This week, I was moved into the Bioluminescent world group. As the characters and world have undergone mass mutation, I decided that I would make a character who shares DNA with a hedgehog. For now, his design is still in the works and I do need to experiment more with a different face and bodyContinue reading WEEK 5: CHARACTER DESIGNS
Below are some standard creatures that may be found in the biomes of this world. I am currently working on their habitats which will be posted here later so for now I will show what has been completed by far. These iguana inspired creatures may look intimidating, but for the most part, they are ratherContinue reading Creature designs and further world building
Here are three different shows that I have referenced. These are as follows: The Owl House, Hercules, and Gravity Falls. The reason I have chosen these three is due to their individual unique sense of colour choices. Hercules, in particular, I am in love with due to the style of application. Below, there is anContinue reading WEEK 4: Examining colour palettes in animation
This week, we were challenged with colour theory. This was done by tasks of 3 digital paintings, two of which had to represent an emotion based on our choice of palette and the other using a specific colour technique (e.g. Analogous, Triadic, complementary). For my thumbnail drawing, I had an attempt at using a monochromaticContinue reading WEEK 4: COLOUR ASSIGNMENTS
Notes taken from Blackboard: ‘Week 4 – lesson content’ Analogous– Colours next to each other on the wheel. Similar in hues & sequential. Complementary– Made up of two colours opposing each other on the colour wheel. For example, orange & blue, red & green and purple & yellow. Triadic– Hues that are picked between 120Continue reading COLOUR THEORY in depth
This week, we had to do another 6 thumbnail studies. However, these were to be focused more on tonal value. As you can see below, I have included my thumbnails which are built up of some of the scenes I imagine to appear in our world. Furthermore, I decided that I wanted to try andContinue reading WEEK 3: TONAL VALUES
Here are some of the designs I’ve been working on this week. The first two characters are based on the Dipper constellations, which are both based on the word ‘Ursa’, meaning bear in Latin. I took this concept to base these characters upon bear-like traits. Little Dipper is pretty much finished and Big Dipper isContinue reading Character Designs
Vincent Van Gogh was a post-impressionist artist who was born on 30th March 1853. However, it wasn’t until he died and years after that his work became well-renowned for its use of well-structured compositions, colour co-ordination and his infamous brushstrokes. Moreover, his style itself is extremely eye-catching. One of the things you notice first isContinue reading ARTIST REFERENCE: Vincent Van Gogh
In the second week, we were advised to make a bunch of thumbnails to practice perspectives. With my group’s current theme, which is based on star constellations, I decided to create environments that incorporate the early fundamentals of this story. Overall, I think I did not too bad considering I only worked on them forContinue reading WEEK 2: Composition Thumbnail experiments
This week I began studying elements of Composition/Perspective. Below are some screenshots from three different shows in which I have attempted to study their perspectives. After inspection, I found out that some of these were off. Examples of this would be how the first one’s focal point is in the wrong place and the thirdContinue reading WEEK 2: COMPOSITION & PERSPECTIVE
