Drawing has been my passion for well over a decade, as well as story writing and world building. For my final project, I decided to utilise one of my many story ideas and create concept art and illustrations for my own original fantasy world and story.
I drew inspiration from various different sources - both historical and fictional - in order to create something truly original. I tried to utilise colour to create vibrancy in my art, that demonstrates my characters and world effectively, in comparison with the dark visuals of several modern fantasy franchises. I also wanted to illustrate various interactions between my characters, as I think it’s one of the most effective ways to demonstrate their personalities, in addition to the overall narrative and various story beats.
I’m very grateful for this course and the tutors allowing me the space and resources to pursue my passions. Not only have I been able to improve at my chosen craft, but I’ve picked up skills and resources along the way that I’m hoping will aid me in my future endeavours in game design and concept illustration.
