Video Game Trailer: Onimusha - The Dawns of Dream


This is the trailer of Onimusha: Dawns of Dream that I found from Youtube. Although the video quality is not very good, we can still the design for this game. When i see the trailer, i'm very surprise about the design of its characters. They look nearly the same with movie or better. You can see the cherry blossom fall down from the trees, it looks like the real one. Another good design is the way that the designer create the fire, wind and the human face. I can not be sure that the fire is the movie or the animation.

Three images above are created by letter and i can't imagine that how the artist draw this picture. The first one is a picture of a heart that is created from many words and some words i don't know what they are. The second picture is the word Desire, this is the most impressive picture for me. Although this picture is quite messy and hard to see but it very beautiful and attractive. I think the artist use ink for this picture, some places are so much ink so that we will think that is real words. With the final picture, i thinks this look like a music note, not Q this can be the artist's idea.

Interactive Flash



This week, i have the final assignment in flash (an interactive flash). this is a difficult problem at the beginning. I have already searched for some example about interactive flash and both of them are the my most clearly example. With the first one, the users have to use keyboard to control the character. She can run forward, backward and also jump, climb and fall out. With the second one, you have to use mouse to click on the stars and then the stars will fall out automatically. How many times you click is how many stars will fall.

Fantasy art

Book of Wizard by *st3to

Fantasy art is one of my favourite arts. This kind of picture give me a mysterious feeling. With this picture, we can see that this book has a strong power that can change all over the world. By using black color as the background, the artist wants to emphasize the power of the book and it makes the book dominant all of the picture. The light that comes from the book makes me think about the life-energy (Mako) in Final Fantasy VII (my favourite series game). It's pure and beautiful, isn't it.
