1. Power Up the week!
|
What? This week i worked much with the art for the Power Up’s for our game. In particular two different kinds of flashlights, a battery and fireflies. The dual flashlight are suppose to give the character a wider range in the game and the search light a longer range on the flashlight the she uses to kill the enemies with while the battery simply is there to give more power the the flashlights. The fireflies will simply follow the character and keep her totally safe for a period of time. How? I drew everything in Photoshop with some inspiration from the concept document but also other sources like my own fantasy and google. To start with i did some final changes to the dual flashlight sprite i did last week since we needed it to have two flashlights crossed instead of only one single one. For this i used the concept art from the Game document. Since there were no concept art for the battery and since i did not really think the style on the searchlight fit well with the other art I search for inspiration on other places or came up with my own ideas. However for the dual flashlight i used the art from the concept document. I started planning on the look of the fireflies and decided together with the other graphic student in my group how i should plan the art for it. Why? Since I am the head of the sound but still are a graphic student I decided to focus on the Power Up’s and not so much on the more advanced art and designs that require more animation to it. That way I would be able to work more on the sound aspect on the game and the lead art would work more on the art for the characters and enemies for the game. I worked on the Power Up’s this week simply because we need to imply it to that game pretty soon since we should have a Alpha version of the game done next week.  |
