exploring ideas

i looked at lost of different concept art and researched different styles, furthur to my research i searched video game art and noticed many similarities in most teenage games ,which made the graphics seem boring and unsual dar colour ranges. the locations may be different, but were often revealing the exact same dark, mood. i didnt like the idea of it at all so i decided to make my game age range for 8-15 year olds because it was more colourful and adventurous than serious and frighting. 

 

this is a range of styles i like for a theme of a game or idea.

task.1a

The theme of adventure

from Latin ad meaning 'to'. venture a risky or daring journey or undertaking.

Adventure, quest, journey, voyage, ride, trip, a travel, peregrination, odyssy
- A journey that leads you to new things full of great excitment, thrills, amusments, dilemas. its finally meeting what was waiting with all of the other things you never saw, or knew once before. its creating situations full of both good and bad. its walking outside the box and being lost, only leading you to finding your whole.

Adventure in games: fulfilling a task, saving someone, hunting down, surviving consiquences, defeating, solving. there are many diferent kinds of adventure games and can be put in any theme such as pirates and treasure, to rescuing a damsel, to being lost somewhere trying to get out.

concept- a thought or notion, a creative idea, a predicate, something concieved, a plan. a thought out thought. its the creation and furthur creation; the expantion of something conceived through your own thoughts and imagination.
 this quote inspires me because it describes adventure, but what really sparks it is that somewhere ive never been that doesnt even exist is everything i can create in a video game. its my world to make and the process of making it happen is my adventure, and a place of adventure to be explored in wonderous ways by others.

life itself is a constant adventure, an exploration, a vision we try to focus, its a journey set out to find the peices, like a pirates desire. to risk everything to go as far as you can to reach the unseen; till you have seen the unknown and unexpected. following a mystery.

 My most favourite adventure movie is the goonies.

task1: historical artists

howard pyle (1853-1911); was interested in writing and illustrating from a very young age, he later began to teach it and further more opened his own school of illustrating. one of his best was the merry adventures of robin hood. his illustrations were show in many magazines. his art was often used for insperation, after his death. it was his theme, style and portrayal. he was always very passionate about his work.



contemporary artist:
this kind of art style suits the video game theme, it portrays an intense adventure mood, and fits the suit of the apple to todays audiences eyes.
