Sometime during the second semester of my freshmen year my friends and I had an idea to compile a bunch of resources that would be relevant to us Game Art majors and created this blog: Game Art Atlas. These resources ranged from things such as ZBrush Central, Game Dev Map, and Gamasutra. If anyone has ever head of Level UP! then I would say we were creating their resource section but making that our main focus instead of overpaints and streams.
It was an interesting idea to see who has come across what kind of sites/ resources but the whole idea ended very fast. Basically after I started all the template and layout (everything on the site so far) everyone bailed. It was disappointing to see that the very thing that we were going to create to help aid us along the way in our course was abandoned right off the bat.
A good thing however on my end was that it kick started my own research/ studying discipline. Instead of publishing everything to the site like I intended to I simply gathered everything I found useful and stuck it into Google drive. This ranges from tutorials to lists of artists. The Artist Atlas section that I put together was then what started my pursuit to discover different artists out there and that has been a great source of inspiration for me. Maybe someday I'll restart the blog up from scratch again. Someday...
