Matilda Gunter - Rookies 2022

For this year, I decided to just put in the Major Projects for the final two topics of my degree (Bachelor of Visual Effects and Entertainment Design.) You can say this serves as a swansong to this chapter of life as I’ve decided I want to take a swing at being an Art/English secondary teacher but I’ll certainly be keeping my options open by continuing these entries for years to come ;)

SUMMER INTENSIVE CHARACTER DESIGNS

For about a month near the start of this year, I was assigned to do two intense but very valuable projects; a 50+ hour Portfolio piece and a 35+ hour Artifact designed to be apart of a collaborative project. 

The Portfolio piece wounded up being a character design based on an idea of a ‘Mafia Clown’ 

The Artifact ended up being a suit designed for a cartographer to survive an Alien Flesh Tunnel

ANIMATED PIXEL ART PROFILES

The Digital Games topic was another interesting venture as it was the first time I had really attempted to do art from a gaming perspective. Pixel Art was one of the earlier exercises we did and I fell in love with it so I decided to expand on it much further in my final project. 

I chose four of my original characters to pixelate and make game profiles heavily based around their narrative.

(Images are supposed to be animated GIFs but couldn’t figure out how to make them work.)
