Week 1

For the first week, we were introduced to our first project, the asset project, focusing on a container. During our first session, we were shown the method for creating silhouettes. Like many others, I started with things like chests and whatnot - typical containers. However, as I developed silhouettes I found that I wanted to do something slightly more interesting. Because of that, I ended up trying out smaller items. The first thing I did after this was potion bottles. In fact, I was actually inspired by what I was listening to at the time. I typically have music on while working on things - at the time, I was listening to the recently released songs for Final Fantasy XIV, for multiple bosses in the game. This music inspired me, and I decided to draw a few silhouettes based on the songs I was listening to.

I spent the first week primarily working on silhouettes, as did most people. While the potions could be considered iteration, I did them at the same time as working with the other silhouette designs.

Task 5 (Fairytales and their uses)

There are thousands of games out there that can fit into some of Propp's functions - which one to pick, however, I had difficulty doing. I decided to pick a game that isn't too well known for it's story (in fact, it's a little criticised for its story) due to it's 'cookie cutter' ideas and presentation. This means that it should fit quite well into Propp's functions, and that game is Destiny 2 (the base game, not the expansions).  The set up is rather typical for modern action games. The player, returning from an unknown mission, comes to the home city to find it being invaded by an unknown enemy force. After landing and fighting through a variety of forces, the player discovers that the one leading the assault is on a large ship. After encountering the main villain, the player is defeated, stripped of their powers and left for dead. Afterwards, the player leaves to retrieve their powers and figure out a way to defeat the main villain, which they do, ...

Week 8

For the final week, I only did a couple of things. This is where I started worrying about the work I needed to produce (not just artwork, but also journal work, which I hadn't been keeping up with), and started thinking about extensions. However, while worrying about that, I did manage to do some work, and wasn't absolutely horribly behind like I usually am. I created a little drawing deciding on the back of the character, where I imagined her having spider legs being able to protrude from her back. Along with that, I also created the start of the model sheet (the front view) and the character sheet drawings. Design Doll was heavily useful for this, especially with the Character Sheet, as i wouldn't be able to do anything as interesting in terms of poses without the use of the software. However, this was when I realised I was behind. It may not seem like it from this journal, but I had done no journal work and barely any of the tasks or essay. Because of that, I ha...
