Unit 6 1.2 STEC: Concept Art

-

 When trying to use concept, you must be open to use different ways in which to get the outcome you may desire.

Know the aspects of the idea you are working with and try to stay within those boundaries. First thing you will need to do is have a clear overall concept through many discussions with the employer. The artists need to understand the vision at which is trying to be described.

You could always use AI generated images as a sort of crutch but it would not be as thorough as if artists took their time to draw out the wanted image. But it would ruin the process of gathering reference material in order to get the desired type.

More that you could potentially use is some websites that can either help you give some prompts or does some of the work for you by making it do some art by giving it some prompts and it generates some work for you following under the AI influence.

Here are some websites:

conceptstart.net

RanGen.com

These two are simple yet effective prompt givers that randomize some results and make it so that anything can some from them. Its really efficient for creating background characters and things alike.

Heroforge.com

This website is extremely helpful when trying to create characters, I made an evil sorcerer with a pet familiar.

Or a Cyberpunk swordsman with a fresh style.
Or a samurai being attacked with a butchers knife.
You can also change his gear with spells and other weapons along a long list.
Its very useful when making a character so its a highly recommended website. It comes with many different poses for you to use to try and capture the posture correctly of the characters personality. It comes with many cool features to help and fully develop a character

YouTube is also a brilliant place to lookup tutorials even for pixel art in photoshop, simple tutorials such as Brackeys video.
From a bank canvas to a pixel art.

Pixelart.com
A free pixel art creator with lots of features to use to help create an art piece.
Many tutorials made by users for different varieties, so its very resourceful.
Highly Recommend.

Online Software To Help With Character Design No.2

RanGen.com : This software is incredible, I would use this regularly. It gives off loads of information for random characters and it has many more features than the last one I wrote about. I love that it gives so much about their appearance. It really gives way for concept art to be drawn of them. I really like the personality section due to its simplicity but yet effective use of many words to describe a person in a very short space. I love the detail it gives, who thinks about randomly generating 'personal status'? These guys. To even add a job with a satisfaction percentage takes much attention to detail. Love the idea of Marital status and how it shows their preference to gender. Shows that the people who made this took their time to think about the quality and the detail to offer. This is another feature I quite like. To add Religious views along with world and racial is an amazing feature to have as it makes thinking about characters views so much less time draining. I al

 So far i have started an assignment Unit 3&4 - Understanding an Audience. i am at the moment focusing on 1.2 as i have done the research needed to think about how the two digital products advertise to their target audience. I chose Spotify and Canva as they are two very different products but they advertise very similarly. I explained what Canva is and how it's a products for designers trying to seek out easy but easy to professionalize their design. I wrote about how Spotify is a online music streaming service that provides recommendations for new songs through lots of use. It was really easy as the internet was there for me to do some secondary research to find out how Canva advertises and what Spotify does to keep its good reputation across the internet. I wrote about both their income and how they quickly rose to fame. I wrote about who their target audience is and how they advertise to their needs. Both target a variety but stay in a category. Spotify targets people who l

1-7th December Weekly Bog Post

This is a weekly update. At the start of the week I took a picture of the outside of my house because I really liked the look of it. The fact that it was icy with completely dry patches where cars where overnight, seems really cool and gives me vibes like as a game progresses, the map around starts to change as well. Love that in certain games, you get objects in houses that are animated to move around which I really like about Graphic Designers and how they build and animated loads of stuff in games to then have that game to be really detailed but has a lot of space. The concept of tiny details being added is very cool. I really like minute details in games as it adds to that sense of hardship and dedication it must have taken to make something so small but in large quantities. I shows much perseverance and I absolutely love it.  ___________________________________________________________________________________ On monday we started doing Photoshop.
