For our third week, we were moved to new groups and told to help them work on concepts and more thumbnails for their world. Me and Simas from group 6 got moved to group 7, where they’re planning on making a cyberpunk world. With this in mind, I straight away thought of bright lit city structures and Oni masks so I added them into my work.
A concept for the backstory of the world was a thief with a heart of gold who either steals food for the poor or steals a game cartridge for their younger brother who wants the game but cant find it anywhere. This is where my final thumbnail of the data farm came from. You can see the thief dimly lit in the back of the room at a console taking the game for their brother.
These thumbnails had to be done in black and white, as we were working on tonal values this week with black being the closest object and white being the farthest. Black also helps focus on the white which can help give a major focus point in the image.
A full illustration was also required for this homework, so I took the thumbnail which I thought was the most interesting and closely tied to the worlds backstory.
The image is a little messed up because the cropping didn’t work, but on the top image I added a layer of black over everything to make it seem more mysterious and interesting. But I put both of them here so you can see and compare the differences.
