Week 1 (JAN 12)

 

 

The new beginnings

Here we are in a finish straight and we all can see the end of our studies!
This means we have a half of year to create high-level artwork for our Final Major Project.

Planing and goals

We are collecting reference that fits our idea. I chose to do an industrial type of building where every bit of it functions and makes sense. No sci-fi parts or weird glowing lights.

The main idea of this work is “AI took over the steering wheel of a big company that used to make robot parts.”

Problem: What’s going to happen? Why AI took over? What parts AI is making now and what is the reason behind it?

Goal: To create a realistic playable environment that fits our industry standards. Produce good artwork for a portfolio that will make me hireable.

I already pitched my idea to lecturers and they seemed pleased about it. They gave me positive feedback and dropped a couple of tips and topics or artists to follow. I felt optimistic and rally fired up after my presentation. 

I really do believe in luck and/or destiny. It is always a gamble when you start a new project, you never know what the outcome will be. But couple days after choosing a name for this project and pitching it, a strange thing happened: I was working in my part-time job picking clothes in a warehouse and I noticed that the next item that I need to pick is indigo colour jeans. This item had a code which was TO372IND14R! TO 372 IND? Coincidence? Maybe that’s a small sign that I have The Luck on my side and my idea is approved! Now I just need to push hard to reach my goal. I am quite optimistic about it and I am sure it will be a really strong artwork. 

Pictures below show how I imagine my project should look like:
