2D Poke-Portraits & Squirtle Battle Animation changes

 This week I had to go back into squirtle animations and nerf his movement a bit so it wasn't so extreme during battles. I had to do this because we have a limited battle space.

I also completed two of the last pokemon portraits for our credit sequence!

Pokemon Posters Progress

 I'm working on a series of 6 illustrations to decorate the walls in our VR experience so we don't have blank walls! This is the first, a work in progress, of Officer Jenny!

Storyboards and Concept Paintings

 This week I focused on 2D, making sure all the "look and feel" tasks for the game were ready.

Common Art Priest Proxy and Obj Concept

 This week I was originally waiting on storyboard concepts so I could paint them, but instead was redirected into sculpting and subsequently generating a proxy of the priest for the game presentation. I did still generate and render a concept for our stained glass assets. Included a video demonstrating the current state of the project.

Common Art Environment Paint & VR Test

This week I painted the interior of the church, before and after the ritual. I used some screenshots from our proxy level to inform placement and layout, and painted over the proxies with texture, lighting, and most importantly: blood and tentacles! I included the video our team did testing the VR.

Common Art VR Photobash Update and Iconography

 This week I redid some of my environment concepts, and changed them to be more in line with our narrowed scope. I also looked at the iconography we would be using.

Common Art VR Project Thumbnails

 Here are the thumbnails I generated for this week's initial presentation for Common Art! Can't wait to dig into this VR Project.

Arcade Cabinet Textures

 This week I put the final touches on my arcade cabinet model. It was a pain to paint every single panel, but its absolutely worth it!

Perspective Scene - Common Art

 This week I did a lot of things, using assets I made and assets from sketchfab to complete the scene. I had a lot of fun setting up the 3D scene and then painting it over as a reference. I've included my sculpt, the reference, and the painting.

Composition & Illustration

 This week we were given two directives: emulate an artist and choose a composition for an illustration. I chose to emulate was Eyvind Earle. I included one of the paintings that inspired me. I was most inspired by their lighting techniques and their use of contrast. I chose the L shape composition to use for this illustration.

2D Color Study & Use of Basic Lighting

This week we were tasked with looking at 3-point lighting and then rendering it ourselves. The top is my reference, the bottom is my painting! 

Value Hierarchy Study

 This week we focused on how to set images apart with only greyscale value. It was a fun exercise!

Week 02 - Use of Silhouettes and Thumbnails

 For this assignment I chose to use the character Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk.

For design, I asked myself "what would a medieval style look like in the future?" and "what could a farm boy look like in the future?". Using these types of internal questions, these are what I came up with! I thought about what styles are so simple and useful they would prevail over the times, like hats to keep sun away. I also thought about new technology that might exist, and what that could look like in an agricultural setting. Perhaps, if Jack were working in the fields, he'd need a signal booster away from "the grid".

 This was a really fun assignment, and I'm happy with the results. My favorites are the last few!

Concepts - Week 1 Basic Shapes

 These are my concepts, I had a lot of fun with the triangular shape!

The circular one is a big, fluffy duck creature with mouths in its stomach. I also made a stone guy, who seams chill but will crush you, and a Goat-Dragon! The Goat dragon has massive horns that you'd think would prevent it from quick movement, but don't be fooled, it can climb mountains with the agility of a mountain goat.
