For this rotation, I have chosen a chinese style building which I always wanted to build. I am extremely intrigued by this interior design style because it is always harmonic and relaxing. Most part of the interior design such as furniture and windows are consisted of dark colour woods to bring the contrast to white wall. The texture images used in the rendering are mostly found on internet while the light setting is from Poly Haven.

At beginning I thought learning Maya would be an extremely complicated process, however, by starting the modeling process directly with the tutorial has been an effective way of learning. I may try to explore more functions and modeling tips of Maya in the future.

It is a very peculiar experience to explore the shape of random objects and turn them into characters, this activity helped me to imagine and brainstorm through observation and achieve very interesting and satisfying outcome. I explored the shape of water bottle, tape and coffee cup and turned them into simple characters, at first moment it was hard because I could not unseen what is shown, but after some practice my imagination started to flow well.

At first moment, I thought about drawing the theme “winter” as final character design, but as many people has chosen this topic I preferred to explore something different which is an object (scarf). As scarf’s function is to warm up and protect us, I have chosen to make it a cute, shy and smooth temper character. The colours chosen are mainly warm colours too in order to reflect it’s coziness. It has a child appearance and does not have a specific gender, it’s work is just to protect us against the freezing temperatures.

While you were out

I am in this sombre and gelid room, the frightening shadow of furnitures stretches on the floor torturing my lonely soul.

No brightness and coziness of your image reflect on my eyes.

But when you were here, my world is enlightened by your every single action. What imprisons me isn’t this cage, it’s your smile which makes me hopelessly enchanted.

Unfortunately

You don’t know who I am,

But I just want to say,

I love observing you through the wall,

Especially when you weren’t out.

I have chosen this title at very first moment because it really inspire me to make a spooky and creepy story. My intention was to give the storyteller an unsure identity, ensuring a mysterious atmosphere and making readers feel involved in the story. At the end, the reader may wonder who the observer is. He might be a neighbor, a stalker, lover or even a creature that’s not human.
