A new course, Introduction to Game Development! First week? Wut

2D graphics and applications I is now finished and so I start a new course. Introduction to Game Development, oh so exciting!! This is a continuation on my first course Game Analysis and Game Design, that I had last semester. I have been now moved to a new group, and this time instead of creating a game concept we have to create an actual game based on another groups idea.
So now we are three weeks into the course, not the […]

2D Computer Graphics Numero DOS!! I can see colors!

So Hello again! A new year, and a new course begins! This time it’s the continuation of the course 2D 1, which is called… 2D 2~
I’m going to post some pictures from this course now and then. But I will unfortunately (or fortunate for you) not post deep reflections over these. As I’m currently occupied by the development of a game and the reflective posts I’ll be doing on that matter.
So here is the first thing that I’ve done for […]

Last week, The final countdown!

This week was the final week for the course, so this was my final assignment. We got two things we had to do. One already drawn environment that we had to shade and one rough sketch we had to make solid. This assignment was pretty fun to do but took up a lot of time. Mostly because I’ve had a few problems with my tablet, first losing my pen and then the actual tablet deciding not to work. So everything […]

A whole new wooorld, week 6 shading

This week my assignment were to correctly shade my character and place it in a believable scene. For me, this was an unbelievable hard assignment to do. I had absolutely no experience of shadowing, specially since I pretty much learnt how to draw at all from this course. And me being really indecisive about what environment to place Sam in, made it even more impossibly hard for me. Finally I chose to place Sam in an alleyway, in the moment […]

Week 4, Hey… you got something on your face, let me clean it up!

So this week we had to clean up our old character from week 2, and draw clean line-art. We also had to make a turnaround of the same character. This time I was a bit slow though. And didn’t do my best work as I had to rush it in in time. I was really disappointed of myself and decided to re-clean both of them on my free time.
Here you can see the original assignments, and the re-cleaned ones.

Hey, look over there! Week 3, Perspective

This week my assignment were to draw an air plane and a car in a two-point perspective scene. For me, this was a really challenging assignment to draw. I did have some basic knowledge of perspective from when I was younger. But I’ve always been really bad at it. And it didn’t help either that I often remake things over and over again, because I feel its not good enough (can drag out the time). But when drawing this assignment, […]

Week 2, Constructing a character

This week I had to choose one thumbnail out of my twenty, that I made last week. I had to choose one, because our assignment this week was to construct a character out of it. This, for me was really hard. It took almost the whole week to settle on one idea. But I finally did it, and I think I’ve made a good choice.
I chose the androgynous Asian child. I did this because I felt it was the most […]

Start of my journey, 2D Computer Graphics, Week Uno~

This week I for the first time started to learn how to draw. Le gasp. We started by having some croquis lessons, and then got our first assignment! *Here is my reflections
This week I chose the concept “Clash of Heavens”. It seemed like a challenge since it had quite a vague character description. Only that the character should be tough, stubborn and a bit snarky. And that the character lives in a modern dark and gritty version of our time. […]
