Hsuanhua Chen (Ella)’s Portfolio

Because I want the light to show the monster in the shadow, then I decide the place in an age-old tunnel that has broken walls and covered with vines. I still want to use my first-person storyboard, just to try it out once, so this background and walk cycle will be used after the person died.

I choose to use the first-person point of view in the story because I want to create a horrific atmosphere, and I think this might fit. But not much like a story, more like an event or a reaction I suppose?

If wasn’t clear enough here’s the file version.

For this week’s assignment I colored the animation I created last week, also draw their original appearance in the shadow. This came out smoothly, because I know what I want to create.

One of my challenge is I really unsure about how their walk style are, since they’re more mysterious, and just show up from no where. But anyway I just use myself walking as the sample to drawing this assignment.

I really had fun creating this character, the inspiration was from a roleplaying survival horror game that I recently obsessed with, called ” The Call of Cthulhu”. Because I love to design characters, the creation of Klein was coming out smoothly, just struggle a little with the dress. I love the element of an evil nun that seduce human, that’s also why I stubborn on the nun-like dress, but I also want them to be more special and outstanding, so I make the dress like this, it’s actually not complex as it seems just three major parts.

Name: Klein Lathotep

Height: 170

Gender: None.  It doesn’t matter what you call them.

Race/ Appearance: Ancient God/ Tentacle-like creature

Personality: Everything is based on one’s mood. They like to observe human beings and seduce them to fall.

Appearance is not important, because they can have many different appearances. The look drawn here is just what they usually use just for now.

The original body is the tentacles, which have teeth that can swallow humans into the abdomen, but generally won’t eat them, because that’s way too boring.  They enjoy playing with prey, the look of human beings panicked when they see their original appearance,  disasters, and chaos. They also love to give hope and then make people desperate after.

Usually wearing a nun-like costume, of course, is not such a sacred profession as a nun, just to create contrast.  Although wearing the veil, it really doesn’t matter if not wear it, it’s just to arouse people’s curiosity.  Will ask another person to see if they want to see it. If the other person answers “yes”, they will show him the face with tentacles.

For the week 4 Assignment, I created the bomb explosion effect, I only used some photos that I had saved on my phone to create the effect. I kind of getting more impatient in the back, so it may seem sloppier.

I tried to make the ball go smaller and smaller as it bounces, like melting snowballs, instead of rolling it bounce, I think it doesn’t look too bad.

This my work for the Ball#1 Assignment, I created 2 balls, I knew that purple ball is kind of weird, I want to do it like a water balloon, the ball fills with water, but it doesn’t seem like it… Another ball doesn’t look too bad, so ok.

This is my first assignment for the 2D Animation class, I draw my favorite game character from Super Danganropa 2, Komaeda Nagito. I really have a fun time creating this flipbook.
