Working on a self published book!! Thoughts?

[Ashton H]

Hello amazing community!

I'm currently working on self-published artbook collection, and I'm really enjoying the process.

The collection consists of a few books, each one based on a "specialty".

Example:

• "90 days of character design"
• "90 days of environment design"

And so on...

I want each book to include a wide variety of different styles.

Why?

I really enjoy myself exploring new ways to express my ideas. (Practice & enjoyment)

Each design will include a very little story, maybe just a sentence, so the person who's reading can actually imagine a story based on the design. (Environment, character, vehicle...)

(As soon as I finish editing the writing I'll share it with you! Still have to clarify a few things.)

Right now I've got 3 (nearly) finished environments.

And I would like to know your thoughts on them!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them. ️

These are great! The top two reminds me of art design that could be in a game app. I really like the colors you used in these. Good job I'm excited to see the finished book!

@Squirrel-Size Thank you! You don't know how glad I am that you enjoyed them. Great love and respect!

@Ashton-H Reminds me of the "good old days" in Mario Party N64 for the first two and the Zelda game I had for the N64 for the last one (paddock and horses). I wish you all the best -looks like a lot of fun and a lot of work.

It's great to see that this would be a self-published book, @Ashton-H! The first two also instantly reminded me of game level art.

All the best, and I hope you'd continue to post your progress.

@Dima-Eichhorn Thank you Dima! I absolutely appreciate your encouragement.

@Heather-Boyd Thank you Heather! The first two environments are totally inspired on Mario 64. You've nailed it!

@animatosoor Thank you Soorya! I really appreciate your support. The first two environments are totally based on Mario 64 level art. I will make sure I let you know when I finish more designs.

Congratulations on your amazing work. You've definitely inspired me!

@Ashton-H Aw, this took me by surprise! Thank you, and it's equally inspiring to me that you're working on your own self-published art books. Keep going!
