Introduction

 

Welcome to my blog


Hello, this will be an introduction to an experimental blog I'm testing out. Basically, it expresses how my brain works and how I make my projects. This experimental blog may be worked on and off as I'm figuring out myself and what I want to do.

If you find any glaring issues such as Spelling errors or missing information, I would be delighted to be corrected. I suffer from Dyslexia so I would like to work on my issues and mistakes revolving around my cognitive disabilities. So any pointers are warmly welcomed when coming from a place of care and kindness. 

For a brief look at who I am, I will share here and throughout my blog as I work on these drafts. Keep in mind that these may change as I grow and learn, I change my mind a lot and keeping to specific projects is quite hard. My attention span for specific projects can be very high or non-existent depending on how I feel or if stuff gets tedious to work on. You may notice this if I do constantly post as I may make ginormous blogs for stuff I'm extremely passionate about while other stuff may only have a few words. I'm quite critical of my own work and have a very perfectionist view of my own endeavours. So I might present my frustrations on works that do not meet my own expectations. I work with a lot of colour and Western cartoon-like projects. With exaggeration, crude or light-hearted humour. Referencing other media, from some British comedy, western cartoons, games and Anime. I like to work with stylisation and will express the media styles that I try to reference. Images of how I work stuff out such as failed experiments, photo or video Referencing and previously made projects.

I will try to express in great detail how I use programs, tools and materials. With screenshots, photos, videos and detailed explanations. I will try to go into detail on the prices of all these creative tools and materials and my preferences on why I use them. I will try to also recommend cheaper alternatives for those who suffer from financial issues, or those who are starting on a low budget and or are experimenting with their creative options. 

I want to create my own animated series with my characters in a story I'm working on revolving around them. I hope that this animated feature will be highly detailed, incorporating atmospheric music and a clear narrative. Making a deep and lore-riddled story that takes place in a twisted world relating to places here in the UK. I want this to be a personal animated feature that won't be a mainstream show that's linked up to giant companies or networks. Just something I'll post and present myself. I'm also considering the possibility of making a game revolving around the same characters and story. Either a free-roaming 3D or 2D game.

This blog may contain:

  • 3D modelling (mainly Character modelling) 

  • 2D Animation (Pixel art, sketched animation, full features) 

  • Storyboarding (Sketched storyboards, video-based storyboards for animations)

  • Vent and thought (emotional-based content and an inner perspective of my cognitive thoughts) 

  • Materials (Tools and materials I use to create my work) 

  • 2D illustrations (Pen and Pencil Drawing) 

  • Referencing (providing sources of inspiration and topics revolving around what I do or like) 

  • Personal likes, dislikes and hobbies (talking about my personal hobbies, likes, dislikes and general info that may link up to my creative endeavours) 

  • Material and tool pricing (Everything I use to produce my work and cheaper alternatives)

The tools and materials I use as of now:

  • Custom-built Windows 10 Pro 64- Bit PC with an Intel core I7 CPU 8 GB of ram and a GTX 960 Graphics card. 

  • Various memory/ USB stick sizes vary between 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. 

  • 22 Inch Wacom Cintiq pen display

  • Adobe Photoshop (https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop.html?promoid=RL89NFBP&mv=other)

  • Mechanical pencils 

  • Oculus Quest VR headset 

  • Google Docs for Documentation

  • Read Aloud Chrome extension for Writing playback

  • My mobile phone to make documenting easier ( Samsung S20 )

I hope this gives a clear introduction to who I am and what I hope to strive for. Any feedback is more than welcome and constructive criticism is wanted. I hope that you also learn new things from this blog and I'm always open to answering any questions I possibly can. I do have other socials if you would like to take a look and see what I've been up to. Hope to see you soon!
