Tips and Tricks




I was just poking around the interwebs because I was wondering if there was a way to make any video game 3D , even if the feature hadn't been initially available for the console or video game.

I still haven't found the answer I was looking for , but I stumbled upon this and thought it was pretty sweet!

Personal Inspiration


Andrew Bird is a violinist, as well as an awesome whistler  I'm not sure if his last name truly is Bird, but that explains the whistling in his musical pieces.

His music always calms me down , gets me stoked, or inspires me to do something artistic, creative or adventurous.

I loved his sounds the very first time I heard them, It was a song called Anonanimal which a friend of mine played a few summers back.

His songs tug my heart chords and make me feel ethereal, ironically insignificantly important. He showed me my souls reflection through his music.

To be completely honest , I didn't think thoroughly about deciding to get the cloud above tattooed on my forearm one day; but I'm certain I will get it done someday, but not entirely as a tribute.

INDEPENDENT PROJECT PROPOSAL PHASE 2

State your medium

My works will be created in Adobe Illustrator and will be available to the rest of the world via digital images. I know very little about using Adobe Illustrator, but through trial and error, I have been able to achieve specific tasks I set for myself.
I still need to learn how to fill quarantined areas of canvas with a solid colour.
This medium is suited for my topic, because I feel it would be much easier to keep things simple with the amount of tools and resources that are available to me in Adobe Illustrator. ********SIZE STILL NEEDS TO BE STATED *******


Indicate the concept of the proposed work

The subject matter is based on Life and Death; I will be sharing my personal views on Life and Death with my works. One piece will be showing the nature of Death, and the other will show Life carrying on beyond the establishment of death. I will be using technology to create vector based images that express my and display my views on Life being infinite, even after death, as well as the concept that death is an essential part of infinite life.

Anticipated Problems

Some artistic problems that I may encounter in the process of creating these pieces are keeping the images simple (Not clustered/ crowded), and delivering the message I want the audience to understand simultaneously. I will be facing many technical problems, but I have educated and experienced classmates, a wonderful teacher, and tons of problem solving skills; I’m confident that most of my problems won’t ever be too major.









Describe how will you use a unique composition and combination of media for your artwork.

Some discernible elements that will make my works dynamic are the way the snow and the leaves seem to be moving. My artistic approach for this project is inspired the information graphics that we previously worked on. The compositional choices I’ve decided to make reflect how simply I view the concept of life and death. I may add a circular shaped backdrop for one piece and use a square backdrop for the other just to clarify that they are connected.


Influences

Some similarities in choice of artistic style that my pieces share with Kate Bush’s “Suspended in Gaffa” are the simple shapes, and composition. The art style that I have chosen to execute can be categorized as Digital Art. To be more specific with my sense of direction, I will be using information graphics as visual references to influence my work.

TIPS AND TRICKS !! YAYYYYYYY!

This tutorial helped me so much, I was so lost without Megaupload . It wasn't until I literally couldn't find download links for any of the files I ever wanted or needed. Finding files is much easier with the help of bit.torrent , as well as faster.

Wild Card Optional

This is a band called Sambomaster. I discovered them through watching Masashi Kishimoto's anime Naruto. I chose to share this video because It's a lot of fun and I'm quite stoked on the fact that I ended up becoming more open minded as I grew , through the things that I love.

Child Of Light Developer Walkthrough


The art style and overall concept of this game intrigues me to an overwhelming extent, it makes me sad that it hasn't been released yet; I'm already dying to play it. I also noticed that Ubisoft has taken a step outside of their signature obstacle course style of gameplay, which is definitely a positive sign. Ubisoft stepping outside of their traditional style truly sets the bar for other Video Game developers out there, it also broadens the entire spectrum of gaming types . Meaning, that some gaming genres may meld to thus creating entirely new genres and play styles.

Grizzly Bear - Ready Able

This song and video altered and redefined my expectations for music videos and main focuses for videos. I love it inside and out, its a beautiful song and very other worldly video.

Artistic Inspiration

Hayao Miyazaki and his works inspire me thoroughly, he's the reason why I convinced myself to become an animator . His signature style and odd tales and stories both make me feel so complete.
I believe that it is his fantasy style in film making, animation and concepts that make his works so popular. I still have yet to see the rest of his films .
