Advanced Prototype
Week 1: Worked on the textures for the different buildings, on this week we got the thought of templated textures. We got some rough templates. created a tile-able texture template for the metal of the buildings
Week 2: worked on the buildings applied the template for textures. Got assigned the mech for animation.
Week 3: Did the animations for the driving and the turn for the mech.
Week 4: I finished the tweaks to the driving animations and added some more animations I.E. Turn and getting up.
Week 5: Fixed the turn a bit and did the getting and shooting animations.
Week 6: Did the get up animation tweaks. and victory/defeat animations.
Week 7: Did the alternate victory animation and tweaked other animations as well. fleshed them out a little more.
Week8: Added the right turn, re-did the shooting animations. Did the dodge right animation. Tweaks to the backflip (alt) victory animation.
Interior Spaces and World
Week 1: Thought up the three concepts for the pitch: the underground free running facility, the labyrinth made of glass with Pandora's Box, the undercover War Room under the pool in suburbia.
Week 2: Boxed in the the whole area, IE: I did the underground war room, the pool that it is hidden under, the ground surface, and the house.
Week 3: Created assets for the the war room, chairs and desks etc, work a little more on the layout of the underground facility.
Week 4:

Design Journal for Adv Level Design/Game Prototyping
All right I will be posting my design journals (what I've done) for those classes here on my blog, since I decided to keep them online instead of just doing a word document.
Advanced Level Design
Week 1:
This week Team Narwhal decided on four level concepts and each member was assigned a level idea to concept for. I chose to do the level design for the level I came to call Thor's ascension. I had concept out some assets the main character and the level layout, which included placement of the assets and bonuses.
Week 2:
The level design that Team Narwhal had deemed Sundance Samurai (good job Ian!) was picked and we were tasked with the assignment of creating full color assets and a Detailed level layout. I was entrusted with the task of concepting: the main character, the geisha burlesque dancer, and the end boss. Along with them I was also in charge of concepting out these assets: sushi, jade dragon, and chandelier.
Week 3
Modeled out the assets. I.E. collectibles and the such.
Week 4-10
textured the assests, set up the unity file and created presets, modeled a couple more collectables, skinned and animated the main character.
Week 11
Prepared for presentation.

Game Protoyping
Week 1:
This weeks assignment was to concept out some mech designs for the Mech Racer game we are creating, I created the "Speedsta" mech, the "Crazy Fox" mech, and the "Unishark" mech.
Week 2:
Learned different vocab for racing, put together 3 concept tracks for the game. utilizing the unique traits the level design team had created.
Week 3:
I designed tracks with the focus' that were seen as most "tubular" as the saying goes now and days. I focused on width of track, placement of secret pathways and the modular aspect of tracks. I also thought up of a hotwheels race track type of deal for the game. As well as being able to land on your opponent.

Week 4-10
helped come up with final type of modular track, did the unwrapping of around 34 tracks, started the textures for the tracks assigned to me. Layed down the base textures for the tracks. incorporated the template asphalt and added the rust and metal templates for the tracks.

Long over due update!
So, for those who just so happen to run into my blog while surfing the world wide web every now and then here is an update!
Now I haven't had much time to sit down and draw much, which hinders my growth as an artist, but school is quite busy for me recently! The Game Art and Design program at my school focus is mainly on the computer (of course!) so programming and modeling and such things like that are taking precedence, I how ever am not that good at modeling right now so I will not be putting any 3D up any time soon.
All right, time to wrap this up with some explanations of the pieces here.
1. This was a failed attempt to try for the Darkstalkers Tribute book, I drew out this concept and didn't like it and decided to scrap that, school got the most of my time during then as well and I could not see my other angle come to fruition oh well gotta keep on truckin.
2. The one and only Akuma! I did this cause I just wanted to draw him. I made copies of this drawing and started practicing my water coloring every now and then.
3. The Last Airbender...The Avatar...Aang...how ever it is you refer to this little guy one thing is consistant, he rocks! This is honestly my favorite cartoon. So many reasons to argue why but it's ok I won't go there. I just got inspired to draw him in my "style." There will probably be more of him. Who knows.
Well I'm heading off now. Possible updates will include more water color stuff, that I have already done, hopefully I will get better...if I can find someone who will really critique and help me out with it.
Oh and by the way, I'm starting up a blog for my philosophical side...more on that later.
Take care all.

A professor from the west visited a Zen master from the east and it was obvious to the master from the start of the conversation that the professor was not so much interested in learning about Zen as he was in impressing the master with his own opinions & knowledge. As the Zen teacher explained, the learned man would frequently interrupt with remarks like "Oh, yes, we have that, too." & so on. finally, the Zen teacher stopped talking & began to serve tea to the learned man. He poured the cup full, then kept pouring until the cup over-flowed. "Enough!" the learned man once more interrupted. " the cup is over-full, no more will go in!"
"Indeed, I see," answered the Zen teacher. "Like this cup you are full of you own opinions & speculations. If you do not first empty your cup, how can you taste my cup of tea?"

It's justifiable
I sketch this out using the Wacom tablet and Painter X, then finished up the detail in Photoshop CS3. I like painter but for me Photoshop is still preferred for drawings, even though this was my first computer sketch. i inverted it for a project i'm doing in school and thought it looked cool so i kept it that way.
enjoy, and have a nice day

A lil color action!
That's right folks, I'm not dead yet just busy as all heck! So, for those of you who actually see my blog here's something new! This is an original character, her name is Mi-Lee. I was playing Soul Calibur 4 and made her up there and fell in love with what i did there so I decided to draw her and put a back story to her, but that will be for another time.
For now you get to see the line work and coloring of her, this is only like my 4th coloring on the computer ever, I did it in PhotoShop CS3 with a mouse...don't have money yet for a tablet, but I'll get one soon.
Enjoy!
Nelson "Big PR" Carrasquillo
