Where My Art and Future Technology Could Merge by 2030

In the next ten years, it’s easy to predict that technology will continue to advance, as more scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs build and introduce better machines, devices and utilities than what we would have right now. By 2030, I imagine we we have at our fingertips a series of new innovations we can’t even imagine today! Just look at how far we’ve come technologically, in the past 13 years alone:

Of course, I can’t exactly write about how I would use technology ten years from now if we can’t yet imagine what it will be like by then. What I can write about today is tech that’s already come out that I’d like to use as new tools to create digital artworks, unlike and beyond anything I could ever do with pencils, crayons and paper alone.

I have been looking into getting a new type of desktop for several years now, as so far I have been using only laptops. One desktop I’ve considered is called the Microsoft Surface Studio 2, which works similar to the Surafce Pro; it’s less portable, but is alos A LOT more powerful.

While I was in college, my classes taught me the basics of these Adobe Creative Cloud programs:

•

But as you can see in the video below, there are WAY MORE programs that Adobe has to offer that I have yet to use or even learn about:

I have heard and seen A LOT of graphic artists use this software, but I also heard it’s mainly for iPhone or Apple products (my current cell phone is an Android):

According to my internet searches, these are ACTUAL digital art masterpieces that were created using Procreate:

Animatics can be a great way to produce films that can effectively tell a visual story to add to a soundtrack, but would take less production time compared to an full animation; examples are one of my favorite animatics I’ve found online, along with a short tutorial of how she produced them below:

Another animation program I’ve thought of getting is called Toon Boom Harmony; it’s specifically for 2D Animation and can actually be quite STUNNING and AUTHENTIC-LOOKING with the right amount of practice and execution, as you can see in this (believe it or not) FANMADE clip below:

So, what kinds of artworks WOULD I create with this? Well, really the sky would be the limit here, but what I’d WANT TO use these for is to create content for the United Cartoons, a media company I plan to startup in the coming decade. That being said, I wouldn’t restrict myself to just making cartoons, as I know these technologies would be capable of much more than that, and because I may want and/or need to create for personal, social, and academic purposes, as well.
