Award Q 2020 modeling category application.
Concept:
Rewatched Evangelion Q, and found that there are a few shots that didn't show Asuka's facial expressions.
In Q she acted like she was totally irritable and harsh on Shinji.
But is this her real thoughts?
So I attempt to create my version of Asuka punching towards Shinji.
Might be apart from impatient, the fact that Shinji was safe might let her relieve?
Facial expression is quite tricky, I prevent making her looks too weak while wanting to make her show she actually cares about Shinji. So it ends up that little tear in her eyes, sweeping her face away to hide her real feeling.
Tweaking per shot is fun! To make it looks more expressive we can scale or translate bones in a creative way. Adding deformers or simply shape modifications just for that shot. I believe this is the romance of Japanese 3dcg anime production.
Hope to participate in such projects and pipeline in professional anime 3dcg crews!
P.S.
Discovered the competition just in the late June, just 1 week left.
Looking forward to complete it later
