woah, you're really good :redface: "random doodles" People that can draw will always amaze me :tongue: What's the artwork for?

Spoiler




haha thanks, It's a game design module, the first brief was designing a board game and we were marked on the concept and strategy elements. Got a first in that because I didn't have to do artwork for it.
The brief im doing tonight is making a big video game design document and it's mostly the artwork getting marked. I've got mega low motivation for art nowadays. Literally just want to get my degree and do something else.

My game idea is a real time strategy fantasy game similar to warcraft 3 or age of mythology.

np lol.

Try taking all social media apps off your PC and only using your phone for TSR, FB etc. but keep things on there that will help you concentrate e.g. Spotify


Damn that's so hard to do though :frown: I'll have to try it soon I guess. I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight though anyways incase I oversleep the deadline.

Oh right! That's cool, well done on the first! I lack in the creativity/imagination department :lol: You reckon it was due to the lack of art? Why so? :redface: Going by your 1 random doodle, your couple minutes of work, beats anything I've ever produced - definitely talented, I think!

Awww, that sucks - well I hope a spark shoots up out of somewhere to help you get through it :h: But I can totally relate to the whole wanting to just get the end of your degree :rolleyes:

I'm not much of a gamer, but after a quick google scan, seems like there's plenty of scope for letting your imagination run wild with that :lol: Enjoy!
In my head i tell my self that my exam is tommorow it helps

Ye Idk I just find it kinda boring now, like you have to put too much effort in to get to a point where it's easy and enjoyable lol. When I used to do maths and subjects like that at school it didn't take much effort. Theres too much problem solving that isn't easy to solve like in other subjects. If I was doing a stem subject I could just look up the answer or work it out easily. Takes way longer. I'm better at strategy type stuff tbh.

I might change my mind once I move out of this house and into halls and stop being depressed though lol.

I think you can be creative if you watch some badass movies to think of ideas. Don't need to be good at art. Plus you only get good from practicing loads anyway.

The moment you realise you've procrastinated too much is when you start counting how long you've got left before the deadline in hours not days.......
