So following on from my Fight Club post, the presentation has been...presented I guess? As I struggled with what topic to talk about - so many films, games and artists to choose from - I decided to base my presentation on Cristina Troufa. I spent a couple of hours nosing around on Pinterest when I saw one of her pieces. The particular piece I came across was 'Pregnant'...
So the past few weeks of game production have consisted of trees, vans and gladiators. Pretty cool stuff if I may say so myself. This term also concluded game production :( as sad as it may be, I've had a fabulous year and I feel like I've come a long way since day one where I had no idea what the hell I was doing. So I've gone from wonky/barely cylindrical...
In the previous critical studies seminar, us first years were set with the horrifying task of creating a presentation on art direction, based on a topic of our choice. This could be anything from a couple of film stills to a painting. (Still a daunting task whatever the subject matter is!) I thought I could use my blog as an opportunity to just have a little play around with...
So the Tuesday of this week marked the final game production hand in of the first year. I sort of feel really happy about this because I've managed to achieve so much in the 7 ish months I've been here at DMU and I feel really sad that the first year has almost come to an end! Anyway, for the past 5 weeks I've been creating my gladiator for the last project. For...

This led to us all being set an exciting - yet daunting - task of finding our dream job. I'm still not 100% sure on what I'd like to do yet however the past few weeks have involved working on a variety of different character design projects that have been set during visual design classes - as well as the...
So the self portrait project is over for now...which means more awesome stuff to do! Today we've been set the 'reef character project' in which we have to create a humanoid character which - funnily enough - has to be related in some way to deep sea creatures/reefs. I'm really, really excited about this project and I've started planning out my ideas already and creating...
So for this weeks visual design project, we've had to produce a self portrait. After having longer projects for the past few weeks, it felt strange to be almost back to normal... Anyway back to the selfie. During Mondays lecture, Mitch helped us out with a variety of different methods used for drawing characters. More specifically - faces. We also looked at Bargue Plates...
