Coincidence?

Such a funny coincidence! I decided to join to the course and just today I got to Skype coversation with the tutor and others. But well... Ok, everything from the very beginning.

My room mate is also in the project so earlier with her I had been discussing the idea that had been stuck in my mind since I drew this picture:

 It was based on two sketches that I came up with during my drawing classes:

Then it turned into another drawing, where the forest was completely invisible but rather the mental picture of it was shown:

So. My general idea was to combine these two in 3D world: create the world where forest would be a labyrinth and the person walking through would feel so uneasy. Mysterious sounds, shapes... loneliness, etc. Talking about it with my room mate we wanted to introduce a kind of plot. Do you know the game Slenderman? The whole game is all about collecting 8 notes put all around a forest, but Slender is chasing you and you don't know where or when he can appear. What's more, you're armed only with a torch and your only defence is your sense and speed. It doesn't sound so complicated but then it's really hard indeed! And some people may lose their senses while playing. Hence, we thought to follow the pattern more or less.

During the Skype conversation it appeared that the team had started doing something so familiar! It's already with additional stuff, some plot, etc. But the main idea of a creepy forsaken forest is maintained. Awww... I'm so excited about the project!
