"Wasteland" Inspiration
This is some of my better stuff from my first and second years in the animation program at Sheridan. At this point, I had so many unrefined ideas that I didn't know what to do with myself. I needed to focus on something to develop myself and narrow in on a style that suits me.
Sheridan had apparently thought of this beforehand. I've noticed that the classes were becoming gradually less important, our marks relying more and more on the work we produce in projects, rather than on individual meaningless assignments. Good move, Sheridan. Keep it up.
Consequently, much of my striving to find a style has resulted in research on various subjects. I am now a sufferer of chronic hey-I-should-look-that-up syndrome. Much of what I found has led me to create a world that I can work on constantly; a world where everything can exist if I want it to. When I get inspired, I usually find that it has absolutely no place in the current project I'm working on. With this world I've made, I can use such a broad range of genres and styles that nearly anything that inspires me can be used to help the story. Even if I am away from the project for a long time, there is always something that will bring me back.
This is the Wasteland of my dreams.
