Final Major Project 2019
Following through from a task I was given to get onto the course at Hertfordshire University, I want to explore this further. I intend to look into different aspects of creating a game. Steps such as, Concept Art, 3D Digital Modelling, Texturing and then using what I have created by putting them into a game engine. I have based this idea from the response that I received following my University interview. I want my Final Major Project (FMP) to help me progress further with what I have learnt from doing this new work. While exploring my own concept art, I will want to explore artists that are masters in this creative area of work. Alan Lee is one illustrator who comes to mind when I think of concept art, he’s someone I’ve looked into in the past and I’ll continue exploring his work throughout the project. I intend to visit lots of historical locations that are based locally where I live. I want the meaning behind my work to have some deeproot connection to the heritage of where I grew up, perhaps by including the sea, mountains and castles. Drawing from life will be a key aspect of my work, as will exploring new drawing techniques such as 2-point perspective drawings. Using the internet to generate ideas will be something that I always do. However, I find books and pamphlets and many other sources of information useful. All of these areas that I want to explore are highlighted in the course guide that I received from my University.
