Week 1!

So its the first week back and I have jumped straight into one of the many projects from the style matrix. Getting straight to the point, I chose the Nano Pirates brief for my first project. This means over the next 3 weeks I'll be designing 12 characters and a vehicle for them.

I kind of chose this project as stylized characters are very familiar ground to me. I wanted to ease myself back into University work, while still giving myself a lot of work to do. This project also seemed valuable as I am planning on doing something stylized for my FMP, so the more practice the better.

Here are some of the characters I have done so far:

It's been a fun challenge so far thinking up tiny objexts for them to use. Not much else to say really, just going to keep drawing. I will probably have more to say next week.

So far its just a bunch of concept art, but I kind of want to do some 3D for it, maybe some low poly characters and props. Here is some of the work I did for it over Summer:
