Weekly Summary: 09

Learning Adobe Illustrator - 

i decided to start learning some illustrator in preparation for my specialism, I want to be able to create custom logos and graphics for my project. I am using a tutorial series from a youtube channel called 'Tasty Tuts' check them out here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWnkIPur2Q

I tasked myself with polishing off my portfolio logo in illustrator. 
Below is a screenshot of the logo

I also tasked myself with creating a simple and recognisable character that could feature in an app game.

Light Prototype Play-through - 

Here is a video showcasing the entire prototype level of my game 'Light'. Now that I have some gameplay I need to annotate it and get it ready to hand in.

Personal Projects - 

This week I started working on a hobby-project with a friend, he will program and I will create artwork, whilst teaching each other aspects of what we specialise in. After sitting down and brainstorming random ideas we decided to work on a game similar to Minecraft and Terraria. 

Our goal is to start simple and let the game grow with time, seeing it as more of an experiment than an actual product we would release. 

Anyway, the working title for the game is called 'Land'.

We started work on the start menu, which is working great, below is a screenshot of how it looks. 

For the art I decided to churn out some simple concepts as fast as possible to create a foundation for the game to go from, I've done much pixel art so it's good to learn something new. 

Below is another piece of concept art for a cowboy game that I am currently in the process of developing.
