ideation pt. 1

Art, portfolio, school

Hey!

So it’s my second blog post because well, I need to write something here, right?

My drawing module had an assignment issued to us quite recently. Our task is to choose three stacked objects and then transform it into either a building, robot or some sort of vehicle. I was never one to design or draw buildings, robots or vehicles so I was like, “THIS IS THE DEATH OF ME!”

But assignments are assignments and there are graded, so I gotta do it.

The objects I chose were stacked like this:

My head went, “There goes my 3.5 GPA.”

The first thing we had to do is to draw the outline of the stacked objects. Which resulted in this!

Simple start. Though this was actually the second attempt cos the first time I did it, the teacher said it was too big. Whoops???

Now how do I ideate? That’s the question. There were a lot of things I wanted to do, such as Mo Dao Zu Shi-inspired or Final Fantasy-inspired buildings/ structures. But I am pretty new to this whole thing so I gathered some inspiration from specifically one of my all-time favourite, Nier: Automata. I was flipping through the World Guide book and saw an art of the Machine Village and immediately I had the whole thing planned out.

And I am currently still working on it. I pretty much finished the whole piece already but I want to refine it a bit more before showing it to you. I’m very excited because it’s my first time doing stuff like this so it’s a mix of excitement and self-loathe. Check back in soon to see the finished work!!!

see ya~
