The first thing I did was generate three separate ideas, each focussing on different areas I might want to explore. Idea OneMy first idea was to create an illustration(s) based around several interests of mine. Finding a way to combine, at least some of them together with an overarching theme of meta commentary. Given how convoluted this could all get I may focus in on certain themes and topics, more than others. The themes I wish to explore include, Rococo, Beauty, Horror, Dance and Social Commentary, each of these topics include a wealth of inspirations. Proposed Artist Research

Idea TwoMy second idea was to create channel art for content creators in a mock live brief style, something I have done a lot before with my own commission work. The only difference between now and back then, would be that I would now be able to do things I wasn’t able to do previously. Whether that be due to time or brief constraints set by the client. The idea being that during this project I would create a selection of high quality channel art in the semi-realistic style I like so much (examples included in mood board). These would either be for streamers I know or larger creators I follow. Something which could provide a unique opportunity to get my work out to a larger audience, through social media using the streamers’ own art hashtags. Proposed Artist ResearchFor this second idea it is hard to pin down any specific artist as most channel art and streaming assets are down by freelance graphic designers and illustrators of varying skill. Given that definition, even I myself fit into that category. However one of the more renown freelance illustrators I’ve been able to find, is a company by the name of “Visuals By Impulse”.

Idea ThreeMy third idea meanwhile was to create a series of book illustrations either based off pre-existing works such as books and films or narratives of my own making. They would be created in digitally in Procreate and/or Photoshop and would be for mock clients. Something I could then present at the end of year show either as a digital printout or in a book format. Proposed Artist Research
