artists ideas and concepts

Nick Schlee:

'Stubble fields and new wheat'

Nick Schlee paints very smooth and very colourful paintings of the british countryside, i don't often see this style of painting but it is interesting because there is not a high amount of detail, its simple but effective.

I like this painting because it is slightly abstract, you sometimes see trees form in a tunnel but the way he has painted it makes it seem like an actual tunnel. 




Anita Austwick:

Anita Austwick's art is 'impressionism' she does it in a very rough and colourful way. This image 'The red london bus' is very different to her normal type of art, her painting normally have a very smooth and faded edge to them but this one doesn't, this one has been left to drip so the people look very strange and the drip almost looks like a shadow.

leonardo da vinci:

Leonardo had design many different concepts for machines and one of the most famous is the flying machine, this image is a concept of an early stage helicopter, unfortunately his contraption did not work because man power was simply not enough, he needed something like an engine which he could not get hold of at that time.

Leonardo also built another flying machine which was shaped like a bird, he got the idea from a bats wing and he tried to replicate the movement. he hoped he could try and glide through the sky with these wings that would be spread out and you would control them from the front where you were hanging. this is the first plane concept.

Skyrim development:


The game skyrim went through a lot of development stages for each zone, the game is an RPG meaning role playing game. It is built up of different areas which all had their own development time, The 'outside world' is one massive zone which all links in with itself and it requires no loading screens where as cave's temples and towns have their own stages which all would have been developed separately.

this video shows the original drawings and paintings of the concepts for the skyrim landscape and areas each of these would have been drawn over and over again to get the perfect look for the scene.
This is a video of the development of a ice troll attacking the original skyrim character.
