So, I've started to teach a Introduction to concept development and character design class for middle and high school students.
This past week we continued storyboard, framing and concept thumb nailing.

I ran out of time :<

CGMA 2012 Semester 1 week 2

Feeling the affect of lack of experience pretty hardcore right now.  I have ideas and I have problems putting them down on paper.  I also seem to have issues trying to do mid-shots and close ups.  I know the general camera angles and stuff, but for some reason I just lean toward the deep shots. 

I really feel like this week's assignment could use a lot more rework or something...

Fundamentals:

Assignment consists of creating 10 thumbnails from our own story creations.  I was going to do something related to the Carnelian project I created a while back, but the more I think about it, the more flaw I find in the story.

The project is pretty hard for me, I'm not sure what it is, but I feel that I am missing something in the thumbnails I've done so far.  This needs serious tweaking, I hope I have enough time to do so before due date.

For those who know me personally knows how much I am afraid of color and environment concepts.  So for the past couple of months I've been trying to take on color and now I am staring environment concepts in the eye.  
It is intimidating but I'll get through it some how! :)

Fundamentals for Creative Environment Design & Environment Sketching.

Shane the Mechanic WIP - Update 2

Did not work on this as much as I would have liked to, but some progress was made.

There is a light filter applied, the color will change slightly when completely done. :) (also ignore that weird arm, will be fixed)

Alchemy Works:

This is sort of an art dump of works done back during August -October 2011 while briefly involved working on a casual puzzle game.

Each stage takes place in a different part of the game world,  initial conceptual design of the world as well as several stage locations: Alchemy Lab, Cathedral, Courtyard, and Library.  Artwork was not finalized nor used for the game due to style changes from 2D to 3D based images.

Final personal development of the lab location.

Final sketch of the lab location.

Final rough sketch of the library.

Initial design for the library.

Final color scheme mapping.

Initial location design and color mapping.

Passages between locations.

World map design.
