SCHOOL AND STUFF

 HEY. HELLO. I have not updated in forever and that is because school is insanely busy and never lets up. It's a really demanding program, Game Development, but I honestly am learning so much and I am kind of enjoying it. Here are some of the things I've done and am actually proud of.

Redesigns of Ivanhoe, most notable is that Ivanhoe is a woman now, trying to play on masculine and feminine ideals.

Alien character concept
Peach redesign

Peter Pan Game

We had to make a simple avoidance game in my interactive prototyping class, so I decided to do a Peter Pan themed one with influence from Mary Blair and her concept work that she did for Disney.
Animated Obstacles
Level Designs
Peter Pan walk cycle

One of my better attempts at animation and hopefully my last.

Developing my skills to develop games


 So Georgebrown College is starting off really smoothly, I'm doing pretty nicely in my courses and overall I'm learning a whole lot. The one class that I really enjoy is (obviously) 2D art and it's basically life drawing and drawing everythiiiing.

The one dumb thing about it is that the life drawing sessions have the tables in rows instead of surrounding the model, so if you're not in the very front, you need to change position a lot to see the whole figure which is a little frustrating but c'est la vie.
All 2 minute gesture drawings
Another 2 minute, I knew right when he stepped on a keyboard at the beginning of this pose that I needed it to have its own page.

Just a comparison of the first session of life drawing, where I was unprepared and only had my fine liner and had to make do with my blue pencil too. The lady was the first session and the man was the second, I already see tones of improvement (at least in the faces) and it's really encouraging me.

The top two poses were nude but we had to add our costume designs on top for the models. The lady's uniform stayed true because I had to hand it in earlier and didn't have reference for the male's costume.

Mogul and Beta looking fierce

 These two sketches are concepts for two characters, Mogul and Beta, just some early work.

Old Art, old as baaalls.

This is stuff I finally got around to photograph and it should have been done a long time ago. Gotta work on that timing!

caricature

Made by ripping up pieces of paper, such a fricken tedious task.
Oh hey look a bunch of me.
Watercolour, about the first time it didn't look terrible.
I really liked this life drawing pose, marker and conte.
Painting done in class.

My Pièce de résistance


A little series I made for one of my classes, I really enjoyed how this turned out. 

Mixed Media, digital, spray paint, collage, acrylic.

Concepts

Just felt like doing more of a study of Dragon Age Origins and my hero of Fereldan, Maberena Surana, circle mage.

Hound

Game of Thrones continues to be an inspiration to me, so naturally if I watch anything, I relate it back to Game of Thrones. Thus this monstrosity of crossovers was created, Shrek and Game of Thrones.
