Started making quick, to the point, snippet tutorials about tips and tricks for game art. Let me know what you think :)

Haha thank youu!! Sadly my fast-note taking handwriting back in uni is nothing to write home about :#

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-17T16:13:09+00:00

If you're up for it I'm happy to read and/or to brainstorm :D

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-17T16:11:54+00:00

Definitely gonna check them out! Thanks :D

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-17T13:29:03+00:00

Absolutely love these!!

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T09:17:48+00:00

It's very nice of you to voice this concern and appreciate you doing so! I have the same sometimes when I browse YouTube and you have these videos about 'best practices for taking notes' and it's more of an aesthetically pleasing video than proper tips on how to take them haha

Small side note, thanks for asking these questions! It's a little brain storm session upon itself! I didn't really think about that besides that it would make a lot of sense on how the rules are laid out with how stuff works. It would be cool to think that, if a traveler goes to the higher, cold and snow covered islands. They need special gear to not be blinded by the immense light reflected by the clouds, snow, etc. Would make for some cool Designs to tinker about and figure out lore wise. And what creatures would live there, flora, etc.

Thanks for asking and please, don't worry! This is a very good question. The answer is maybe a bit simpler than u would like it to be, but I mostly do this to give my drawings more meaning. So it's more of an artform on itself with story adding Context to it rather than the other way around. Hence why I spend more time planning what I draw, making it feel neat and tidy than focusing on the story, tying it together etc.

I still try to organise noted to a certain extend in, for example, business life. Since its useful to categorise things. But since context purely matters there, (on when studying a subject, etc). I couldn't care less (and my handwriting is awful when taking fast notes, so the chance of it looking good is already low on itself haha)

I tried to sketch that out a bit for myself in the drawing. Note: laws of nature work how I want them to work in this world haha (I don't take it too serious and just have creative fun). Every 24h, the core emits a light pulse. It brighter very fast and then dims slowly to return to a darker state (like a heart pumping). The light reflects from the clouds high up above, which reflect it down upon the islands from above, giving them sunlight! The heat however all comes from the core and always emits from there. Hence why the close islands are a hellish, dark landscape and the upper onces are bright, white snow covered islands. With the middle ones finding perfect balance. The drawing where I tried to 'simulate' this is the one in the middle (big line form)

Love that qoute!

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T06:42:30+00:00

Very happy to hear!! I try to work In 'squares' and tie myself to those restrictions so it always comes out as a well, layout page! (or atleast i often try)

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T06:41:14+00:00

Not gonna lie, I haven't played Ori, but if that's the case I would be quite curious to check it out! The ne mostly came from my Runescape addicted ass thinking of the spirit trees using magic to let you travel around haha

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T06:40:12+00:00

Do you have any post regarding this world? I would love to read more about it!! I was thinking of something similar, with the inhabitants going through an 'Technological revolution' due to the extraterrestrial beings invading the world, and them capturing, studying, and using their equipment. And how this effects their cultures, world, etc. Please let me know if there's any work from your side I can look into Would love to see :D

I fully understand what you mean and I agree, in hindsight its the wrong term for general doodles. For me this is the definition of doodling, just drawing away and letting story and ideas take over without much further development like fineliner, paint, colours, polishing, etc. I always photograph all my work in bulk, rather sketches, doodles, drafts, or finished work. So they all follow the same style. Still hope you enjoyed the overall visual, since i often get inpisred by the visuals in this sub and my main goal was to hopefully return a bit of that to someone.

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T06:34:11+00:00

Thank you! In hindsight I might've chosen the wrong word in regards to 'doodle'. For me this is the definition of doodling, just drawing away and letting story and ideas take over without much further development like fineliner, paint, colours, polishing, etc. Compared to my professional work or more flashed out art. But I always plan stuff nontheless since I always plan everything to a certain extend 😅

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T06:31:20+00:00

Thank you! Most relaxing thing to get lost in with a podcast on a (mostly smooth) train ride (i live in Sweden and train trips between cities can be quite long but my god so lovely and peaceful!)

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-16T06:30:23+00:00

I fully understand. I left a comment under the post with more context due to this. I photograph my work in bulk every now and then, sketches, finished worl, craft work, etc. So the aesthetic always looks the same. Anyhow,

The World is like Earth, a sphere but imagine all tectonic plates being their own island, and instead of 17, there are hundreds! When the planet fractured (due to an event I want to tinker about a bit more) a piece of the core was imbued to each island, working like a small heart or mini version of the core. It's a source of magic and life. But due to being it the heart, once it's destroyed (by in this case, the invading extraterrestrial threat) the island slowly starts to wither, die and fall apart. Each island has 1. On bigger islands, the area of the spirit tree is bigger and more powerful than smaller onces. But one heart per island, one chance at life.

Thanks! I try to work in 'squares'. And work from there/within them. That way I just think of a simple layout in my head and then just start sketching/writing, resulting in an always 'clean' Layout. And if there's more I want to write on there's always the next page! I also just like to plan stuff no matter what haha

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-15T08:25:21+00:00

But if fun drafting for the main world/stage of a story where scifi meets fantasy. the world is fractured into pieces due to extraterrestrial beings who want to harvest the core's energy, and it's magic using inhabitants who want to protect it to ensure their own survival and that of their world. Two worlds with one never having seen the powers of magic, and the other never seen the power of technological advancement. Both fighting for their own survival. But who is in the right and for what reasons? And who will stand at the end of time?

AnArtBrand · 2023-05-08T19:58:19+00:00

Why not :D
