A start to April

After working on the game Codey and I are Making..I came home and just drew this..

I really like it, as I think I'd just seen the 'Adventure Time' film on youtube. It's just a bit of a normal childhood fantasy of wanting to be something incredible...like a Transformer, or a Centurion (just like Daniel Gray).

I hope to draw some more this month...but it all depends on the game..

After having visiting Canada a couple of times, I became increasingly interested in it's wildlife...and when my friend Daniel Gray at Holbrooks films created a few images of Elk.... It inspired me to draw some wildlife of my own..two Dear and a Bear :)
and a wied dinosaur elk thingy...

I like Wildlife...especially that which doesnt exist in our country :) It makes t more mythical and special to me..

I also drew i silhoette which is ok :)

First meeting with Codey (and playing Megadrive games)

Hello,

This is my first real blog.... Since my last blog, I was wondering if I should work work on my own or not for this project. But, after a day or so, I decided that though my ideas may be strong, they could be vastly improved with someone else onboard.
So, incomes my new partner Codey Dyer. We've worked together before on a project, and it worked pretty well. I hope this time, we will be even better..

so, we had our first meeting on thursday last week (I would have writen this sooner...but I was in Brghton on the weekend and had no internet). I took in my megadrive and a few games I thought were pretty inspirational for my ideas so far. He bought his playstation and a couple more megadrive games.
We sat down infront of a lare tv and put across some things we liked about the games.
I havent got much time, so I will just outline what we took from all if the games..

The games we played were:
Strider
Shinobi 3
Rocket Knight Adventures
Earthworm Jim
Skull Monkeys

We both straight away, loved the idea of Speed. I also wrote dowwn on my pad, the words, Jump, Flow, Pace, Agility, Atmosphere, Adventure.
But, I suppose those might be key elements that are on any game, so its nothing too revolutionary just yet.
I really wasnt keen on making anything too epic, I'd just like to make something thats, simple yet saticfying, with backgrounds or evironments that give the illusion that theres more the what your seeing.
an example of effent I'd like to get is the free game, Knytt, made by Niffla.

Also, Abe's Oddysey and Exodus. Their backgrounds are so lush that give the impression of a fully living world. thats the kind of effect I'd like.
Im not too fussed about gameplay at the moment. I just know I'd like nice animations :)

Anyway, tonight, Codey is coming over to discuss further our ideas and what we'd like to achieve. We have a little presentation to do tomorrow. Im not entirely sure what we need to show, but i've got a few drawings to show, and Im sure after tonight, Codey and I will have plenty of things to discuss in our 5minutes.

I'll be sure to post the outcome of it within the next few days.
