Cate, Abby and I teach took on of these a did the exercise. Once we were finish we they discussed our findings.
Cate did Attack on Titan
Abby did Looney tunes
and I did Arcane
Attack on Titan
“1- Heavy questionable moral content and follows the character of a young boy growing up, lots of war content contribute to target audience of older teenagers (specifically men) 2- art style influenced and pulled from the manga featuring Hajime Isayama art, he was inspired by Project ARMS manga (brutal storyline with grotesque imagery), His hometown Oyama in japans surrounding large mountains for imagery of the colossal walls, For titans designs and visuals used magazines and strangers in interenet cafes and found the most unpleasant expressions he could find, Japanese horror influence such as Godzilla, Gamera and mothra, Jurassic park theme of human made monsters let loose on to terrorise, lots of german influence character wise and architecture wise inspires war theme, human anatomy books 3- Military, strict, heavy themes of life and death, flippancy of human life in a war 4- use of uniforms and brown and green camo colours throughout for the war theme and fleshy monsters to assist the heavy theme of life and death, flippancy of human life and genocide, stark reds used for blood in contrast of the camo based colours 5- Consistant theme, almost medieval and war based colours and designs seen in the uniform designs, walls and towns however something i feel could have been done better is character design as a lot of characters are extremely similar in looks and almost repeated throughout background characters with very little unique silhouettes for a show with so many important main characters. character silhouettes almost copy and pasted with changed colours 6- -muted brown, greens, greys and fleshy colours
- Basic character designs, uniforms and plain hair no specific unique features, besides nose shape
- when drawing titants dead, 100 yard stare eyes as uncomfortable an expression to look at as possible”
Arcane
- Target audience: Older teens and upwards. Arcane appeals to any gender particularly fans of League of Legends.
- Influences: League of legends, Classic Anime, Hellsing, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Gungrave.
- Mood: Dark and chaotic
- Art style: 3D Models painted to look like 2D. The lighting in the show is very dark and moody. The colour palate is also dark which also conveys the moodiness of the show.
The dark and chaotic mood of the art work of Arcane highlights both the dark and miserable setting of the undercity and the false beauty of the other place.
- Arcane has similar styles to Spider-verse and TMNT mutant mayhem. Arcane does the more gritty fights scenes better – the drawing is better and the mood is set in a more detailed way. The animators are very good at setting dark tones and heavy emotions in different scenes.
- 3 rules
- Comic book based art style
- Painted look on 3D models to give the a 2D look
- cel shading
