Bookwyrm is about a small dragon going around collecting magical books and growing their own horde. This is expressed through the setting and the pile of paper and books that is being gathered by the dragon in the corner. I faced many different challanges while making this, most of my own creation. I have now…

Sarah Bodkin – Character animations
Current state of my animations. Working to get rid of jitter and having them link with unity better. They worked at one point but then something happened the next time I opened my project. Made my own rig by hand so it was quite interesting to go that far into the process. I have never…
Sarah Bodkin- Character Textures
Went through many variations since I didn’t want the dragon to look like a cow dragon. Wanted a feeling that the dragon gets into messes with the ink all over it adding a mischiveous nature to the character.
Sarah Bodkin – Model
Here is what I have so far. Have multiple files saved so I can change things easier. Struggled with getting dragon to look cute.
Sarah Bodkin – Midterm
This is my scene so far. I took time to organize it closer to what the final result will look like. I have a few objects left to texture such as glasses and some plant pots. I was unable to get substance working for me for a while so was not able to make the…
Clutter and environment
This is what I currently have. Trying to get the detail terrain to work with my models but haven’t yet. Will have paper and books scattered everywhere. Wasn’t able to do much terrain yet but plan to have mountains off in the distance. These will be viewable through the windows. I have attempted to add…
Sarah Bodkin – Modular Kit texturing
Here is what I was able to get done. Planning to play round with texture colors further. Look a bit different than they did in substance but that may be in part due to lighting.
Sarah Bodkin – UV progress
I have most of my uv’s unwrapped. Some are a bit more warped than I would like so will continue battling them. As I have been unwrapping the UV’s I’ve been using textures I have on hand to check further for distortion and for how seam placement is affecting the texture.
Sarah Bodkin – Modular Kit
Here is what I have so far for my kit. I’ve made some walls with doors and windows and started on the ceiling. I also made different kinds of bookcases and three different kinds of books. I plan to add more scattered items that could be found around a library such as glasses, cups, and…
Sarah Bodkin: Modular Kit concept
I am going for a cozy library feel. I want to design it after an older library so more complex decorations in terms of bookshelves, doors and desks.
Sarah Bodkin: Level Design
Here is the spatial design for the level. The idea is that the dragon can run around the library and figure out how to climb ontop of and maybe even through the bookcases. Level mock up in Unreal after being made in maya:
Game Concept: Bookwyrm
My game idea features a small dragon on their quest to make their horde. A horde of books of course. They only want the finest books, and will do whatever it takes to get them, except stealing cause that could tear a page. The game would be played from a 3rd person perspective, with the…
