Introduction

My name is Jack Dingwall I am a seventeen year-old student studying at Newcastle College, My current Course is animation Games and special FX. I am generally really enjoying this course. Other than my love animation and games, i also have a huge passion for Concept Art. If i had to pick my most enjoyable hobby, it would be gaming because i love art and process that goes into designing games. My favourite game is Halo, no other game even comes close to my love of halo, maybe other than Destiny. I use many types of software to create my art, I primarily use a graphics pad on adobe photoshop to create my art pieces so that i can literally draw on the computer as i am fairly useless with a mouse, however i still love to do a lot of my designs by hand. On this Blog you will see a wide range of art, scaling from animation to concept art, and general designs of logos and art that i have simply created for fun, i hope you enjoy the content that i will be uploading and i would love to gather some feedback if you ever think that there is ways that i can improve my art.

Additionally, i have also been researching the concept art from both bungie and 343 industries, there is a artist who happens to work for both companies, an artist called, Darren Bacon, the artist has a very gritty and apocalyptic style to his work however like in most of the halo and destiny games, within these apocalyptic scenery he also makes something stand out in his, work, something thats worth taking the time and looking at.  Thats why i love his work, he always catches the eye of audience. Thats something thats very important in the design industry, out of thousands of people, your work has to stand out, you have to be unique. I am not mentioning this for people to copy his work, but to get inspiration of how he has achieved his goal and that everyone else can achieve this through hard work and imagination. For example in the image showing the wreckage he uses the fire to create that dynamic and hostile environment. As you can also see in most of his work he uses very dynamic lighting in his work to produce a very unique image, e.g. the image below shows the city surrounded in purple neon lights creating a very beautiful and vivid effect.
