Jessica Staley - Assignment #6 - Villain

My villain is a neuroscientist. He has an extra large brain, making him extra smart. Instead of using his extra brainpower for good, he wants to steal as many brains as possible. He has developed a method to steal other people's brainpower for himself by stealing their brains. He realizes that knowledge is power, so he wants to steal as many brains as possible in order to have all the power for himself.

Mad scientist

Egyptian witch doctor. Obsessed with death. She claims that her work allows the pharaoh's to live on in the eternities, when really that is a cover up for the work she is actually doing, which is done in complete secret. 

Ethan Wilkins Evil Scientist

My image isn't uploading, but I have two ideas.

First:

An 18 year old girl returning back to her senior year gaining weight over summer and becoming suddenly unpopular. Since all her popular friends abandoned her, she is stuck to hang out with the nerdier student body (consisting of math geeks, science people etc). As the year progresses she becomes overwhelmed with anger since her senior year is full of staying at home while her old friends party hard. She then uses her new friends and newly acquired science skills to create a concoction that will make all the student body fall back in love with her. (she resorts to this since all of her previous weight lost attempts are impossible) She's not really an evil villain, just a narcissistic teenager sick of unpopularity. She can change into a good character, but this comes once she goes to college and leaves her high school.

Second:

A father who has three children and practices biological science for the state government. His oldest child is killed in an accident, and he becomes overcome with grief. His other children beg for his attention as time moves on, but he is so depressed that he decides that he will quit is job and spend all his time trying to bring back his oldest child to life. He's not an evil villain either, just a misguided and struggling person. He doesn't have a chance to change unfortunately. His mind is already overrun with madness.

Amber Stotts

My evil scientist is an early 20th century Oxford science student, Hugh Conyngham. He is a bit naive and arrogant, thinking he will be safe in the laboratory all alone late at night. But, unfortunately for him, his genetics experiment goes wrong and he turns himself into a sort of demon monster that has no conscience and only wants one thing: blood. He rampages around the campus, feeding on innocent students, and bringing terror into everyone's hearts. Frantically searching for the cure, the professors at Oxford get eaten one by one, until finally, one is able to capture him and put an end to Hugh's suffering.

Kyle Mills Assignment #6

Dr. Xavier Crall is a biophysicist who has a fascination with death. In a recent experimentation he was able to bring breath back into a recently deceased. Unable to receive financial backing to further his research, he turns to the black market. Dr. Crall and a warlord begin to harvest an army of dead. 

Evil Scientist

My evil scientist is a botanist, so he works with plants. He is trying to grow vines with poisonous thorns that are voice activated, and plant them around his house. His wife was killed by two burglerers, and he doesn't want to same fate to happen to his only daughter, which is why he's trying to grow these dangerous plants. The government thinks they are too dangerous to make, because someone could use the deadly vines the wrong way, so they've made him an enemy of the state, forcing him to do his work in secret.

Rebeca Alvarez- Assignment #6

Dr. Carlos Cuervo is a geneticist with an interest in animals, specifically the crow. His last name means crow in Spanish mainly because his family was known for taking care of them and learning about them for many years. His obsession with them began when he was a young boy. Tragedy struck his life when he was 10 years old, his family was killed by an extremist animal protection gang (kind of like PETA?) trying to set their crows free. He was then left alone with them and decided to pursue a degree in the sciences in order to experiment with the crows, until he slowly became "one of them". His main goal is to exterminate that group that killed his family, no matter who gets in the way. He is an evil scientist because his perception of reality is gone and he is more beast like in his behavior with others . 

(I hope this makes sense..)

Dr. Acquati

Dr. Acquati is a marine biologist. As a graduate student he worked with a professor who was convinced that octopuses are an intelligent species comparable to humans and was trying to communicate with them. The project initially failed, but Acquati still believed in it and carried on the work in secret. Eventually he established communication, and discovered that the octopuses are intelligent. He identified with them: they were intelligent, antisocial, and miss understood, and so was he. They often told him that humans were a lesser species and were ruining the planet, and helped him cook up a plot to get rid of them; Dr. Acquati would take to the sea with his eight-legged friends and poison the earth’s atmosphere to kill everyone without gills.

He is now in the final stages of his plan. Using octopus DNA he has changed his own berating, and is barely able to survive on land with the help of the special tank, but he has surfaced one last time to gather anyone who may be willing to follow him into the deep.

Kelsie Liechty Assignment #6

Dr. Morgan Chima was once a gentle mannered but somewhat vain Geneticist. She devoted herself to studying the genetic traits of various animals and how and if they could be integrated into human biology. In a scuffle with a burglar, Morgan was exposed to multiple beta serums. While retaining most of her human features much of her changed including her once perfect nose which now reflects that of a hummingbird's. She hides it with a plague mask out of disgust at the new appendage. Distraught with her predicament and a rage of animal instincts driving her mad she aims to make more like herself or at least make others as miserable as she is.   

Brian Clayton, Assignment #6

Dr. Narasca is an unfortunate soul.  When he was a freshman in college, he was going to pursue a career in ballet.  However, after a very unfortunate week where he got no sleep, one of his competitors used his lowered state of awareness to lull him off stage while he was dancing.  He fell and got injured.  After this, he swore he would learn how to take advantage of his enemy by lowering his mental capacities.  His bitterness spiraled downward and he dedicated his college days to the study of neurological science. He now spends every moment he can get determining how to take control of others.  He has just made an amazing breakthrough that may be universal and help him get revenge.

Stacey Sleight - "Mad" Scientist

"I won fair and square! You just lost because you're dealing with a SCIENTIST!"

Or.... that's what she calls it.

Jessie Contessa (Or... Jessie the Messy as the other kids call her) is a self-proclaimed chemist. While her father has an actual degree in chemistry, dealing with radioactivity in his field of work, Jessie merely acts as her father's shadow when it comes to her knowledge of things radon, radium, and uranium. Yet..... she managed to win every science fair so far. How?

"Only a SCIENTIST can hold this stuff! This is my special, secret chemical. It's my ticket to this year's science fair ribbon!"

Take-your-child-to-work- Day is a real biohazard with Jessie. After sneaking some of the radioactive waste from her Dad's work, she'll drip a drop or so on whatever victim she chooses. Dogs grow more eyes, birds gain a second pair of wings, and flowers can suddenly eat an unsuspecting 4th grader for lunch. Jessie sees no harm in her "advantage" and anyone foolish enough to take her on will have to deal with whatever rolls out of the toxic waste dump.

No wonder the kids think she has a third eye in the back of her head...

Evil Scientist

Meet Dr. Maya Richardson. She was (is) an accomplished Lepidopterist - a scientist who studies butterflies - who got fed up with the government because they never listened to her proposals to save endangered populations of butterflies. After dabbling in some Amazonian tribal magic she has accidentally begun to turn herself into a butterfly. These days she spends her time in the rainforest scaring off anyone who comes near her precious butterfly populations. 

Rachel Sackett- evil scientist

He's a geneticist.
Recently some patents over DNA segments held by Myriad genetics were overturned. With this news he decided to get into some biological warfare, so he's been stealing stuff from work. He is also on the lookout for people to buy his work, as he doesn't want to be a distributor.

It's like 80 degrees in a testing lab like his.

Ginger Dall Assignment 6

Meet Dr. Leektinstein!

He grew up on a farm, and loved the land so much that he became an "agronomist" (someone that specializes in soil and crops). For years he experimented on genetically engineering vegetables, and often ate his creations... which led to his demise! DUH DUH DUH. Over time, his mind became more and more warped, leading him to create a humanoid-vegetable army to take over the world... or at least to tear down the ugly cities that should- in his mind- be farmland. However, he still has remnants of the peaceful farmer in him, and does not want to hurt anyone. In the end, as his creations get out of his control and begin to threaten the human population, I suspect he will find a way to destroy what he created.

Dr. Leektinstein is quirky and a bit on the one-track-mind side (not thinking about consequences). He is definitely single, and socializes mostly with his plant-minions. His parents passed away, and so he inherited the family farm, where he keeps his "secret" lab.

Assignment #6 – Ashley Sanborn

Dr. Vanna Adamsen is a (xeno)biologist— her expertise is put to use when Earth is invaded by hostile lifeforms. Vanna's fascination with the creatures leads to her wanting to preserve them, and even coming to see them as better than humans. She ultimately accepts an offer to join them and become hybridized with their kind.

Garrett Hamon- Assignment #6

Dr. Dorian Goldbeak
Dr. Goldbeak was created from the nose of a disassembled god. He is a master of alchemy, and can discern all the different elemental properties of a material by smelling it. Dr Goldbeak's primary objective is to become a full god. His pursuit has lead him to the practice of capturing characters with heroic properties and using their parts to complete himself.

Melissa Vance-Assignment #6

Line Version

Shaded Version

Evil Geneticist: Genetically modified as a fetus, by the (now deceased mad scientist) Evil Dr. Morbert. He was raised by said doctor as his prodigy, being the only experiment to survive. As a result our satyrical friend truly believes himself to be the next step in human evolution, thanks again to Morberts brainwashing. The evil geneticist now wants to change all of humanity into half human/animal hybrids, believing that humanity is too limited in itself. His genius intellect has made it easy for him to surpass human genetics to the point where he is very close to his breakthrough. He then plans on releasing his modifications into the water supply where it will directly affect the human genome, changing it to a "superior" version of what it is.
He also has a lovely pet lion-cat which he modified himself. It is his only friend. He's very lonely and looking for a female companion if anyone is interested.

Assignment #6 - Villain

Design an Evil Scientist

There are 3 Parts to this Assignment
1) Story - Write a 1-2 Paragraph (please no longer) character analysis in which you address his/her Persona, life, motive, ideology. (in other words: why he is a villain, His goal, his personality, how he gets what he wants.)
2) Creativity - make sure your design supports your story- this is what makes your character unique and different from all other evil scientist.  On the creative part - visually show what specific type of Scientist this is (Biology, chemistry, nuclear physics, virology etc.)
3) Value - Provide 2 versions of your character. 1 line only, AND 1 with Value.  Value should just be flat - like we did in class. Not shading.

**Bring a hard copy to class**
Post all WIP, and Skeleton Drawover to Blog

*Hint on Value - I recommend doing value digitally in photoshop so that you can experiment like we did together in class.  If using traditional media, be sure to scan your drawing first and make several printouts to experiment with.

Midterm Exam - Hands

While there are many theories about how to get good at hands, the best way is just to draw them alot and start memorizing them.

You will have a Midterm Exam on Thursday Oct 23rd at the beginning of class.  You will need to be able to draw 3 sets of hands (2 angles each = 6 total) from memory in a set amount of time - about 15 min.  There will also be a pop quiz sometime in the latter half of the semester to see that you havn't forgotten what you learned.

You may choose the 3 sets of hands that you will be tested on.  These should be hands that you deem useful.
I recommend:
 1) relaxed or at ease
2) holding something
3) Action/movement.
You will need to be able to draw each hand from 2 different angles

Draw the hand that is your Dominant hand (i.e. the hand you write or draw with.)

You will need to post a Page of the 3 Hand poses you are memorizing - this is how I will grade you exam.  These are the hands that you will memorize for the exam.  They can be stylized or realistic.  Your reference can be from the hand reference I posted, or from photographs.
