Concept Evolution

Session Notes

Returning to meet Paul Hazel once more, I understood that during our conversation and slight debate my original actions of having each image serve as a visual representation of a psychological or dream state lacked any narrative, creating weak images.

So some of the keywords I absorbed from Pauls words were to...

  • Make a visual narrative (comic book) of individual character on the airship.
  • Each person will represent different aspects of lucid nightmares, isolations.
  • The airship is the visual key that links each scene together.
  • Escapism is a form of stimulation and vitiation mentally and physically.

Further, as I returned home I contemplated on the narrative for these images since telling a story is an effective and simpler method of getting my points of self-awareness for your environment across.

Moreover, I decided to use the pigeon character I used in my consensus reality mock-up the image and from my rough sketches of pigeon heads have a family of pigeons similar to that family preparing to board the steam train in that advertisement from the Metro newspaper.

Group Meeting & Visual Idea Contemplation

Session Notes After briefly meeting Paul Hazel my project mentor I needed to collect my thoughts and return back to the dreamscape project. Since I had left my ideas for the scenes floating in the ocean for some time. Furthermore, remembering Paul's advice and my own on making most of the scenes grounded and somewhat relatable I have decided to focus on using entrapment as my visual representation for lucid nightmares. Furthermore, the consensus reality scene I created with a group of people staring on their phones will now feature a hand-drawn character will loo towards the passengers engrossed within their book or phones and will attempt to talk to them. After searching through various media such as the internet, magazines, newspapers and books I began to found various artists such as Marty Cooper a cartoonist who placed his cartoon characters in real-life environment and scenarios. Which were hilarious but his style is an excellent reference for my consensus reality s...

Final Project Concept Thoughts

Image
Session Review A fter contemplating over nihilism I then read through an old spy craft book at home and the encrypted puzzles inspired me to combine my skills and passion for 3d modelling and sound design and create a series of interactive puzzles for my final major project. The reason behind this decision is simply due to artwork that is interactive and engages my audience will be far more interested compared to a passive piece of artwork, regardless if it intellectually challenges the viewer.

Asset Preparation:CG Airship Session 1

Image
Session Review After developing my investigation and concepts for some time, I decided to retunr to maya and continue developing my 3d skills by modelling a few test air ship bodies. A simple cylinder with ten sub divisions were used in order to match the foolds of the ballon in the reference image (figure a). Moreover, once I applied enough edge loops on the cylinder polygon it started to match the shape of the illustration. Figure A Furthermore, the balloon was surprisingly simple to create;however the small boat in the illustration was not the intended style of airship I wanted but I was going to replicate the drawing regardless. Instead I copied the balloon and created another passenger carriage that looked more like the carriage of a train (figure b).
