Under Pressure

It's been a while since I've last blogged, and I'm not gunna lie, I'm not exactly sure what to say but I have a lot to show.

First off a week ago we heard back from AA, and they wanted us to retool some things on our map once again. So I did what I do best apparently, and really tried to drastically change things (shake things up). I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out, we drastically changed the mountain set up, lowered the high area, and I was able to create some neat new elements to the south that I think really helps it out a lot. Visually our map is still quite beutiful and I think it just keeps getting better. Although while getting these screen shots I noticed one floating item... =(




So yet again I'm feeling pretty positive about our map, but we'll just have to wait and see what the devs think about our latest revision.

I've also been working pretty hard on assets for Lauren's and my game for Senior production. I'm near completion of a Shack for part of the Forest level of our game. I'm still working on the texture and havn't done the spec map yet.


Lastly I've been workin on trying to figure some sort of art direction for the UN project, and possible promotional art. This is my first go at artrage (a digital painting program) and I was pretty impressed. I sort of used a style that I used on an archetecture study once and well I think I'll them speak for themselves, I was pretty happy with them... We'll have to see what the rest of the group thinks of them.



(The one above is my least favorite... I'm not sure what I was thinking...) So yea, this would usually be about the time where I'd give some thoughtful tidbits about life and my thoughts in general about to be honest, I'm just going on a day by day basis. In some ways I think I've finally lost it, I chuckle nervously at the prospect of all of the work ahead me, and somehow it's all become sort of funny. I'm not meaning this to be negative by anymeans, I'm very thankful to be in the position I am, and excited about everything but... I just try not to think too much about it =)
