WEEK 3

Monday 25th February

Today i had to finish of the concept drawing i was making of Ish's character for our 2D game, all i really had left to do was go over it and make a clean neat version of the drawing and also colour it in afterwards. Once i had done that i started looking at some game sprites so i can start creating some movement for the characters to animate it, however that is Ejay's job in this group so i will go over the sprites he has created and changing specifics on it, like the character himself, the clothing and changing the movement of each character slightly so its more unique for each character.

I also added things from recent projects to my portfolio for my Uni interviews to come because i have one scheduled for the 27th of February so it is crucial i have these things so i can show some of the work i do at college.

Tuesday 26th February

Today i started drawing up some of my fighting sprites, but first i chose the set of moves i want for my character such as his specific punches and kicks and i also got the way our characters are going to be blocking moves and how they would be if they got hit by the enemies and how they would look running in the game.

Once i had chosen them and layed them out on Adobe Photoshop i started going over them but recreating them to make them look look my character.

Friday 29th February

Today i carried on with my animation sprites. I got as far as doing all the moves my character will do in the game. The only thing i haven't done is colour it in, so to see what it will look like coloured in i did my first kick and coloured it in on Adobe Photoshop and then saved each separate image as a JPEG so i could see what it would look like in the game as an animation. I was pleased with the outcome, however that's all i had time for today so i will continue with it next week.

WEEK 1

Friday 1st February

Today was the first official day of this project, so we got into groups of 2 and 3, my group is a total of 3 people, me, Ish, and Ejay. For the first day we was deciding on the type of game we wanted this to be we came up with a range of ideas and decided it should be a fighting/shooter game, and as we was deciding that we was talking about the kind of layout the game will be on and we came to a decision that the best outcome would be from a side scroller.
Then we started deciding on what characters should be like, we decided they should be based on us three, in a manga styled art form, and we also went through how we are all going to have a roll in making the game.for the first and second week we will be constantly drawing, me and Ejay will be drawing concept are and animation for the game characters, and Ish will be drawing the levels and how they will look, and everything else to do with the levels.

Monday 4th February

Today we started drawing everything, i got as far as my characters face and Ejay had got as far as his characters face and Ish already had ideas for the game and how the levels will look. throughout the day i just further developed my character and got as far as the body.

Tuesday 5th February

Today i have been on Adobe Photoshop neatening my players body up and making it more proportional, and cleaning it up so it can be a good concept art for my character. I also found a great skin colour which is extremely close to my actual skin colour which makes it even better, so now all i have to do is finish neatening it up, and fully colour my character and i will be done creating this concept art piece for my character, and i will then be able to move on and create Ish's character.

Thursday 7th February

I spent the morning in the lesson finishing of my character, i have finally made it proportional and have also coloured it in from the skin colour to the colours of his joggers and trainer. however i spent time doing this because i experimented doing different colours to see which one looks better suited for my character, by the end of the lesson however i had finished my full character and was more than pleased with the result.

Friday 8th February

Today i started creating Ish's character for the game, this included me needing to take a picture of Ish's face so i could work of the pose i needed him to be in for the concept art i will create of the character i am basing him of. So i drew up his face on a piece of paper and then i scanned it into the computer so i could continue creating it on Adobe Photoshop. I went through the same process i did to create my characters concept art for Ish's concept art also. I had got as far as creating a online drawing of his face and then editing some of his head gear such as a do rag, and had finished colouring in his face.
Now all i have to do is create his body on Adobe Photoshop.
