Tutorial_Week4_081021

Demetris
Define the functions/shapes/... of the tips of the tentacle, your fingers or palm.
Use a consistent design language. (imagine you're integrated with an octopus like the fly man in the movie)

Selam
Draw & build the folding paper structure/surface. To make the model, you need the hard line drawings as Tea mentioned.

Asma
tongue-trigger + teeth-injector
Make it beautiful enough to compensate your face behind. It should be better-looking than your face as well as working.

Vipin
'Design' the prosthetics- you need to match at least your trendy gadgets.

Inga
Swiss army knife is a good example but your needs to be more sophisticated.
Integrate the two separate pieces to one or two hinges. Your watermellon inside the opening helps you focusing on the main function.

Tingwei
Work hard. You are very disintegrated at this moment from the (not yet 'your'), from the wall and from the prosthetics.

Nick
if you're successful about the image that you see through the prosthetics, you might not draw the one of your hand 'lense'.

Paula
Beef diagrams of the wall and your body. Improve your model. Your model will tell you the beef diagram of the wall. If you look at the mirror, your will see the beef diagram of you in the glass(es).

Naveed
Sauce, sauce, sauce please. Define the sauce of the wall. And determine your actions on/under/above/beneath the wall and move onto your prosthetics.

Dave
Now you've got it. Restore! Give a life to your noodles, resurrect a thin strip of the wall as Tea suggested. Your technical knowledge will help you your drawings/model. What do you need to restore both of them? That is the brief for your prosthetics.

Chris
See the references posted earlier. Skin-suit sounds nice but can you improve the details such as the sucker...reminds me of the one in an old toilet.

Dan
Need to speed up! you've got strong ideas. but no prosthetics nor drawings at this moment. Think about Tea's comments- how do you want to reshape/carve the wall, the answer will lead to the design of the prosthetics.

Sam
Engage in the design. You're not an observer but the man doing the job. Respond in subtlty to the materials, change your prosthetics, control your speed and draw/make.

Kemi
Peel and paste. See the reference below but define your process on your own.



Preshant
The idea of converting smell to heat/light is intriguing. If the lighting lasts long or strong then it will be (over)heated. Do you need to heat them as well though? See some images in others works for an inspiration. I imaging mini version of these:



Anna
...

Shi
Your answer was too easy, again. What do you want to do about the wall? Do you really need only chopsticks to cook and eat the fried rice?

Comments on tutorial yesterday will be sent later today,Do not just wait for those.
Trust your intuition and start making, testing and developing prosthetics.

it is not a time to do fuzzy sketches but jump into making prosthetics. coming tueday, we are discussing mainly on the 3d objects. everyone's struggling. everyone has certain execuses. but i can say that those who have consistently partaken in tutorials are now on track. meanwhile, seven guys already got official warning letters via mark titman, your personal tutor. tae and i will reassess your performance in three weeks.
