Coursework Planning

Coursework Planning

The task set was to make concepts for a character, environment and prop that would all fit with one another. For example, the prop has to be the sort of thing the character would use, or the environment the sort of place the character would be in. I began this project by making a mood board to collect my ideas.

Environment

I knew I wanted a fantasy theme to my work, so I began by looking into environments drawn by other concept artists. I was mainly looking out for tall mountain valleys since this was the sort of thing I had in mind for my own work.

Character

For my character I was looking for a warrior type, either knight, hunter or wizard. After looking at some reference I decided on a hunter looking character, one who looks as if they survive off the land (i.e. fur armor, rugged face...)

Prop

As for my prop, it depended on what type of character I wanted to have. After deciding on a hunter type it felt most fitting to have a bow. However, something I had to be cautious of was to maintain the idea of a survivalist character, and so they likely would not have a very extravagant bow.
