Game Concept Art - Week 4

Week 4 - Reference

Our video game world is made up of two tribes, one of STONE, and one of IRON. Using the reference photos from the NY Natural History Museum, design:

- a Musical Instrument
- a Weapon
- a Tool
- two Food Items (one Vegetable/Fruit and one Meat)

One prop design for each tribe based on their Stone or Iron lifestyle. Obviously, the "Mad Max" characters are from the Iron tribe and the characters from the series, "Primal" are a Stone tribe. Think about the limitations and advantages each tribe has and use those traits to influence the prop designs. Focus on the differences between the tribes and play up the contrasts in the shapes. Stone tribe will have access to dinosaur bones, skin and primitive mammal and bird fur/feathers. Iron tribe will have access to machines, engine/vehicle parts and artificial surfaces like rubber, steel and chrome, but they have no access to animals (perhaps they live off of human flesh or insects and fuel?) 

You can design as many props for each group as you like, but the minimum is 5 for each. The composition can be landscape or portrait using the 1:78 aspect ratio. The designs should be rough with NO COLOR. You may use Black, White and shades of GRAY, but do NOT use COLOR for this assignment.

Your final design should begin to look like a poster showing the conflict inherent in the video game. We will add color the following week. 

Print out your final designs or add them to a thumb drive so they can be projected for review.
