My Assignment
Last week we completed our first sprint! I drew some concept art for the shadow monsters in our game who are going to be the "bad guys."

Quality
I completed concept art for four different monsters: a pray mantis, horse, armadillo, and dragon. I drew these in Photoshop. The quality was decent but I really want to get a more unique style. Three of the four had designs based on origami. The dragon was my personal favorite.

Extra
Though it wasn't assigned, I also wrote up a back story for the character and started working on a storyline for the game. I emailed it to the group.


Next Week:
Continue Shadow Monster Concept Art
Finalize the Story

Oct. 17-21

This week we are working on concept art to get the look and feel of the game. The assignments have been split between the four artists as four categories. The categories are backgrounds, weapons and objects, main character, and shadow monsters.

Update Oct 16

I just want to give you an update of what I've done this week. I am now the art lead, so I created an artist's backlog document on google docs that includes a list of art assets. All of our artists are now able to share our ideas online.

First Stretch

Now that we've all been introduced, our team is ready to get started. I was chosen to be an art lead, which means I will be in charge of the overall art style in our game. I want to try creating Japanese Ink painting style art, similar to Okami, but am not sure how to actually implement it. Over the break, I must try some experimenting.
