For our 'Build a World' assignment, we landed two major ideas, one of a world where ghosts inhabit technology, and another world engulfed by a desert where robotic inhabitants roam whats left of the planet. I decided to explore both themes through character driven concept art alongside Aaron. Whereas Matt and Donal explored the environment of these settings. After we compared our concepts for these ideas we decided to further develop the latter.
Taking inspireation from such famous ghost films like The Ring, 2003, and Ghostbusters, 1984. I brainstormed ideas regarding the concepts of ghosts both residing in technology, like above, and being affected by technology, like below.
Desolado- Desert World
When considering what aesthetic to go forward with for the desert world idea, I found the steampunk aesthetic interesting and decided to investigate the style. I found that in order to best start world building I would begin with character design, as robotics would be the focus of this world.
As a result I experimented with characters typically associated with a western setting, such as the cowboy and horse. This eventually shifted to more shrouded character, and a camel, to match the desert theme my team had decided on.
