Thesis Visual Component (3D J-Dirty)

Well here he is folks! I'd say the high-poly version of J-Dirty is all done for now! A lot of hard work and detail went it this guy so enjoy. Time to finish up Joshua now.

J-Dirty’s Game

It was a suggestion that my characters fit into certain videogame. I decided J-Dirty would fit perfectly into a game such as Def Jam Icon, a 3D fighting game. In this game the player creates a character and attempts to make a name for that character as an up and coming rap legend or “icon”. You beat up other rappers to settle beefs and even deal with dirty cops. In the game J-Dirty wants to desperately move out of his parents mansion to pursue his rap career. He must make a name for himself in order to get signed to a major rap label, so he starts fights with other rappers, their bodyguards, and even members of their entourage all to get his rap songs to be heard.

Thesis Visual Component (Heads)

Hello everyone! Here's the first look at the 3D heads of J-Dirty and Joshua. I spent a lot of time on their hair so I hope you guys can appreciate all the hard work. Also while I was creating the hair for the two characters I felt I should explain something. I am not saying that all African Americans who have braids are bad and angry people because many of my friends have braids and they are the nicest people in the world. However the stereotypical image of "the angry black man" usually has braids, especially in the media. I'm also not saying that anyone with a slick hair do is a good person either. Joshua's character just so happens to have one. There's a lot more to come soon so stay tuned!
