Alien Apple Studios Visit

Today we had a lecture from a concept art company based in North West England, Alien Apple Studios.
I found this lecture to be most inspiring as i too aspire to become a concept artist. They specialised in a wide range of disciplines including vehicle, environment, character and CREATURE design. This was a lecture i would have been stupid to miss.

They discussed their methods and inspirations and even showed examples of their works and discussed them step by step. I found this useful as i discovered some new ways of working which i will be trying myself.

They also discussed their inspirations and how important REFERENCE is as a concept artist. I have always used as much reference material as possible in my own work thus insuring i know what it is i am designing and not attempting a piece without base knowledge.

I was also lucky enough to discuss my work with them afterwards, and show them what i am currently working on and what my current aims on the Ma are. This was extremely beneficial as i received personalised advice which i am very grateful for. We concluded that dinosaurs are awesome and with that i am going to draw one now as a personal mini brief which i will post eventually :)

Overall a very good day!
