Presentation

My Powerpoint presentation
basically a summary of all the information I've put up along with some extra things like pictures of games that are influencing how I want the game to look like and play like

Preliminary Work Schedule

Here is a monthly/weekly/daily timetable of how i will roughly be allocating my time work wise.

My Story Concept

•Queen Medb and her daughter Finnabair  (two character that originate from Ard Macha/ Armagh in Ulster) inspire my story. One day Queen Medb goes missing and while her warriors prepare to go to war to get her back from who they think kidnapped her a rivaling clan, Her daughter wanders into a ring of hawthorn trees, falling into the fairy world. She discovers the fairies kidnapped the Queen as she is a great warrior and they hope that they can persuade her to fight for their cause when she awakens. After discovering that three other mythical beings are threatening the existence of the fairies, Finnabair agrees to try and straighten things out. What I hope to do here is have a simple battle between two types of bosses, a mythical bull and a dragon. These are both creatures that are well known to Irish mythology and Armagh specifically.  The end would have a choice for the player t make to leave her mother in the fairy world as the fairies still believe humans are a threat to their world as they are cutting down the Hawthorn Trees or to stay in Queen Medb’s place in the hopes that her mother will figure out a way to save her.

Other concepts

These are just some other sketches i have been doing I drew a dragon as in ireland dragons were referred to as serpents and to make a connection to St Patricks story I thought a dragon encounter could be interesting, I also wanted to have it weave among itself and decided to pick a simple celtic knot design to base this around. Afterlooking at certain designs I thought it would be interesting to use a celtic knot for its eyes as well to make it more mythical and fantasy, I love this look and i htink if i refined it more I will definitely use this concept for my game somewhere.

I also used celtic knot deigns for trees and flowers and I also would love to put this in a graybox and test what these would look like even as 2d planes that are coded to face the camera. 

I also did a fairy concept as it is part of a story concept i had and i wanted to see what it wuld look like using celtic knots as her wings like the wings in my moodboards i quite like it but i think it'd need alot more work. 

Concepts for Findabair

I have only done one so far but i was more influenced by jim fitzpatrick for this concept.

I want to redo this concept and make it alot more vibrant, I feel the colours are too dull for what i want to show.

Character Concepts for Queen Medb

Here are my several concepts for queen medb. I tried to show the infuence of both jim shore and jim fitzpatrick. I like the final image better as i htink it portrays more the style I want to go towards.

Celtic Designs and Knots Moodboard

I gathered images from the internet of celtic knots and patterns. I feel celtic nots is one of those things that you cant really make up yourself every pattern has some sort of meaning like the cladagh ring for romance. i want to use alot of celtic knots and designs in my project to add the influence but to also add a sense of surrealim in my game as I don't want it to be a super realistic depiction of myths. I want there to be this sense of storybook / fantasy.
