Art 496, Project Proposal, continued

One technical and research issue i will have will be combining magic and steam punk designs to create something new. There is not much i can find that has already been done that represents this, so i will have to use research of magic and steam punk specific designs and combine them.

Project Time-line

I will begin collecting more research and creating concept art and have some of it done by April12th.
I will have most, if not all, concept art done by April 19th. I will also have some basic models at this time.
More complex models of the structures will be done by May 3rd.
New and more complex models of machines, environment, and clothing will be partially done by May 17th.
All important models of structures, machines, environment and clothing will be done by May 24th.
By May 31st, the models will be more polished and finished. I will also be in the process of positioning them together for the final product.

Art 496, project proposal

I will be creating models of structures, machines, clothing and equipment to create the basis of a world that can be used for a video game. The project will be a combination of steam punk and magic inspired designs. Some designs will be a combination of steam punk and magic, while others will be representative of one or the other. The structures, machines and other models will be created separately and then brought together.

The project will begin with research and concept art. The research and concept art will then be used to create the models. The research material I will be looking for will be steam punk designs and more old-school inspired magic designs. I will also look for any designs some people have already made by combining the 2. This research will be used to create concept art and models combining steam punk and magic.

My project will be a compilation of models I create inspired by steam punk and magic designs. I will create some concept art, but the bulk of the project will be models created using Maya, and possibly Mud Box.
