Update 11/07/11 - Idea 1.

What have I been up to these past couple of weeks?. I've been gathering reference material for the main character, environments and creatures for "Idea 1" from taking photos of caterpillars to taking videos of myself prancing round like an idiot (I do enjoy that part of developing an idea!)

My early vision of the main character shows him carrying a large backpack so I've been taking HD video of me walking round, carrying and holding onto bags with the intention of getting some decent quality screen grabs of me in action. Currently my girlfriend is raising some caterpillars so I've taken the chance to take some micro photos so inspiration can be drawn for the creatures in this game. Finally I've started work on gathering images and photos of jungle like environment, along with flowers that catch my eye, to begin work on drawing the environments (Disney's "Tarzan" was a good start!).


Look at it's tiny hairs!

...and the tiny black and yellow blobs!

A rather  idea-provoking photo I felt. Imagine if that rock was the size of a cottage.
Eep!, I wouldn't want to fall into that!.
And Finally, a screen grab of me prancing round
