Darren Hogan

Games and Animation

I am a 4th year design student studying gaming and animation in GMIT. I’ve always had a deep love for art and gaming and hope one day to turn my passion into a profession. I have been recognized for my work numerous times in various art competitions and commissions.

Throughout my studies I became greatly interested in 3D modelling especially in the 3D software Blender and I find the tools and processes easy and fun. I hope one day to work as part of a company creating 3D models and 3D animations for different projects. I’m hardworking, dedicated and always try to push myself to learn new things.

Kelly Mc Ginty

Games and Animation

I am a big fan of Anime so for my pieces of work two of the pieces are my own characters (ocs) that are based around fantasy and in anime style drawing. The first piece is a college project for a turnaround of a oc, the next two are just my own ocs that I drawn in my own time outside of college. Given the choice to pick I decided to present work of my very own as in my own time for a while I have drawings my own ocs and decided to share them like this

Conor Devlin

Games and Animation

My name is Conor Devlin, and I am a final year student in Gaming and Animation. I have a huge passion for animated movies and tv shows and wish to work on them some day. During my free time, I love to create digital artworks on Photoshop, using the skills I have learned in the last few years. The pieces I have chosen here are some of my favourites, I hope you enjoy!

The Origin of Yuji Itadori by Conor Devlin, 2D, digital, A3, This is a piece I created for an art competition as a part of one of my assignments. The task was to draw a character for the popular Anime, Jujutsu Kaisen. I decided to draw the main protagonist, Yuji Itadori. I attempted to combine the styles of both the Anime and Manga, with the background being styled as manga page to depict the origin of his story..
Meet the Robinsons Redesign by Conor Devlin, 2D, digital, A3, This is a piece I created as a part of a project I was given during my time on placement at Telegael. I was tasked to redesign a movie character in line with the style of the Hotel Transylvania Animated series. I chose to redesign Lewis from Meet the Robinsons, one of my favourite movies. After I finished the final design, I created various facial expressions, action poses, and finally, a turnaround for the character.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon by Conor Devlin, 2D, digital, A3, This was another project I undertook while on placement at Telegael. I was tasked with creating my own version of concept art based off Pokemon Mystery Dungeon’s concept art. I decided to draw Pikachu and Eevee as I played the games with these characters, with Dragonite delivering a letter to them as he does so in the games.

Emma Donoghue

Contemporary Art

Biography

Emma Donoghue is an emerging artist from Co Mayo. This artist initially graduated from GMIT Mayo with a bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Art Practises in 2020, followed on by graduating from GMIT CCAM Galway in 2021 with an honour bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Art. Emma plans to develop her carrier by working in the community through art while continuing painting part as a professional artist.

Artist Statement

My work is influenced by the coastlines that surround me in north Mayo, where I find myself engulfed by beautiful and captivating colours, patterns, textures, and movement.

My investigation of this landscape has drawn my attention to some of the large-scale buildings that are doted around the coastline. These structures like all manufactured objects are created from materials that originate from nature and are then encapsulated by humans but are then accepted and embraced back by nature.

I Initially photograph and sketch my different observations, followed by developing a suitable colour pallet for the pieces. My paintings are mostly consisting of large scale works on canvas, using oil paint with various mediums.
