Game Art for Gamers Article Series - Looking for Input

iadagraca

Hey guys I meant to do this earlier but I'm doing a little weekly side project to both help myself as an artist and also teach other people too.

I'm starting a article series called Game Art for Gamers and I've completed 4 articles with a 5th in progress.

I'm looking for input from some of the great and more experienced artists here! So if you have the time I'd love for you to read the articles and give input on descriptions of the ideas presented before i release them!

I'm aiming to post the intro this Tuesday and will be posting the first real post the week after that.

Below you'll find links to each of the articles in google docs. Please give any input you have please!

Also if there's any critical flaws I'm willing to delay launching this.The articles will be posted on takuchat.com

Game Art for Gamers 101: Introduction

Game Art for Gamers 102: The Elements of Art

Game Art for Gamers 103: Principles of Design

Game Art for Gamers 104: Color Theory

I'm also in need of a wireframe, shaded, and textured images of a model if someone is ok with me using one. Otherwise I have some alternatives i can use.

I don't have the expertise to judge it or the time to read it for a while, but from a quick peak it has my interest and I think I'll eventually read it. Thanks for sharing.

That's cool the actual articles don't start for another week.

The intro was posted yesterday on my site

I'm hoping to get a lot of feed back as time goes.

The next articles are "Color Meaning" and "Intro to Game Art".

But i'm wondering if there's any topics i'm missing before i move on to "intro to game art"?

Nice work on these, you may want to look into the psychology of colour. I've got some links I'll send over at some point if you're interested. Cool stuff

Thanks Jon!

I'd love those links!

Correct me if i'm mistaken but i thought color meaning and color psychology were similar things?

This looks like a good thread. I'm doing a game design course, and I'll have a look into it
