Scary prospects of leaving my comfortable studio at uni, into the world of someone could actually reject what I do! And the alien idea of getting paid.
So I love LARPing, mainly for running around in a forest getting to shoot people or hit them with epic "fireballs". There's a ton of production that goes into these events, they need marketing materials, set design, props and costume to immerse everyone in the story that has been written, the surroundings need to look the part. For my venture into professional life I have contacted a few people who run LARP games. After sending out some bottles in the ocean one has got back to me! I will be doing artwork for an upcoming game, an apocalyptic world full broken down androids, big guns and Jeeps with questionable safety, think Mad Max meets Resident Evil... And lot's of leather. So these guys run lots of games, but they feel my art would work best with this one, as I tend to go down the despair route, which is a feeling they would like to instill amongst the players.
My job will be to create simple print illustrations for the Facebook event page, create ID badges for the players and help with the set design. They wanted simple due to the nature of the world, the worlds resources are depleting and everything's roughed up and worn away and they're making the best out of what they have. So I'm very excited to get behind the scenes of a weekend of storytelling.
Here's a snap of a Firefly game I recently played, as I don't have any pics of my artwork yet!
