Cameron Powell Specialism Concept Art - Week 13

This week, I decided to do some drawing exercises to showcase my workings out.

The first exercise I did was drawing out three more of my best concepts on Photoshop whilst timing myself.

I started with Selena, since she got the most votes on my first Form spreadsheet due to her dynamic pose and facial expression compared to my other character concepts.

I first drew her using a mouse. It took me around four minutes to draw her outline. I wasn't too pleased with the results, since it looked rather rushed.


I decided to draw Selena again with a drawing pad. While it took longer, it definitely looked a lot better than my previous attempt. The only area I felt needed improving would be a thicker paintbrush size. 



The next two I did were Ash and Lollipop. Both of them took significantly less time to draw than Selena, especially Lollipop.




Then I began to apply shading and Photoscrap textures onto my characters, using this video as inspiration.

I started by colouring behind my character sketches. 


I then started applying realistic textures onto the characters, tinting some of their colours in the process.

Afterwards, I have applied lighting and shading to give them more depth.

I actually used a chocolate texture for Lollipop's hat, alluding to her candy motif.

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...
