On this day, we got a brief about the direction of the project. Mr. Aszrizal gave us three paths to choose from:

Feedback from Mr. Azsrizal:

Consider changing the title to be Indonesian "giling"/ ulek. Research is fine, I need to keep closely in mind the refinement of the artwork to be finalized. Keep searching for references etc. Make sure that the viewed not in my expertise can understand the massage and what I want to communicate, understand the setting concept and the futuristic aspect. Later on, Mr. Kannan makes sure to explain to him.

Week 4:

I started compiling more references for the characters and environment. Then I start with my initial sketches of the characters.

This week has no feedback due to the supervisor's circumstances.

Week 5:

Feedback from Mr. Kannan:

- The Artbook needs to have a purpose for instance for a game or an animation

- Do more research on animation on what kind of animations to do

- Elaborate more on the story

Week 6:

This week I did more thumbnail sketches for the characters and the environment

Feedback from Mr. Kannan:

- FIx the anatomy and the proportions

- The farm is too broad and too empty

Week 8:

The night before the presentation I did a consultation with Mr. Kannan

Feedback:

- The anatomy needs to be fix

- Story is too long shortens a bit

- Explore more about the environment

Presentations:

Feedback:

- From Mr. Vinod: The idea is good already, on track a

- From Ms. Anis and Mr. Shamsul: Need to change the anatomy of the girl is too muscular

Week 10:

This week I created the Village for the story

Feedback from Mr. Kannan:

The village can be used already but need to add something like symbolism perhaps, to add more narrative and selling point can extend the village and temple.

Week 13:

I was busy the past weeks trying to make all the assets for the concept, this week I created the food company as well as Ira's farmhouse. After that, I also created the turnaround of Ira's and worked on the other characters

Feedback from Mr. Kannan:

Still missing a lot and need to do a lot more work that needs to be done, in the remaining days make sure the drawing is solid. short it out like an actual book.
