OUDF502 - the hobbit concept art drawings

whilst i was watching the hobbit i started to realize that the work that they do on this films is so much they have to do all the animations and then the costume and concept art designs and it just makes me want to work for weta but sadly i carnt because f how far away they are but once i have seen the work that they produce i always get the feeling myself to start drawing something that i will in the end enjoy alot because ive always enjoyed doing fantasy drawings.

OUDF502 - concept art

whilst looking though the Internet i had came across this piece of concept art and it had me in absolute aw at how much fine detail had been put into it it just has be thinking of what to create over the holidays i think i am going to try and developed something as detailed as this so that i can come to make a animation of in but i mean traditional animation non of that 3D stuff its not the strongest point for me but this is a challenge that i think i might set myself.

OUDF502 - the amazing spiderman 2

the amazing spiderman 2 was fantastic film it kept unto its hype that was made about it and was also worth the long awaited time for it i did enjoy every minute of this film even the bits where spiderman had to be made completely into a cgi character because at the points where it happened i didn't realize until i went home and researched it myself but this is still an amazing sequel to the fist film and is a 10 out a 10 film .

OUDF502 - elder scrolls online

elder scrolls online was one game that i was looking forward to but once i had started to lay it i realized that it wasn't as good as they developers Bethesda had promise it was incredibly lagging in the towns the game is just very slow paces and all of the dialog from the npc characters are really dull i found this to be one of the most slow games i have played this year but then on the other side i really enjoyed looking at all the concept art work that had been created for this title and how they had been created

OUDF502 - RocoCop

when i watched the new robocop i didn't have high hopes for it because i am a really big fan of the originals but i was in aw at how incredible this film was all of the visuals where done so imminence quality and it didnt make me think that it was going to be a poor film anymore even the new story was great because of how it went compared to the original i loved this from start to end it is a must see if you haven't seen it already .

OUDF502 - PPP concept artist

when i look at artists that are in the industry there has always been one that i admire alot and thats martin deshambult he worked on most of the assassins creed games and i have always loved his work its inspired me a lot over the years because one day i want to be able to be that good i have loved how he used the colors to make the shapes of the character and also how he is able to convey what the character looks like just by adding certain types of clothing like this character for instance it is the main protagonist of assassins creed 3 Connor and it just gives me inspiration so that i am able to make stuff like this one day .

OUDF502 - watch dogs

watch dogs has to be one of the most anticipated games of 2014 and i can assure you i will be one of the millions of people to be purchasing myself a copy and this is because of the story i think it is a truly well though out story and also with how much realism has been put into the game itself just thinking about it you know that someone out there would actually be able to hack into everything this makes the game alot more appealing to be because it grabs on a subject so strongly and its something that i haven't seen done in a game before and this is what i believe makes it one of the most wanted games of this year because of how strong this story will actually be.

OUDF502 - infamus second son

at first i wasn't sure about this game but when i had looked at the concept work that is incredibly and beautifully details it made me think will i ever be able to get to that standard of work one day i hope that i will because i amm going to be trying my best to update my skills over the holidays so that when my final year comes i will be alot more focused on how i want my pieces of work to come out like an thats what i want to come across but then i started thinking what is the game like so i payed it minding i have never played a infamous game before and my god i was seriously shocked at the game it was perfect even though it has a controversial ending i still found it to be engaging with the player and a good way to and the game if you had either choose the evil path or the good path.

OUDF502 - killzone shadowfall

when i have had the chance to i have been playing killzone shadowfall and all i have to say is this is one of the most visually stunning games i have ever had the chances to play its absolutely gorgeous From cutscenes to game play is is seamless even the controller are perfect they have truly thought everything out for this triple a title but i digress before i played the game i took the time to delve into the concept art of the game and i was blown away from what i had seen an that put me in a good mood to thin that one day i will be able to be doing stuff like that for a company but that day is still long away but well wished for.

OUDF502 - PPP Tv series

i had just recent had the chance to watch merlin the tv series and i was blown away i though that the ending of the fifth season was a bit bad but unfortunately the show is now canceled but whilst watching it i notice all the vfx stuff that they had used and it was alot of flames and also a animated dragon voice by john hurt but this still put me in absolute amazement at it because i though this would e a good thing to give me ideas and also inspiration on what to make other the summer holidays.

OUDF502 - Snowdrop engine

when i first saw this game engine i wanted to be able to use it but i then discovered that i wont be able to because its currently been used to make the new tom Clancy game the division but i still have high hopes that one day soon i will be able to get my hands on this and start to create some wacky and strange things in the game space but until then i will just have to wait but then on the other hand i have unity 3D that i can use even though i carnt get the pro version i am still able to making something look nice on the engine.

OUDF502 unity 3D

when it came to this year i didnt realism hat i would have to use unity again but once i got my hands on the game engine i started to realize that hadn't forgotten that much i had been able to make something for the last brief i had but i was surprised by the outcome of it then it dawned on me that i really enjoy using and making game levels but i had always wanted to do concept art but i am still going to be following my dream and will be continuing to do concept art for my next year to come.

OUDF502 - ubisoft

as a game company over the years ubisoft have realease some of my favorite games that i have ever played but on the other hand i have always thought about how much time and effort they put into doing all of these projects and for some it can take upto 4 years even longer sometimes and it makes me think that if they can do it then so can i i have and always will love to play their games and i hope that in the near future i could be working for them but that is till in the further only time will tell but until then i still am going to be having much fun with what they have out at the moment like assassins creed, far cry and soon to be released watch dogs.

OUDF502 - PPP games and how they have developed further

i had recently been able to purchase a playstation 4 and this concole is truly incredible with what it can do and how well it cuts from cut scene to game play it is incredible they have managed to make something that is so amazing in my eyes i am looking forward to the new titles that will be coming out over the holidays an then its a great way for me to be able to start reviewing them as well because some of the games have been outstanding but then again with what you have already for the ps4 the new dual shock controller in perfectly balanced and even how they have integrated the touch pad in it as well works great with games its truly a next gen console .

OUDF502 - Yogcast

whilst we had the talk with game republic earlier today he mention yogscast with how well they have done every day they get 2.5million views and the most percentage is of the united kingdom but then they also have other views from all around the world that watch their videos but on the other hand it helped me knowing what to do for when i finish my year its given me insite in what to do if i want to go down the route of making a game then if i wanted to get it shown if i could get it to the yogscast it would be the most helpful when that time comes.

OUDF502 - Game Rupublic

earlier today whilst i was doing my end of year exhibition we had the chance to go and see a spokes person from game republic it was an extremely good thing that i went because i had learnt alot because of some of the things that i can do when it comes to the end of my third year and when i want to get into my career he had shown us alot of stats that helped me understand how the industry is going and how that game magazines arnt as useful in someways compared to what we can now do on youtube for instance there are more people today that would rather watch stuff on there about games than purchase a magazine and i found this information really help full because it shows me another way of me networking that i could possibly do to get myself out there and known to the gaming world of today.

OUDF502 - work that i will be doing over the summer holidays

over the holidays i will be starting to developed my skills further in the filed of concept art because when it comes to my final year i want to be able to show how much i have progressed with that being in how the pictures look or either with how they are drawn so im going to be starting to look at different types of human designs and perspectives then i shall be attending some life drawing classes so that it can progress further then it means that my work wont be the same quality next year but hopefully it should have improved .
because thats what i am wanting for my work i want it to look like it has drastically improved compared to this years stuff i have done.

OUDF502 - PPP learning journal

For this year i have come thought a lot of troubles and also then improved on alot of things like my drawings i feel like in the long run they have got alot better in how they look and also the finished design but i am needing to improve it more for my final year that will be starting in September but whilst im on the holidays i shall be trying to improve my skills so that when it comes to my work pace it shall pick up the pace alot more and then for my other projects they have been enjoyable but i felt like i wasn't being doing them as well as i could have been but this will stop once i am in my final year of study.

OUDF505 - the design started to shape up more

this is a brief part of where my design started to gather shape and then this is where it started to become a final design for my troll and its also about the tine where i had to be moved groups because of my group decided they didn't want me but nethertheless i still carried on worth doing work for there final designs but once i got moved onto a different group we had to start ,making stuff for a wild west game instead.

OUDF505 - more troll designs

after watching the hobbit i started getting a better look and design in my mind where apart of the troll could hae been made out of rock itself so it looks like the character has had to make him self pull out of the rock and then make his way to where the other charter is but then this look and design for me worked out really well because our idea we wanted it too look fierce and then to have it look really fierce and demanding in its way it presents it self.

OUDF505 - the troll

when it came around to me starting to create the troll design i started with alot of bulky designs for him because i though that it would have made the character look more like a heavy being walling around then when it came to the 3D modelling that would have added to it as well in that being making it look wighted and bigger than it was ment to be .

OUDF505 - mood boards that started the first idea

for my first group that i was in we had to design mood board of what we was thinking of creating and this is what my first group came up with whilst i was contributing on the concept side i started to also make my own moadboard and this is how it started out with me collecting images of different things that would show my idea and concept through alot easier 

OUDF505 - game art brief

when i started this brief i was thinking it would have been a great time for me to develop my concept much further than i have done before because thats the one thing i want to focus on more but when it came to it i started out in one group but then i had to be changed over into a different group but i found it to be benifincal for me because rather than me having to develop work on trolls and a tribal girl i was able to start making stuff on the wild west an that was a fantastic idea to me .
