This is the story of detective Lawrence investigating the case of two missing children from a chemistry lab. The story has changed slightly from the initial version, but still is largely the same narrative.

Thank you to Nina Taurich for letting me use her chair asset!

Simple scene, simple story line.

I wish i had more time to put into this project, but this what i can do with limited time.

Hope you like it

This is my short comic about a prison escape. I used my vector art for the picture hanging on the wall and credit to Ryan Cirella for the second person in the story.

I created the Rat Man in Z-Brush, which presented a new challenge for me. Similar to Maya….I struggled. A lot. However, I think I was able to replicate the character that I drew pretty well. I used a hair texture to try and emulate what a rat body would look like, along with adding weight to portray more a rat look. The color scheme I used helped to shape that.  

For my character I decided not to make the maintenance worker, but make the “Rat Man” itself. I think adding that element to the story of the Rat Man coming out of the tunnel could be entertaining. The Rat-Man would be part rat, part man, with the head and hair of a rat, but can walk and have hands/feet of a human.

I struggled a lot with handling the lighting of the scenes as I missed that class, however I was able to make light come out of the dropped flashlight to shine on the pool of blood.

Story:

Around 5:15 am the tired maintenance worker was called in for an early shift, to check the controls on the track. He had to arrive early before any trains were present. Only his 2^nd week on the job, the other workers would tease him about the legend of “The Rat Man.” They said a part human-part rat lurked in the tunnels late at night. He assumed that this was all part of rookie hazing. The city had not put much money into the upkeep of the station, so there was not much light inside. The budget for the station was so low, that there was only one security camera and it was outside on the actual station. Just before he reached the control panel that stood immediately before the dark tunnel, he heard the squeal of rats. He had never heard so many rats together in one area. Out of pure curiosity, he shined his flashlight down to the tracks. The rats dispersed at the sight of the light; the worker immediately dropped to his knees at the sight of a pool of blood covering the tracks. There was no animal or body in sight. Just a pool of blood large enough to fill up a bathtub and foot prints heading into the dark tunnel. He immediately dropped his flashlight ran out of the tunnel to call the police.

Sketch:

For the robot, I pictured a spherical base that would allow him/her to move in all directions sort of like a segway.
