What do you intend to do?
In
this project I will be creating a series of environment art pieces to
create a whole new area in the 'Red Dead Redemption' world. I want to
create a series of artwork to portray a whole new environment that
the player could visit with the main character to extend onto the
main storyline. Using research into the time this game was set I want
to recreate an event that would serve as an interesting and unique
add-on to this already vivid world.
A
key area at this time which I want to recreate is the 'Ocean of Fire'
endurance horse race which took place in Saudi Arabia. The artwork
will portray the journey of the character across the ocean to this
foreign land, as well as the places they will visit before and during
this great race. Overall, I want to produce 8 strong finished
environment pieces, as well as progress sketches to give the feel to
this new world.
How
do you intend to do this?
I
will begin conducting research into both the game and area I want to
set my concepts. From this research I will gather a collection of
reference images which I can refer to in my drawing. I will first
create small hand drawn sketches of small areas of the environments,
such as buildings, tents, people, horses as well as plants etc. From
these hand drawn sketches I will progress to importing them into
Photoshop and transforming them into digital images. Then from this I
can begin to create my large environment studies, experimenting with
techniques and styles.
Why
do you intend to do this?
The
bustling and beautiful world of 'Red Dead Redemption' is vast and
unique. However, the world in which it is set is limited to its
style. Through this project, I can expand this world and create a new
life and feel to this already beautiful game. Using my idea, I want
to recreate the desolation and despair these riders felt during this
3000 mile long race, and give the viewer an idea of the loneliness
and difficulty of this feat.
