 Week 1: Create a robot from an allocated Abbreviation "RVSP"

The task was to create a robot from the abbreviation RVSP which is for the french saying "répondez s'il vous plaît" which means please reply. However, there were a few conditions we were not allowed to create robot underneath the original definition but instead had to find new words to place underneath each letter and still have it make sense. The words that were chosen were "Royal Village Sorting Platoon" which are a platoon of postage robots commissioned by the royal French Embassy and serve the function of replacing post-men and being able to deliver digital and physical messages more securely as well as provide vital information to local residents.

Week 2: Learn how to create Perspective grid in Photoshop

The lesson learnt was the correct resolution for art its usually 72PPI for standard art as that is the resolution most screens can handle however if you intend to make a high quality print of your artwork go for 300 PPI as this ensures when it gets printed out it has nice crisp quality without the use of any funky AI upscaling technology that does not always work out nicely.

Furthermore, using the shape tool I learnt how to make a perspective grid with multiple points adjusting the polygon tool settings tool to create a star shaped path that work as perspective points and using this I began to create a rough mockup of a factory environment and also a hand reaching out of a box.

Capstone - Quietus: Through The Cracks

 Quietus : through the cracks This concept idea is my final year project that aims to conceptualise the characterisation of death throughout cultures and fantasy in all senses. However, there is a twist the goal is also to study the toys to life genre and seeing why it disappeared and how could it be brought back better in a fresh form to begin a new life cycle of trial and error. However, for more information on what Quietus actually is I shall explain Quietus is an adventure game that allows you to explore the underworld using character cards that the player can scan using a device which will allow you to use different Keepers which are all different depictions of the death throughout the world’s diverse range of religions and cultures. Furthermore, Keepers use an elemental class system similar to other card games like for example ; Pokémon or Digimon and these elements decide how achievable levels will be and how much of the story you discover for example, if you enter an ...

Emerging Technology : 3D Printing Blog

 3D printing : Exploring 3D Printing as an Emerging Tech Hero Forge is an online character customization service that allows you to kitbash your own character for 3D printing using a wide array of premade assets. This service is particularly popular among enthusiasts of tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, as it enables users to create highly personalized miniatures that can be brought to life in their campaigns. Intrigued by the possibilities, I decided to explore Hero Forge by creating a figure of the 11th Doctor from the sci-fi television series "Doctor Who." The platform provided a plethora of customization options, including various facial features, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories, which allowed me to closely replicate the iconic look of the 11th Doctor. I was able to choose his distinctive tweed jacket, bow tie, and even his signature Sonic Screwdriver. The detailed design process was intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to adjust and refine each aspec...

The Multiplayer Group - Game Artist Brief

Task : Create a character based on these prompts Steampunk Cowboy Evil Princess Alien Chef (Chosen option) I chose alien chef as I really want to this academic year lean more into creature design as thats a huge pleasure of mine and has so many opportunities for unique designs. Furthermore, one of my favourite animals is squirrels since I spend a good portion of my free time feeding them down the park so I have gained an admiration for these little furry critters so I used them as the main inspiration for my alien chef. Additionally, I noticed I am really bad at drawing plus sized anatomy so really wanted to try make all my thumbnails and eventual final design a very chunky squirrel inspired Alien. For my moodboard I tried drawing inspiration from animals, body types and childhood media such as Skylanders Swap Force and Treasure Planet which both explore animals being humanised in different ways which I thought would help broaden my mind to new perspectives during this project. Showcas...
