I woke up, my six alarms all shrieking at once. I slammed my
finger down on the power switch of my computer and scrambled into some boxer
shorts. 3 minutes until tickets go live. Refreshing every 10 seconds until finally,
I’m in, desperate to hand over my £190 for an industry workshop ticket.
!
So yeah I got a ticket to Industry workshops 2015, I went
last year and had a fantastic time, I learnt so much and made some cool new
friends. I realised that I was actually taught more in those 3 days than… (Sorry I don’t
want to hurt any feelings here, but you get the point.)
I’m looking forward to it a lot, and following this week’s feedback,
I really think I need it! The feedback was mostly positive, but I really want
to create ‘cooler art’. My tutors seem to be happy with the work I’m doing, I
just kind of feel like I could do better.
I’ve been working on
designing environment concepts and some characters to populate them with .
I am creating the concepts for 3 levels:
·
Underground
·
Mushroom Forest
·
Queen of Heart’s Palace
Queen’s palace is what I really need to work on at the
moment, I think it has so much potential and I haven’t really explored it
fully. Back to the drawing board!
Here is some of the work I did this week ( and some last
week.)
Really fun actually coming up with CONCEPT art, not just illustrations and paintings. Ideas being the main focus gives you a whole different approach.
I kind of feel on top
of OTM at the moment, and I am still having a great time with it. I feel so
free being able to concept environments, characters and props with no team
mates yelling at me to get back on with texturing a rock!
Oh also I have started work on a collaboration with a friend
of mine who is studying animation at Bournemouth. He wants me to do the
backgrounds for a short animation he and a small team are working on. Exciting!
I’ll post a little of the stuff I have been doing for that too, but I probably shouldn’t
show you everything.
