Stand Alone Game Environment / Level Design/Character Design etc..

Concept art for a fantasy MMO RPG game landscape set in an ancient elven forest. 

Software: Photoshop CS5 Extended

Description: I chose this program because it is one professionals use and recommend. As well being able to paint in it there are many different editing tools you can use. Also I have more experience in Photoshop as I've been using it for several years now to do my own paintings.

SLIDE 4: PROJECT PURPOSE/TARGET AUDIENCE

What do you want to create?: 

I want to create a fantasy elvish forest with massive trees and over grown vegetation with rivers/ streams and waterfalls running through it. 

What do you want to Learn or Improve?:

 I want to learn the whole production process for creating concept art as I have never experienced this before. I think it would be god for me because this is something I want to get into as a job in the future.

What do you want to the Player/Viewer to Experience?:

 I want the viewer to experience a really heavily fantasy setting which has nice cool colours and a great mood and feeling to the image.

Research:

 I looked into different artists work. Tried using the same styles and techniques as them using there brushes provided on there websites. Looked into a bit of film development. 

Researched different art works that are in the same style for what I want to achieve.

Looked into what colour palette I want to use.

The architecture

Week 6

Hand in

I think I'll manage with this timescale because once I have idea set of what I want to paint I can usually produce the painting in a few hours. I think the thing that will take the longest would be the referencing of images but when it comes down the final painting I have allowed myself 2 weeks which should be fine.
