Pre crit week

Last Thursday I went to The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards exhibition at HMC (Hannah Maclure Centre). I think this was the best free time I have spent so far this year. I am really getting bogged down with my project. I seem to be doing nothing at all but my university work and still worrying if I can do it well enough. Pressure is mounting up and by always staring at my PC screen I am not doing many favours for myself or perhaps even for my project.

During the event I did not have that much time to look at the paintings that were hanging there but I really enjoyed talks with the artist. I have even stayed longer then I was intending at first because some of the conversations I had with the artists were really interesting and were close to my heart and my mind: the whole painting process, returning back to art after years of break, the constant beating yourself up by feeling like of being not good enough etc. Since I did not have much time to look at the exhibited paintings I went back to the exhibition this week during the day and really enjoyed looking an analysing the paint on canvas and how each painter had their own style and ways of applying paint on to the surface or choice of colour.


During last five days I have managed to complete the Game Concept Document*, make a better sketch for the underwater and land/forest part of the game as I doubt I will have enough time to create the rest of the game artwork. (see image below)




Also a better version of the land/forest screenshot. (see image below)





Character designs


Silhouettes

Iterated designs (not all complete)

I will have to rethink character design as most of them are too complicated and might be difficult/time consuming to animate.

As well as started to set up the proper land/forest layer for my final peace (see image below)






Tomorrow meeting my supervisor again to see what is her feedback and discuss what I would like to and should present during my crit presentation.
