Task 3.1 - Ideas Generation

These are some different designs for anvils I created. I think I prefer the middle one most due to its more complex design as well as the fact I prefer the cooler blue colour scheme. This also works well due to blue being one of the more favoured colours in my target audience.

These are some furnace designs I created. I tried to be quite experimentative with the shading and how it would react with the brick pattern, but I think my favourite design is the middle one as it helps the bricks to stand out more, giving it more detail and depth.

This was my process in designing a grindstone asset. I struggled quite a lot in making the initial outline due to the quantity of different parts and complex shapes included in the design, however once I ended up with something I was happy with I tried it out with two different colour palettes. I prefer the colour scheme on the right due to the highlights on the wood not being as prominent as I feel they look quite strange on the middle design.

These are some other assorted props I created. Once I had created the first few assets, I started to understand how creating isometric pixel art worked better and so I could create these ones much more easily than my first few items.
