Presenting: Pikachu

-


Ladies and Gentleman, here's the star of this artwork, Pikachu! For this assignment, we were given a template of Pikachu and we needed to outline and fill him in using Illustrator. However, I got a little creative, and added some details to the piece. 

Fantastical Facts: Pikachu Edition:
  • I did not really like the plain background, so I took inspiration from the contest element in the Pokemon games and made Pikachu bask in the spotlight!
  • The lines aren't perfect and I got a little too complicated, but I know now how to edit that for future projects 

As always, thank you for supporting this small artist and blog! I hope you enjoy the work as much as I do when I create it! Have a magical day!

Doxie Dash

***IMAGE FLASH WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO MOVEMENT OR FLASHING LIGHTS*** Here is my final Creative Coding project, the OOP game! My game is called Doxie Dash and the goal is simple: eat as much food as possible without eating worms! Food increases your points, and worms decrease your points. Whoever has the most points wins, or go for your own high score!  If you would like to play the game for yourself, you can play it here :  Doxie Dash Fantastical Facts: Doxie Dash Edition: This project is 717 lines in total, including all of the external Javascript files. That isn't too bad, but the file size is by far the biggest one yet, with all of the images and music elements.  These characters may look familiar, and that is because they are from my last project! I did make more doxies other than Coco! They are all named after real life doxies in the code!  I really wanted the levels to change without having to collect the worms, however, ...

Animation for Interactivity and Games Week 5 Cont.

-
  This weekend, outside of class, I practiced creating an animation sequence of a character waving. I don't have much experience with animating a character and this is the first time I was able to animate a character successfully without it looking too janky or having the keyframes move too fast. I followed along with some more of the Unreal videos as best as I could. Although the fellowship videos are hard for me to understand, I feel proud of the work I have done so far on my own, since animating is not my strongest skill. I feel proud of the progress I have made so far with animating. I also continued to work on my midterm presentation and getting everything together on Dropbox.

It's My Party

  ***IMAGE FLASH WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO MOVEMENT OR FLASHING LIGHTS*** Here is my Illustrator Mandala project entitled, "It's My Party!" For this project we needed to take more complicated images than the Image Mandala and take them into Adobe Illustrator, simplify them, and make a mandala out of the images in Adobe Dreamweaver. These images were imported using Javascript files, so that way we were able to make cool changes to the images without having a disorganized code. Fantastical Facts: Illustrator Mandala Edition: This project is 6,261 lines total! This is by far the biggest project so far! A good amount of the lines were generated from Illustrator and then made into Javascript files, however, they are still counted in the total as they are referenced in the main source code.  It was a challenge in this project to find images that weren't too complicated so that way the code could run without crashing the computer. Luckily...
