Task 1 - Sources of Ideas

I have chosen to create a character, weapons and an environment for the game Borderlands 2 as this is a game which I have experience with and I really enjoy the freedom and look that comes with their particular art style.

In borderlands whenever a new character, NPC or boss is introduced they always have this brief into screen where it shows the character, their name and then often has a little saying that describes them or is there to entertain the player. I feel that I will have to do this for my character once I have a final design and name ready.

Weapons:

The weapons in this game are extremely varied with each weapon having its own distinct look with colours, styles, writing, damage type. The weapons are also exaggerated as these are weapons that will likely never be made real as they are just too crazy.
