After much procrastination - I mean - consideration!

I have decided that I might need to give my Alice cover a re-think. I am finding the creation of the background image of London to be quite challenging as I have never before drawn digitally a landscape - let alone one so iconic. I will post up some thumbnails of new layout ideas in a following post; I plan to keep Alice quite unchanged as I am happy with her appearance at present. However with layout changes, you often begin to reconsider your initial drawing in more detail and she may change form yet again!

Special Mention; Chris Barker who helpfully challenged my thinking at work yesterday about what I should try drawing for the cover. His idea of Alice emerging unscathed from a burning building piqued my interest so expect to see some according thumbnails soon!


Also a mention to www.textureZ.com for their excellent free texture library!  :)

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"
