What iv Learned

This is the part where I talk about all the stuff iv learned over the last term duing my last project.
What I learned duing the photoshop thase of making my Menu was using different resources apart from what i can find on the internet or books because duing the early parts of the design stages i found it hard to get my hands on parchment for the back ground image of my menu but by the end of the search i found a deviant artist on deviant art called "DarthMaiden" that had some in his soruse images gallery. So What id learned was "don't ask don't get". The next thing i learned was to give cridit to thoses iv gotten work from in order to help me complete my work.

Now iv not really done much work in Maya and i didn't show any in my final pieces but that was partly because of some computer problems that i had and losed Maya on my computer and could not get it back. One of my origanal ideas was to use maya to make my seals into 3D objects to show in my final show but it was not my dream to be a 3D artist so i learned about it and got a real understanding of it and how it works so that if i ever have to give my work to a 3D artist to rig, texture, and Animate i have the now how to not make something thats not to silly and hard to do. The only thing i wish i had done was learn abit more about Maya and Zbrush. Yes z brush is another one of the program that i wished id learned more about but i could not get my head around it so in the end i desided to not in cluded it in my project.

Another program iv learned about is Photoshop and what style of digital painting makes me most happy doing. Now of course iv just started painting in a different style and it will take me a bit of time to learn but iv pick up on Speed painting this appels to me because i find it hard to wrok for long periods of time on something that iv come up with myselfbut for some reason im happy working on something im given to work on.The other thing iv started working on is tone in skin as well as cloths armour etc.

When it comes to my project itself iwas inspired by the elder scrolls game as well as Fable fallout and other thing like Naruto, Dragonball Z, and Bleach as well. But as for Neg 1 I worked on narritive and concept work. In Neg 2 i desided to work on a game assent instead as well as a little narritive too to help bring it all together at the end. If i could change one thing about this project it would be to have put in some more characters or make my menu work and go to other menus like a character creation menu for exsample. but in the end im happy with what iv do i belive that maybe i could have done more but iv had a hard time dealing with the Stress that is coused at this time of year for all students. but that all taken care of now and i now i did the best i could as well as keeping a good balance on my work and health.

I also learned abit of Flash to put together the menu as well i got some help with that to from my friend Sarah she is also a devaint artist but she did not provide me with any resourse to help complete my final piece but she took me thought flash .

The Older Brother

This is the Older Brother of my Game He is the one how Murders His Parents but cannot bring himself to kill is younger brother due to the point that he was the only one in the family he felt he had to keep alive but was never able to think of why he did spare him on that night. But now he is on his own quest to gain power and take over Eldora which as you go thought the game and discover the serects of Eldora he does take Eldora and at that point is where you start playing as the younger Brother.

The younger Bother age 21

This is the first put together of my Younger Bother character for my game

The Story.

The World of Eldora is a long one with a dark history and the deaths of many thousands of people ni it.

5000 years ago there was a huge was war that went on for 1000 years in the land of Eldora that all started when a tresure hunter discoverd a temple in some ruins now the power of raw magicia is what came from this temple and in eldora magic was seen as the power of god and was only controled by the most strong willed of people so not everyone could control it. So finding such a huge amount of it in one place was the biggest discovery in Eldora. When the knowledge of the magicia temple became known to the world the lords of the land began argueing over how it should belong to but nether would give it up because of there overwhleming greed and thuirs for more power over the other lords. This lead to war between the lords for the next 300 years over control of the magicia temple. now after that there a clan of magic wirlders that came the the land in search of knowledge about this temple and these people could weird magic unlike any others before them so after seeing there power the lords tried to pay them to help them take the magicia for there selfs.
But as the clan was not inertested in money or items of any sort and did not want to see so many people keep on getting killed they made it the mission to stop people from getting this magic so using the magic from the temple they pushed the ground around the temple down to put it into a canyon that no man could climb or escape from and to make sure the lords never came to try and take the magicia again they all gave there lifes to create a series of towers that shot raw magicia bolts at anyone that tried to cross into the canyon for many years tried to get into the canyon with no purveil.

After failing to get in to the canyon the lord gave up on getting to the temple and it all faded in to history and storys about the clans noble sackerfise to save the people of Eldora.

Now this is ware are story starts about 700 years after the clan sackerfise and it was all but forgoten about there was 2 bothers that lived in in the city of Nethine on the cost of Eldora now the bothers were 7 and 17 years of age we start with the older bother he has alwaays been wanting to get out and see the world but has always been a bit bitter towards his family because his father dosnt want for him to go anyware so he can help on the docks like his family has done for generations before him and he was always seen after his younger bother as he was the first born and came 2nd but he could never bring himself to hate or hunt him so when he turned 21 he killed his parents in cold blood but as he went to kill his younger bother he could not so he left that night and was heard of or seen by anyone that new him for 10 years. (From the night the older bother leaves is wear the play takes over and you follow the main storyline to take over Eldora).Now about half way thought the game you will be starting to play as the younger bother on his quest for reavenge against his older bother murder of his parents and the countless millions he has hurt up to now.

The run down is that on his adventures the older bother learns about the war over the temple and its magicia and goes about finding a way to get to it and using it to take over Eldora.

The younger bother story is one of vengences as after his bothers take over he goes about trying to take it back and giving it to the people once more.

Main Menu Vesion 2

this is my next vesions of games main menu that iv come with after i get it checked out by by a few friends then its ready to movein to flash.

The Buttons

Buttons

the only think to do for the game menu now is the buttons iv only got three in the main menu layout New Game, Load, and Opitions. this is just a vistial layout of the menu and will not work as a menu.

The font design

This is my font designs that iv done for my final projects font over summer the final one is at the bottom with the purple colour effects this was an interesting part to all this and took a bit longer then i thought to get it down but the next step is to put it all in to flash and give it some movement and life too.

Stressful times

Im finding my work hard to do right now with all the stress im under for assessments but all i have to do is put my final pieces into flash which im downloading right now to start tomorrow.

Easter

My objective for the easter holidays is to have everything for my final major project ready to go in to flash for when i go back up there in a week or so. Also i want ot have a some sketches for the two main charcters done as well and befor assessments im going to have the story writen down as well and any time left over i ll us im proving my neg one project.

To do list 2

• This week have all font designs desided and create digitaly.
• bring blog up to date
• post wix web page
  
• pratice speed painting
  
• create at least 3 more SP this week
• bring one of them up neater.
  

My final idea

my final idea is to produced a main menu for my game with most work that iv produced for it put into it.
I would like to give a thank you DarthMaiden on the deviant art web site.

To do list

• Come up with 1 more designs for my main menu
  
• bring them up to a digital standard
  
• Bring my seal into the menu as well
  
• adjust them for the menu
• reseach other game main menus for refense
  

Eldora Towers

These are a bit of Enviroment design that i have been doing so far im happy with how its gone. The reason for doing this and other Enviroments is for my main menu design that im doing as i will be using these as background imaging that will be fading in and out with the menu opintions below them.there will also be characters in the menu as well.

Textured Seal

This is my Lightening Seal used as an example to get an insight to what am seal will look like when textured onto a shape of my choosing.

Texture (Maya)

These are some renders that i have done with some help as it is my first time getting to grips with Maya.

Seal Armour

The Seal Armour is mounted to the character right arm around the seals that he has inplanted in his skin on his right arm i have not come up with a name yet but he is a side character with skills in big weapons his favourite a claymore (Arcana Claymore Sketch book).
This was the basic idea for my characters clan or tribe he puts together to take over Eldora.
This is all important to the main aim of the project to help me get down any ideas i have so i can pull it all together to make a nice and simple but effective in game menu and game manuel.

Menu Layout

This was an idea that i have had in a dream for the in game menu that would bring a magical feel to it with the burn't diarypages that the player can navergate thought and see his or hers spells, Diary entres, inventory, statue,world map, and other interesting bits too.

Menu Backgrounds

these where some ideas for the menu background and boarders that i have had.

Sealing Plates

These are a fully tradisional concept of my Seal plates for the Arcana weapons. I will be bring these into a digital format as well to help show my use of both medias.

Textures & Menu Background

Here iv been tryin gto come up with some intersting backgrounds and textures for the game menu and menu backgrounds too i want somthing that reflexs Eldora but shows its darker start but then shows a glimer of light in it too.

One of the features that is in my game is that the characters have a to pick what magical elerment they will choose at the character creation menu people that choose the mage class can choose two elements but the other one will not be open to them right away the reason for this is that this gives way to the story which setyou the player as a power hungrer mage and your quest to take over the land.
It is said in legend that there is a way to control all mageial elements Fire, Water, Lightening, Earth, and Wind. In the passed there has only been one person to complete this quest he was the first hero of the land and said to have had his life taken buy an unknown soure all that is known
is that one day his body was found inpaled in church and all items taken from him. Play as the power hunerary villian learn all his deadly magical arts and take over the land of Eldora.
The picture (above) is a magical weapon that can be werilded by any classbut is able to control all elements if the weirlder has the seal plates that go with it. In the world of Eldora there is a one Arcana weapon of each weapon class Claymore, Long Sword, Shield, Dagger, Bow, Axe, Mace and Flail.
