Minor - Music Update

It's been a couple of months since I've updated here. Mostly because medical stuff has gotten in the way of work but that's all dealt with and I'm here with an update on the music!

Kowa has finished the base instrumental of the song and it clocks in at 4.23. You can listen to it here.

It's a little longer than what I was expecting, but now we can finally finish up lyrics drafts and I can work on a fully realised animatic.

Notes from Kowa:

- I'll spend the rest of the time working on lyrics and stuff, and then I'll update the doc.
- Once I get a full vocal melody, I'll edit the inst so it has a bit more variation by adding little chimes and small melodies that follow the vocals so it sounds more full
- I'm finding that some chunks of your original lyrics work pretty well with the flow I have in the inst, so I just wanted to work together a bit and see if there's anything, in particular, you'd wanna keep

I've also settled on a name for the song and by extension this project. I've decided to simply call it dysphoria for reasons that are fairly obvious since this project is about just that.

Minor - Mika Head #2

The eye mesh isn't finished yet, and the cheek area needs more volume, but I think this is coming along well now. Since my model is drastically different to jetpack jones, I ran into a few problems around the chin and nose area, however with a bit of experimenting, looking at other tutorials, and at models meshes on station that are in a similar style to Mika, I figured things out. (Though they are far from perfect)

Minor - Mika Head #1

Here is the first work in progress of a Mika head test. I think for the rough blocking its looking okay, though I did run into issues in the mouth area due to my design being so stylised. I have made a note of this going forward.

Premise - Goals for the summer

My goals for the summer break are:

- Start doing 3D tests for Mika, ready for when I come back in September. I want to be ready to make a final model as soon as possible. This is my main goal.
- I want there to be a finalised song and lyrics by the end of summer so I have a finished Animatic by the end too. This is so when I make the transition into 3D I know what Mika needs to be able to do in 3D and can model accordingly.
- I want to finish the first half of my making of/art of (the entire preproduction side), So that when I come back for 3rd year I can just add on using the pre-established aesthetic.
