Assignment: Character sheet part 2 Tools used: ipad, procreate, apple pen

Description: Updated character sheet

Self-Evaluative Feedback: An obvious thing that has happened for my last couple pieces is the pressure of time running out has caused me to rush. That being said, I don't think that's entirely a bad thing. It's good practice to do things faster, especially when it comes down to it in a job. If anything, it's taught me that maybe I want to take a different direction with art that isn't the game industry, and that's okay! In the real industry, it may not be balancing graduation and family, but rather other jobs and rushing to get things in on time. I don't know if that's exactly what I want because I don't love the result. It might just be a lack of practice. For the reference, I just used the same as the original turn around.

The other one didnt upload correctly, the editing is being weird so here is the one I went with, obviously as I started the bg more.

[lolagjohn]

I totally forgot to upload these sketches and they got deleted but I found them from the procreate video replay thank goodness. I decided on the 2nd pose and developed it a lot more because I thought the more nervous and longing personality reflected the character a lot more.

Biggest reference was Scribblenauts

Assignment: In-game shot

Description: A simplified version of a 2D puzzle game

Self-Evaluative Feedback: I really wish I could've spent more time on this, but it is the end of the year, and I really don't want another late piece. I think it's okay, but the biggest factor is that I just didn't have enough time to polish it. I made use of stuff I've previously done to help, but I don't love this one. Honestly, even getting back into unity was a hurdle. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue game art when I graduate, honestly! I will see where I go from here. https://bigman221.itch.io/assignment

Assignment: Character Key Art Procreate, ipad, apple pencil Description: Robot girl reaches out for shoe in a sunken NYC Self feedback: I really enjoyed this! This kind of artwork is, obviously, my favorite thing to do. I loved playing around with her colors and finding how to convert her hair and style into a way that can fit with the background while keeping the same feel as the original. I wanted to make this piece really pop with color to express the cutesy feeling of the character. I also wanted the focus to be on her face and arm/shoe, as this basically represents the whole game. It is a game about her changing internally as she interacts with another human girl who has limited oxygen, and the main mechanic revolves around her stretchy propeller arms.

Assignment: Character turn around Tools Used: ipad, procreate

Description: A companion robot that accompanies humans in an underwater dystopian

Self-Evaluative Feedback: I really enjoyed this assignment and I really like how she turned out. I wanted her to be almost indistinguishable from humans except for a few key details to drive in the fact that she's supposed to be a companion rather than a mindless robot. My world is lighter, cuter, and sillier, so I took lots of inspiration from things like Arms and Starfy for the vibes and powers. Every part of her is light and round despite being a machine.

versions of the "fish dog" including fishdog ver 2. and fish fries

[lolagjohn]

Notes:

Fish mutants live alongside and eat/be eaten by other fish despite being the same species. It is just how life works despite taking over the advanced technology of the long gone humans.

There are almost no humans despite their leftover tech.

Trains offer protection for the fish mutants through different areas of the ocean from the bigger and more dangerous creatures

Assignment Name: Environment Design Part 2

Tools: Procreate, iPad

Description: A blue-lit subway through the twilight zone

Self reflection: I wish I could’ve spent more time on this, but I am behind on the other assignments for this class(and the sketchbooks! Whoops). I am decently happy with how this turned out but I can see lots of little things I could’ve improved on and polished, such as the facial proportions and shading. I wanted to show a world that takes influence from a new york city train late at night, but underwater. There are fish mutants and parallels such as the “fish dog” and soda cans but the fish mutants live alongside and eat/be eaten by the less-developed fish. There are also almost no humans.

Assignment name: Many from a few Tools: Procreate iPad Description: A chibi kiwi bird enjoying the NZ winter evaluation: I loved this! It felt like I was making my own Picrew. I decided to go for a simple yet stylistic approach so that I could make accessories work. I wanted to experiment with textures and new styles compared to what I've previously submitted for this class. I even made some extra ones that aren't in the original 3 for different color accessories and hot chocolate options for my friends to play around with. I love my little bird.

Assignment name: Patterns from Particles Tools: Procreate iPad Description: A take on feeling clean and fresh after rinsing off Self-evaluation: This was a very different experience for me, and I spent most of my time tweaking tools in Unity. Overall, I am not super happy with it, but I tried my best and gained a huge appreciation for those who dedicate their lives to this sort of art.

Assignment: pixelizing monstrosities

Tools: procreate iPad

Description: a pixelization of a squishy dinosaur monster

Self evaluation: I have less to say with this piece as it felt more like an exercise rather than a exploration. It was difficult, especially with the smaller canvases, to create a readable creature that makes sense to the viewer. Overall, I think I did well on all my different scalings.
