2D Art Research

2D Art – Characters:
I like the photos in this mood board and this is because the photos really bring out the futuristic side of science fiction. This side of science fiction is better in my opinion and this is because it really brings out the colours and designs that are not normally used in the world that we live in. I also like these images because it shows how every genre and style have distinctive looks and the feel of the environment. This type of genre is also very good at exploring ideas and this is because the genre is not realistic to this day so this gives the creators a chance to explore new skills.

2D Art – Environments:

I like these specific pictures and this is because they look a lot different to anything thing that you’ll see today and this is because they have a unique design, this is because the creators can go wild due to it being science fiction therefore it does not have to be realistic to the slightest degree. The colours in these pictures have a dark feel and this is because they are mostly set in space or in the deserted place, the reason for this is because it’s not realistic at all.

Pixel/2D – Characters:

The Pixel/2D game characters are created very well because a lot of colours are used and they designed with many pixels depending on how complicated they are. I like these because they are characters that have been designed well and you can tell this because a lot like their 3D versions. The style of these characters are made out with many pixels and many colours.

Pixel/2D – Environments:

The Pixel/2D game environments are set out to use a lot of colours to make them very colourful and bright. They are also laid out to easily to get to the objective with some challenges to challenge the player. The design on these games are very simple this is because this is to make it easier for the player. I like these games because they are not complicated and the style is very simple so it is easy to get around in the game.

2D – Weapons:

I chose these images for research and this is because they show the difference between a detailed drawing of a gun compared to a non detailed drawing. They also show how drawing a gun is not as simple as it actually looks and how well they can be done with not a lot of effort. I also picked these weapons because for my secondary research I will try to draw one of these weapons but with parts from each of the weapons to create a unique one. My aim is to try and create an assault rifle that is unique from all the others.

Secondary Research:

I created this to fit in with the 2D weapons research that I did and this is because my strong part in 2D art is drawing weapons. I like this drawing that I created and this is because it really fits the futuristic theme that I wanted to go with and this is because in the future they may gain the ability to merge weapons into each other to create new unique ones. Another reason why I like this image is because it could be modeled into a 3D version and implemented into a futuristic game and this is because it is unique and could be used as a sniper.
