 3D print test. So it is quite important. Ideally I'd like to make one test with an old model, one as a test version of my the honours project idea and one final outcome.

I also submitted the outline of my dissertation.

I am still isolating and I have a supervisor meeting on Monday. Fingers crossed I can be out next week and start sculpting. Meanwhile I will wait for supervisor feedback and work on any written work.

Platfrom design with notes

Concept art done

I have a strict plan for sculpting the pieces and this should be doable. I might need to use a base from old project of mine for the Queen to speed up the process. About the platform, I am going to use automatic retopology and UV unwrap where possible, inside of ZBrush. 

I also got my risk assessment and ethics form approved.

Unforeseen circumstances

 Well, I did not expect that but I had positive Covid19 test. I am feeling weak and have to self-isolate, therefore I have no access to my PC and sculpting software... I have decided to take it easy, rest and try my best to accomplish other tasks to be fully available for sculpting once I am well.

I have changed my timeline once again, I was lucky enough that first time creating it I did not know dates submissions so I left myself two weeks of nothing before that. For now seems like I still will be able to take some Easter holidays and accomplish my project on time. I just hope that 3D printing will really be available to me so I can do some test runs. I also put extra week for preparing the snow globe, just in case so in the worse case I can push things a little bit. I already feel that I will need to crunch sculpting. Might be needed.

I rethink all the processes of the creation:

-Simplify character & platfrom 

-Try learning 3D printing and hopefully do some test versions

-Find out how long would the printing take and if uni and 3D printing services are open for the Easter holidays

Fingers crossed I feel better for next week so I can start sculpting. I kinda have to.
