More throne room designs from our current term 2 students. #FZD #design #drawing

The "Throne Room" is a mid-term project at FZD. Even though it's a straightforward theme with a clear function, the possibilities for entertainment design is endless. Here are some great examples from our current 2 students. The designs also must include an animal motif.

This is the fallout shelter assignment. Students are all given the same rough 3d underlay and theme. They have to retain the original layout but add in their own design style and details. Great exercise for learning how to draw on top of 3d and following spec.

This is the Street Fighter stage design assignment; part of our visual development course. The simpler perspective (1-point) makes it easier for students to learn about screen composition and design elements. We also locked the theme (in this case, Asia) to remove overthinking.

Doing "exploded views" are a great way to learn about perspective and how objects are assembled. This knowledge is very useful for any designer. Here are some beautiful examples from our current Term 1 students. #FZD #design #drawing

Our term 2 students are going strong! This is another one of their assignments called the "sidekick." The goal is to design a sidekick character with a specific job role. #FZD #design #drawing

A few more cool sidekick character designs. #FZD #design #drawing

This is called the "life cycle creature design" assignment. Instead of designing just monsters, this project encourages students to think about how life forms live and adopt to their natural environments. Here are some great examples from our current 2 students.
