Quick Brainstorm - CS

Our group has decided to carefully weave our research on character portrayal, use of environment, sound and immersive gameplay in Eastern and Western gaming (!breathe!) around the topic of Female characters in both Eastern and Western games.

I play to look at two recent and prominent western games; Bio-shock Infinite and The Tomb Raider Series. Both games feature a strong female character, and both games are regularly in the press over how the female heroines are portrayed. Most notably for the cup-size of their female assets (shall we put it in such a way?)

To contrast this I will research into two eastern games which are covered in the press for similar reasons.

I am a Second Year Games Art and Design student at Norwich University of the Arts. After exploration of a number of roles in my first year, I am now looking to graduate as a 3D Artist with applicable skills in Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush and Photoshop. I understand that my skills in this field are not there yet - but I aim to achieve this goal through consistently working through the programs in my University and Personal Projects. I love to be busy - I have always had a lot of things on my plate since the age of 7 where I successfully balanced school with Ballet, Tap, Horse-Riding, French, Piano and Singing Lessons! In the same fashion, my university schedule is just as hectic and varied; I am a Peer Mentor to first year students, Student Rep for Second Year, and President of the Enterprise Society. Like I said, I love to be busy! I am a Games Hippie - so to speak - I believe that Games if designed and harnessed in the right way, will be able to help solve many of the global issues we have today - even if it starts off in a small way. Just look at the positive effects that Facebook and Twitter have already had... When navigating my blog;
  • Works in Progress - This section is a constantly running account of all my current projects - personal and for university. It will contain reference images and website links and sometimes less than coherent posts, so be prepared!
  • Finished Pieces - This is where you will find my more polished artwork. Looking for help with Maya? Check out the posts tagged "Maya How-To's"
