Some inspiration...

...can be found on my Pinterest board here! I'm looking at crafted creatures at the moment and I'm currently thinking I should model some kind of bird/squirrel/bunny or another small creature, as well as something bigger. I adore owls, foxes, deer, raccoons, lynx... So maybe something along those lines.

Oh! I just realised: when I did my Mythical Creatures research I fell in love with jackalopes. Bunnies with antlers? Best ever. Right. I'm modelling a jackalope. And maybe something bigger. Sketches and more research tomorrow!

I mean... Come on! My head explodes just looking at this. From this thread. (Jillybeans, 2011)

Introducing Meadow

New blog, new module, new year! Whooosh! Exciting stuff :)

I thought I'd start by posting the BEAUTIFUL design doodles from Tuesday's class. Excuse the depressing scans!

Ideas for the game and the cross-platform functionality.

Small doodles for the art style/3D scene.

Nailing down the compulsion loop and project work.

I turned one of the little doodles into a bigger drawing in Photoshop, yay!

I've turned all this into a fancy PowerPoint presentation which can be found here. It outlines the game idea, the cross-platform functionality, the compulsion loop as well as the project work proposal.

I want to start modelling as soon as possible because it's been an absolute ETERNITY since I even touched Maya, so once this is greenlit I'll start gathering some references and get cracking on the concepts!
