 Studio Practice

By Ryan Cudworth

23rd September 2024

Within this lesson, we talked about the fundamentals of arts and went over our general knowledge making sure that we could understand where we were at as artists so that as we go through the years Will be able to develop our skills and make sure we get to a place good enough by the end of our uni Experience. 

Within this first lesson, we were given a test to get into a group and design catches based on general themes that are mostly used for video games. Within my group, we Had chosen with the genre of Historical accuracy, Which means that we had to create characters that are not only Historically accurate, but without any other mystical or magical themes within the design designs. Me and my group had decided to go for the Viking age since it fit within our timeframe and I decided to do the villain for this assignment. The others tackled the mentor and the henchman. And after we are decided what we were going to do, we went into doing our concepts sketches for these characters mapping out how they may look their body type weapons they might use. I’m trying to get a general view of character and design. Wasn’t long enough we weren’t able to create any final images for our characters.

Homework

For the homework we have been set to finish off the characters that we are creating with our groups. This had to be a full body Drawing of the character. And had to not be in any kind of colour this was supposed to be all just line art, But we could add shadows and shading to the character as long as there was no colour to it.

For my character, I decided to not add any colour or even shading since I wanted it to look as if it was in a colouring book and Give whoever was colouring it more freedom to do whatever they wanted having any restrictions of where the shadows would go.

For this lesson we talked and looked at colour theory and looking how colours can change how a piece of art looks and affects the feel of the art. We also when into detail about techniques that also link to colours and shapes.

We also looked at how using shapes and how to use them to make buildings, with simplified down to large, medium and small versions of the same shapes. We also were set a tast with making and designing a small shack using the info that we had just learned.

Homework

For the homework we had to take another persons character that are drawn previously yeah for the last time and colour it in. Using what we had learned within the lesson to help us decide how to colour them. Using shading and colour fairy to help us show the character through the colours.

Ryan Cudworth Hello, as I have said my name is Ryan Cudworth. I'm an Games Art Student and I like creating and drawing traditional and digital art and I've done a bit of 3D work as well. I'd like to become an concept artist for a gaming studio and maybe one day make my own comic.  I had chosen to go into doing Games Art course since I have always liked being creative and drawing, just as much as I've liked playing tones of different games, and always wanted to help make a game of my own one day, so the chance to go into and Games Art course I wasn't going to pass up that chance.  Here is the work that I had done for my pre project. I had done my work inside of PowerPoint, since it was the most easy way of formatting all my work together and less stressful.   for this project we were tasked to create a concept for a hero character for a new game that would allow people to create and grow their own hero and make it just like them. to help show that we also had to make...

Designing A Game World   By Ryan Cudworth For this project, we have been given the task to design a game world. More specially we have been given two sets of prompts That will have to use together to help us create and design the environment for this assessment. For the first promises that we have been given a list of around five different environments in which we can choose to use for our assignment, And for the second we have been given Also five different cultural artefacts That will have to pick from and choose design details and shapes within them to help us design and crate environment. We are supposed to take these two different prompts and somehow figure out how to put them together in a way that would work. We have free range on which type of environment And artefacts we choose and how we decide to put it together.  Will have to create Around 100 different concept sketches just for the basic style and look for our environment. These concepts sketches are supposed to g...

Designing A Games World: Summative Submission By Ryan Cudworth Research I’ll be starting off my research by talking about my source material that I was given for this project And going into detail of what this project is about and all the different tasks that I’ve been said to help me work my way through this project.  For the project itself, but we were given the test to create an environment based on a prompt that we could choose ourselves that would be of the type of environment that would be creating all of them being different types of buildings or environments that were around a fantasy setting for a hypothetical game. These prompts included different kinds of huts or interiors that we could choose from, this is so that we can’t just go wild with our ideas and create whatever we like. We need to stick to a certain prompt that would be very useful later on when we work into a game company or whatever and they tell us what we need to create something for. We need to be able to ...
