The first part of this blog will concern research into this, with the second part of the blog discussing opportunities that I could use to gain exposure for my work. There are many areas accessible by the general public where animation is used including the retail, business and leisure sectors. We were asked to consider existing and historical examples where animation has been used, everyone is aware of animation in film and television but its application is much more widespread. Research existing and historical examples of the application and uses of Animation in all forms, as accessible by the general public in public spaces, inc, leisure, business & retail, in an online setting or in any other public media setting

I will be discussing my ideas with my tutor very shortly and deciding which one I will develop into my FMP, my ultimate aim is to create a Concept Art book on the project and try and get it self published using Kickstarter. Once again as I was trying to improve my Photoshop skills, I developed this picture into something further. This idea was born out of a character that I created while playing with Photobashing (as seen below) My second idea for my FMP was a Zombie apocalypse game, this idea is still very early stages and in my next post I will have a basic story and more ideas for gameplay etc. Here I added a Bow to the character to try and give it a different feel, I also played with the colour to image how he would dress in different environments – jungle, urban, night etcīelow I was playing with Photoshop to create a piece which was in keeping with the ancient look of the Ninja, I wanted look like it had hints of it being on a scroll or a Japanese war illustration.īelow was just a piece tying the two characters together once again just playing on Photoshop. Below I then attempted to create the sane image but with it raining. The picture above is a design for one of the Ninja characters, he is pictured in the forest in twilight.

I actually created the imaging using a TV as a monitor and the resolution wasn’t as high as a laptop screen, so although it looked okay on my TV it isn’t very good when view properly, but it was my first attempt and I learnt a lot doing it and my next environment piece will be much stronger as a result.īelow was the first character design that I created around the idea, there are several incarnations later in the post, these were really just exercises experimenting and improving my Photoshop skills. Here is some of the concept art I have produced so far:Ī quick environment design, this was actually created using a photograph of our college building, this was the first picture I created which combined digital painting and photo textures, I am happy with building and the broken car, I am not at all happy with the foliage and trees. The game will be a 3rd person stealth and combat simulation, with the emphasis on infiltrating enemy strongholds and assassinating key enemies.”

This game is set in a post apocalyptic Japan, our protagonists adventure through many varied environments featuring jungles, ruined cities and alien spacecraft. It is rumoured that as well as being incredible warriors these Ninjas also possess mystic powers. The World’s last chance is The League of the Dragon, an ancient Japanese clan of Ninjas with wisdom and knowledge being passed down throughout the centuries. They operate from their colosall pylons, slowly extracting all the Earth’s resources, while most of the world becomes ruined and desolate, small pockets of resistance hide in caves and tunnels but their attacks remain futile. The Aliens used EMPs which knocked out all of our manufacturing and soon our armies ran out of ammunition, what happened next was a slaughter, billions perished and now the Aliens control our world. “The year is 2075, its been almost 50 years since the Aliens first made contact, a violent war ensued and most of humanity was destroyed. I firstly created several pieces based around Ninjas and this quickly evolved into an idea for a game, the basic outline for the game is below: I have been considering 2 options for final major project (FMP), these have both been born out of pieces that I created over the summer, I was toying around with new techniques trying to gain new skill sets and I started using photo texturing.
