End of week assignment - Modeling 2

This week we started a new modeling project, Modeling 2, where our assignment was to model an interior scene.


My timetable for the week was planned like this:

Monday 14-16: Draw a layout of what I'm going to make and get some inspiration.
Tuesday 14-17: Drew up the props I was going to make and started modeling.
Wednesday 14-18: Model and model!
Thursday 14-18: Model and model and model some more!

We also did some Observational Drawing this week, which was to practice drawing a couple of chairs at an angle using techniques we have learned previously. I tried to focus on negative space and 'framing' the object for size reference.

Planning the interior

For this assignment we could choose between sci-fi and fantasy. I chose the latter. I chose this because of all of the rounded edges and the fantasy setting in general, which I have never attempted to model before, so I thought it would be good practice.

I started by Googling for inspirational images I could use to get an idea of what to make.

I then drew the layout of the interior and drew some props I was going to make to clutter up the place.

These are my final renders.

My idea for this assignment was that the interior scene would be a Hobbit-home, based on the ones from The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit. The Hobbit who resides here loves to come off as a traveler and explorer, but is in fact one who has almost never been outside of his home. Instead he sits inside, drawing maps of places he says he's been, and writing stories about people he say he's met during his travels. None of which are true of course.
