Introduction to Major Project part 1

For my major project I want to do a series of digital paintings and possibly an art book based on a story I created. I want to tell a story through a number of concept paintings showing action, character designs and environment designs.

Aim

My aim is to get my skill level up in character design, environment design, rendering different materials, improve my lighting and shading. By the end I want to produce 5 highly rendered paintings as well as the process I took to render them.

The paintings I want to be moody, with a lot of atmosphere and contrast. I want these paintings to show my particular style of painting as well as show what I am capable of.

My ultimate aim is for this to be a portfolio piece, something I can take with me to a job interview. I am ultimately looking for job as a working artist in the field of games and film.
