Cameron Powell Specialism Concept Art - Week 12

 This week, I decided that I should draw more of my concepts digitally. That way, I can fix areas of a character that needed improving and experiment with different colour palettes. 

I wanted to try my hand at using a drawing tablet, so I asked Steven if I could borrow one. 

I started by drawing the outline of Axel. This first attempt did not turn out good. The paintbrush size was too large and my hand was twitching as I was drawing. I also had the Smoothness set to 0% which made the outline even more messy.


For my second attempt, I used a smaller brush size and Smoothness set to 80%. I also managed to draw in details such as Axel's face and symbol. This turned out much better than the previous attempt, as the Smoothing helped make the lines straighter as I drew them. However, I still thought the paintbrush was too thick and the canvas wasn't large enough.

For my third attempt, I used a much smaller paintbrush and I made extensive use of the Magnifying tool to draw the details more accurately. 

Afterwards, I decided to colour the drawing in with flat colours. I have made a couple of tweaks to the initial drawing as I was colouring, such as thinner arms and raised eyebrows.

Cameron Powell Specialism 2D Beat 'Em Up Game Canned

Why I decided to drop the 2D Beat 'Em Up game idea On January 11th 2024, I decided to drop plans to make a 2D Beat 'Em Up test level for my Specialism Project. As a result, I decided to remake my proposal, removing mentions of me developing an Unreal Engine game, as well as a new GANTT chart  and mind map.  There are a few reasons why I came to this conclusion. For starters, I felt that making a level on Unreal Engine was too ambitious for my project and it would have taken up a large amount of time to work on, particularly the programming. If I wanted to express my creativity and interest in superheroes, it would have been beneficial if I stuck to Concept Art.  There's also the fact I am unexperienced with making levels on Unreal Engine, especially ones that utilise 2D sprites. While working on it could have helped developed my skills, making a 2D beat 'em up level had very little to do with the premise of the Specialism project, to express my creative skills and in...
