WHY DID I CREATE THIS ART QUEST JOURNEY?

Throughout my career as a concept artist and video game developer, I have learned that just having the "COOL FACTOR" with your designs is not always enough.

Hello fellow Art Warrior!

In the time between working on the first part of Art Quest, and creating Creature of the Deep, I've been hard at work building a video game for my independent game studio, Red Essence Games, as well as hosting an Art Podcast for my Art broZ channel. One thing that really stuck out to me when designing enemies for my game, and chatting art on my podcast is how we are all taught to make a cool looking design, but not always to consider the functionality behind the concepts.

When working in a studio you will be expected to not only make cool concept art, but also practical designs. It will be important to know how your character moves, what attacks it can do, and how its clothing and armor will be textured. All of these factors are just as important to show as having a polished piece of art.

In Art Quest: Creature Of The Deep, I will guide you through the process of creating a concept and THINKING of how to approach designing a boss enemy -- one of the most complicated types of characters to consider -- in an easy and simple way.

Good luck on your adventures brave warrior, and I look forward to seeing your work!

-Nik
