Saturday, Feb. 8

Had my first in-person meeting with Neal (really happy to see him!) Before the meeting I sent him my working pitch document and art boards to review.

• Overall, we’re both positive on my progress. Both on my embrace of a looser style, my artistic chops, and the narrative direction of the piece.
• I’m still a bit lost as to what to include–Neal’s suggested I think in levels.
• Three different showcases of transitioning my concept to 3D.
• These should be different approaches, or solving different “problems” my art presents.
• Neal kept citing Breath of the Wild–its ‘flat’ style. I want to key into this more.

Next steps:

• Really nail down a calendar–not just times to work, but milestones I want to meet.
• Come up with a blog schedule–what kind of posts I want to make and when.
• Sort through my existing concepts–what do I like/dislike?
• General reflection; how do I feel about the project so far?
• Do a general sort/organization of my photos–I want to be able to locate all my references/textures immediately.
