Tone and Value

 

This week our groups for the Design a World project were shuffled about and I was moved to a new group. We also looked at the tone and value in drawings and the importance of them to help distinguish subjects and composition in our drawings. For this we were tasked with completing another 6 thumbnail drawings, making sure to consider the tone and value in our drawings to better the compositions.

 

After this we had to pick one of these drawings and produce a larger, more detailed version of it. Below shows my A4 size drawing of my mushroom forest thumbnail.

New character designs

These drawings are set around the world in my new group. This world is about three separate land masses floating around in space together after the Earth had been destroyed thousands of years ago. On each splinter of Earth there is a different environment, one being a toxic mushroom area which has mutated mushroom people living in giant mushrooms. Another being an ice crystal area with ice people living in giant crystals. Finally, there is a corrupt futuristic robot city which is attempting to take over the other two areas. On the outskirts of the city there is an abandoned jungle which, deep inside, has mutated half human half animal people. After coming into this new group and this already highly developed world I started looking into character designs for the mushroom and ice crystal people. Below are my initial character designs for this new project and some images I used as references.
