This year, 2015, marks the 50th birthday of Singapore-SG50. An art task was issued out-To design a mini figurine/toy. We were told that reference can be make from our previous art work-Toy design. We were forbidden to create a design that already existed such as Mega man, Spongebob. However, one could use these/this character(s) features to create another unique design. By using the characteristic of the character like pattern, shape, mood. As for me, my original toy has a cute feature (two dot as eyes), curvy smooth surface, soft, without any complex patterns. Simple toy. With some of these features implemented, moreover the features adapted from other few characters- Mega Man, Black Mage, Mario, Iron Man and ninja. The toy design turned into a character full of mystic and sneakiness. With several features that made it an advanced cyborg-Flight from feet, projectiles from hands, an extreme hearing device that can detect anything as far as give kilometers, with glowing eyes that can analyse one's mind and power, seeing through the future, the power of any ninjas, and the ability to obtain any weaponary from the defeat of any robot enemies. This robot serves an important message for Singapore- To remain strong and defensive, it's variety of colours represents being united to be invincible to all kinds of threat. The design were completed, maybe there should be more different vibrant colours like violet. Now, to wait for the arrival of the real figurine... This will be exciting.
Finally! The figurines were here! Unfortunately, the anticipations were largely disappointed due to the toy being smaller than the depicted size in our drawing template. Almost two times as small! It will be hard to draw the details. As mentioned by the teachers, we have to be more cautious on all the details. On the bright side, we do not have to paint so much on this small SG50 figurine. We were informed that the deadline is due two weeks after, however, it was supposed to be one week due to the toy to be issued next week. Our teacher wanted to give us more time to complete the figurines, so we were given one week earlier-Week 8. The toy is detachable, literally all the limbs. Hopefully, it will be easier for us to paint.
