Email

Had a lovely e-mail back from a new contact - apart from the cold :( & wow, we have such a similar agenda - exciting. We speak on Friday & I can imagine I will glean so much information but am hoping I can offer snippets of help too :) Best get back to my mindmapping & questionnaire!

Waiting to hear back from another Games Industry insider contact today, but still got others to locate & contact - both here & abroad!

Had another lovely chat with Aurelie at Women In Games Jobs today, following up with an email to Gina Jackson, CEO & see what help & information I can obtain. I have also asked if there are any new developments, or discussions current to today!

Watched this today: Art of Guerra Sketching video link of digital sketching on Facebook

"I've been asked many times by many of you on this page that you would like to be able to watch me draw. Well seeing that I've taken to draw digitally more often than I normally would. I thought I'd record this little video to show you how I work. I'll do more of these in the future with my voice explaining what I'm doing." Art of Guerra

1 of my fellow students follows this Games Artist, & although I may not like all his work, or rather not all my style, I think I can learn from his sketches; they show technique, development & a process.

"A little experimentation." Art of Guerra

"Doing some doodling of some of characters I have for a future comic." Art of Guerra

"Some quick gestures." Art of Guerra

"I was playing around with trying different exaggerated body types." Art of Guerra

"These are some quick studies from reference. Some were a few minutes and the last 20 minutes. I'm going to be doing more of these, probably twice a week. I feel like I have to work on many of weaknesses. But from that I can only improve."  Art of Guerra

"This a random doodle. I was letting my brain drift and it sort of settled on this image. I think I may at some point do some more studies and make this into a digital painting." Art of Guerra

"A doodle that I did in between inking pages of Super Corporate Heroes." Art of Guerra

WIGI Nov 2012 Newsletter - FB

Read the Women in In Games International Nov 12 Newsletter, & although it would be interesting to visit & learn more on the topic of the image of women portrayed in Games, I realise my Dissertation is on 'Women in the Work Place', & my time would be better tailored to this topic.

"GDC 2013 news! WIGI is in the second proposal phase for a GDC 2013 panel session featuring the results of the Healthy Media Commission on Positive Images of Women and Girls in the Media. If all goes well, Healthy Media will be the WIGI theme for GDC 2013."
