Final Plant Journal Pages [WEEK 16]

 Snakeskin Tree and Saharan Arum -

These are the final 4 drawings to be put in the journal plant entries, they are depicting two of the large plants that i have modelled that are based on the thumbnails i did earlier in this project. I did have some slight issues with the bottom two drawings as i forgot to save the black and white version of the sketch that i did, this meant i had to do some edits to the coloured version by lowering the saturation and adding in more range of tone in the petals to differentiate them from one another. These, much like the other journal sketches i did are digital draw overs of traditional sketches i did in my sketchbook, as seen below.

Saharan arum -

Name - Saharan Arum 
Rarity - 5 Stars

Location - Deep Jungle

Information -

Blooming just once every decade, the Saharan Arum is a large foul smelling flower that grows to a height of over 8ft tall. With a scent similar to that of decaying flesh and rotting fruit, the flower lures in a variety of scavenging flies and insects and catches them in it's sticky nectar to consume them. A distant relative to the Titan Arum, the Saharan arum is much more suited to artificially generated weather patterns and sandy soils.

Snakeskin Tree -

Name - Snakeskin tree, Mennegoxylon Reptillia
Rarity - 3 Stars

Location - Savannah

Information -

Brought back from extinction by Verdancy Corporation scientists, the snakeskin tree has a long scaled trunk that curves to host long vines that sway in the wind, picking up pollen from nearby trees. Once a towering figure amongst the dinosaurs, the Saharan Snakeskin tree is now host for some of the many species of birds and parrots that reside within the deep Saharan jungle that use it's rough bark to maintain their talons.

Gantt Chart -

I have now completed all of the journal sketches and text for both small, medium and large flora. On my gantt chart all i have left to do is some concept art, of which i would like to try to get 3 more pieces done of various environments within the Sahara, I don't think i will need to make any more 3D models despite the fact it says on my Gantt chart that i am only 50% complete, as stated in my last post, my director feels i should not make any more 3D models and focus more on concept work and Unreal work, I don't think i would be able to get all of them done at this point anyways as we only have a week until submission and it just wouldnt be possible to make 8 models in a little over a week. I do feel confident with the work i have made so far and i hope that this does not reflect badly on my overall timekeeping skills, i had set enough time aside to make all of the models, but since my director has told me not to, i want to follow her wishes to make it fair to other team members. My next steps for this week and next week is to get those 3 concept pieces done and help out putting everything together in Unreal. I also wanted to get some Foley done over Christmas, but it was far too cold to go outside and the path outside my house froze over and so for safety reasons, i was not able to get this done.
