Konceptna ilustracija za video igro v postapokaliptičnem svetu

Ježovnik, Eva (author), Nabernik, Marija (mentor)

Oblikovanje konceptne ilustracije video igre sem si izbrala, saj mi je proces oblikovanja video iger zelo zanimiv in ga je vredno raziskati. Predvsem mi je zanimivo, kaj je treba upoštevati pri video igri kot mediju pripovedovanja zgodb. S temo želim opozoriti na psihološki vidik izkušnje groze v svetu, kjer primanjkuje osnovnih surovin za preživetje. Poglobila se bom v področje domišljijske, konceptne ilustracije. Raziskala bom različne avtorje, ki ustvarjajo na tem področju. Raziskovala bom proces in metodologijo oblikovanja video igre. Razvijala bom specifično podobo karakterjev, prostora in različnih predmetov, ki se bodo v igri pojavljali. Okolje video igre, ki ga bom oblikovala, bo postapokaliptično, saj menim, da smo v današnji dobi atomskih bomb in degradacije okolja najbližje tej pesimistični prihodnosti. V diplomski nalogi se bom posvetila različnim tipom video iger, predvsem srhljivih in njihovega faktorja izražanja groze. Raziskovala bom tudi, kako med seboj uspešno mešati digitalne in tradicionalne tehnike. Izdelala bom publikacijo, v kateri bo skozi različne konceptne ilustracije predstavljena moja vizija postapokaliptičnega sveta. Zanimalo me bo, ali lahko stilizacija in abstrakcija pri upodabljanju elementov igre doprineseta k dojemanju realnosti ali povečanemu občutku groze.

• Title: Concept art for a video game set in a post-apocalyptic world

Abstract

I chose video game concept illustration design because I find the video game design process very interesting and worth exploring. I am especially interested in a video game as a storytelling medium. I chose this topic because I want to draw attention to the psychological aspect of experiencing horror in a world where there is a lack of resources necessary for survival. I will delve into the realm of fiction, conceptual illustration. I will explore various authors who create in this field. I will also research the process and methodology of video game design. I will develop a specific image of the characters, space and various objects that will appear in the game. The environment of the designed video game will be post-apocalyptic, as I believe that in today's age of atomic bombs and environmental degradation; we are the closest to this pessimistic future. In my thesis, I will focus on different types of video games, especially horror games and their factor of expressing horror. I will also research how to successfully mix digital and traditional techniques. I will create a publication in which my vision of the post-apocalypticworld will be represented through various concept illustrations. I will be interested to see if the stylization and abstraction in the rendering of game elements can contribute to the perception of reality or an increased sense of horror.
