week 1- 17th
- tasks planned- this week I plan to collect images for my ideas generation specifically , Greek Armour, tridents and swords, hair and beards, monsters and avatars.
what I am currently doing
- this week I gathered several boards on pintrest, I did this because I needed to do some research on the categories listed above to have a place to start and have some good ideas when i start my test sketches and final pieces.
- this task was very easy but did a take a fair amount of time as I had a lot going on in my life this week and the 2 following weeks.
- I completed all tasks for this week.
planning for next week
- I do not need to catch up with this task.
- So far my planning has been fine but that is because i have purposely set my self easy tasks to begin with
week 2- 24th
- this week i plan to gather anatomical references and basic item drawing tutorials.
what I am currently doing
- This week I gathered basic drawing tutorials and anatomical reference images, I did this because these images will be very helpful when I begin drawing my monsters, items and character.
- This task was not difficult and only took a few days to complete.
- I completed the set task
planning for next week
- I do not need to catch up with the current task
- i do need to change my planning as I am purposely choosing easy tasks to fill out the week because of problems at home. I need to accelerate my work or I will fall behind.

week 4- 7th
- this week I plan to begin gathering sound clips for my game as well as beginning some basic sketches and concepts.
what I am currently doing
- this week I began to gather various sound clips for monsters and for the main characters attacks and movement, I also began to draw a couple of my sketches as well as laying down the ground work for my UI. I choose to do this because we had a lesson on sound this week, I also wanted to start my monster drawings, so i did so
- I found this task mostly easy but did struggle with the UI mechanics and how to program menus.
- i completed all tasks this week
planning for next week
- I do not need to catch up on anything on this task
- my planning at this stage is better than before as i am starting to set my self more challenging tasks but i am concerned at the quality of my work as I am not satisfied with quality of my art, i will try to sketch at home to practice.
week 5- 14th
- this week I plan to go all in and do as many sketches as i can.
what I am currently doing
- This week i completed about 19 sketches for monsters, avatars, tails, amours and character faces, I did this because i thought it was important to get these sketches done in time.
- I found this task hard because I was swamped with so many different sketches to do and I was trying to spend enough time on each one so that they were of an acceptable quality but because of the short time frame some of the drawings are lacking and it does show and effect my feelings towards those ideas.
- This week i did not complete as many sketches as i would like and as a result i am missing level designs and tile sets.
planning for next week
- I am unsure how I will catch up current but I will try to work on the sketches i need to do when i have time and have finished other more important work.
- my planning so far is fine and I have been setting my self enough tasks to be on track but I could describe my tasks better, on the topic of my work I am trying to get as much as I can done but I sometimes find it difficult to focus on pieces of work I do not enjoy.
week 6- 21st
- this week I will be putting all of the pieces of Poseidon together and developing the final sketch of him and experimenting with trident designs.
what I am currently doing
- this week I finished the sketch for Poseidon and tested 5 different trident designs and then decided on one which i will further develop. I did this because I didn’t have a design for my main character yet and needed one ready for coloring.
- I found the sketch for Poseidon challenging as it was a relatively complicated sketch and i had trouble sketching a good looking and even outline and muscle shape. however I did find the trident designs easy enough to do and choosing the one i liked was easy as well.
- this week I did complete all of the task I set my self but I would have liked to have started coloring in or to have completed the final trident design
planning for next week
- I do not need to catch up on this task but i will keep trying to complete my level design and tile set.
- my planning so far has been adequate but i do need to accelerate my work and get the previous work done and handed in.
