Digital Dreams

I have chosen to look into concept art- specifically character design. I will look for artists who design characters for tv shows, films and video games.

I could study how artists create characters and from that, design my own characters. I could also create a concept for an existing character, or for an existing movie for example.

I will be working in the genre of sci-fi and fantasy.
I will look into concept artists, starting with Nathan Fowkes.
I will look into 3d models and how they are made using programmes such as Z-brush and Blender.
I will use comics and concept art books from home as inspiration.

Project Proposal

Areas to explore:

Character design variations- outfits
lighting
3d models- computer
3d models- clay?
designing environments
consider practicality with designing a character (functional)
perspective - size of character relative to environment
various proportions- different designers stylise their characters e.g. very skinny legs and large head.
take concept artists designs and finalise them the way a character designer would
