Scene 4 - ASSETS

Due to all the different rocks I included in this it was too much to make an asset list sheet. Because the environment was much closer to the mountains than previous scenes I featured much more rocks and pebbles in this scenery. I would really like to have the minotaur standing just in front of the...

Scene 3 - ASSETS

I wasn't too impressed with myself by this scene, the blend between the fairy looking land to the stony, barren land had me struggling since I wasn't sure how to go about making the two come together. I decided on having a few bits of grass poking through the sand to give the impression the...

Scene 2 - ASSETS

Here's a few assets that make up the second scene and at the moment my favourite one. I made a 3-frame animation of the fairy's wings moving and to follow up, a blink animation that I haven't displayed on this sheet. Throughout the animation I wanted to keep a consistent theme of keeping everything...

Animation Production - Evaluation

For this unit we had to create what would be a journey through environment(s). I started with some initial planning - branching off ideas with a spider diagram, this influenced some themes and styles for what I would be worth concepting. I sketched some rough bases in my sketchbook, addressing on sticky notes their strengths and weaknesses and whether I could make them work. Because at the time...

Scene 1 - ASSETS

My assets for scene one consist of the boat sailing towards the island in the distance. This is a short introduction to the environment and what I wanted to be visibly clear was the volcano. Because the volcano is the end goal location I wanted to draw attention to it. I wanted it to be a different...

Initial Ideas

Initial Idea 1 This piece is was inspired by the Greek underworld. Greek mythology is something I've always found really stimulating, especially the different beasts such as the hydra and minotaur. I looked at a few pictures of the generic hellish look and liked the whole lava waterfall concept....

Initial Planning

When I first started brain storming ideas that would be suitable for this module I started by jotting down the different ideas that came to mind. I categorized them in to what inspired me, themes and all the environments I could rememb...

Practice Enrichment - Evaluation

Practice enrichment was a very brief module expanding our skills index based on live drawing. We started by taking pictures of our hands and tracing them, this was very straight forward. Instead of filling in the shading we had to place lines in where the shadows, lines and detail was much more obvious. On the live drawing week we had to work on A2 paper and an easel. I found this very straining...

Practice Enrichment - Research

Research Mode 2 Battle of the Year 2013 Poster This Illustration is by Mode 2, one of the main reasons this piece appeals to me is the fact that it has such a unique and dynamic art style, it is very detailed but the way the lines are drawn...
