Association work #1

Hello !

Tonight I want to present you my volunteer graphic work for a roller association in Lyon, France. I wanted to share my passion for illustration and roller skating by providing some illustrations for current events organized by the association.

Here’s my first piece of work - an illustration for the ride of Black Friday in November 2017 :

Afterwards, we added the elements of the association’s graphic chart, so we got this final image :

How do you think, is it a good way to practice your illustration skills ?

#GlobalGameJam2018

This was my second experience of #gamejam.

Our host was OldSkullGames studio.

#transition was the subject of this #GlobalGameJam.

This experience was way much better than the previous one. I felt chill during the whole event.

This time we were 3 : 2 programmers and me. My team is in the left corner in the bottom (Photo by OldSkullGames).

Our major goal was to make a simple game that works, and only then to add some features/tutorials and other stuff.

Our working process was well-managed. This time, I asked the programmers which graphic element I had to provide at each stage of our work. By doing so, I managed not to exhaust myself during these 48 hours by making a lot of useless stuff.

This Game Jam and my team mates gave me an opportunity to try a new graphic technique which I will soon present on my Behance page : I merged watercolor painting with digital art. It was appreciated it in our game.

During this Game Jam I learned an important lesson : even if you want to make a simple 2D game, you have to be a little bit familiar with 3D technics. So I am more motivated now learning #Blender. Besides, 3D games with fancy graphics look really awesome, like this game (try with joysticks) created by our colleagues.

Are there anyone who learned the 3D modeling/animation by himself/herself ? How was it ?

My first #gamejam experience

It happened in Lyon, France.

#GameDevParty is an association in #Lyon which aims to promote and create independent video games in the #RhôneAlpes region in France. École de commerce of Lyon hosted us in its locations.

The subject was Friday the 13th.There were 8 teams and about 40 participants.

-=Link to the description of our game=-

We had a team of 7 : 6 programmers and me as a #graphicdesigner.

Positive points :

I think that the first experience is always the most important and memorable. I got my idea of what #gamejam is, how to manage time and working process. And this due to the following negative points :

Negative points :

In our team there was only one person which had already taken part in a #gamejam. Moreover, 3 out of 5 programmers were not familiar enough with #Unity, the game engine the most popular on Game Jams. Our concept wasn’t well determined either. It was also way too ambitious for Game Jam beginners. As a result, we had an enormous problem in management.

For example, I took too much work to do. I spent the Saturday drawing pixel sprites, but only a dozen of it was implemented in our game as not all of the game macanics had been programmed.

Port Aventura

This weekend 28.04-1.05 was really awesome !

It’s the first time I’ve come to Spain, I’ve tried some really breathtaking attractions and one thing I prefer to keep in secret.

My favourite ones : Yukatan, Dragon Khan, Stampida

A very nice day in Montpellier-Le-Vieux. I had an idea to make a photo like this in the ancient rocks of this curious valley. PS Lion King forever

About me

I should have started my blog with a little presentation of myself, so now I’m going to fix it :)

My name is Mariia or Marie for my french friends. Yes, this is me skating in a park in Moscow, where I am from. I’m 23, I love summer, sea, seaside sunrise, reading, learning languages, swimming, roller skating, going for a walk, hiking and admiring beautiful landscapes.

The things oriented my choice to leave my birthplace, Moscow, and to come to France, where I’ve lived for 2 years for instance, in the city of Montpellier.

There is the sea :

Beautiful gardens with exotic fruits :

And, of course, The University of Montpellier Paul Valéry III. I entered its Institut of information and communication and I‘ve been making my studies of digital communications and organizations.

In this photo I’m asking some students for their user experience for my first-year dissertation on the identity of our academic department :

This year I work as a junior graphic designer in Capifrance. It’s an agency based in France that unites independent realtors. Here is its logo :

I make visit cards for realtors, brochures and flyers. I also realise some pictures for the public page Facebook of the company. Like this, in Photoshop :
