Upon taking on this project I was not expecting to have quite so much to do, having to juggle multiple classes and their respective homework is never easy but like diving into deep water you either learn to swim or end up drowning, I like to think I have learned to swim, for the most part that is.
While much of the project was relearning basics there are a few things I have gained from this project in particular, the work on concept art has given me a better understanding of work ethic and how projects start in the business world.
I have also learned quite a few new things about photoshop, while I have been using it for some time I have never delved into the colour editing side of things or masks for that matter, this will definitely be something I can learn more of and would like to.
The work has left me with mixed feelings, I feel proud that I could even remotely keep up with such large amounts of work but at the same time the work I have made is not up to my personal standards, juggling quantity over quality is a difficult thing to master as amazing detail is not always what is required, sometimes you need to just let a piece be fluid and maybe a bit abstract.
What will I be taking away from this as a lesson? Well I would say that the biggest lesson here is to speed up, I have been far too slow in my work but it's not due to laziness, I have a hurdle I need to cross involving learning disabilities, I cannot let something like that control my life or my work. Excuses won't cut it in the real world.
