【19.10.2015-30.10-2015】TinderBox character design

——————SIHOUETTES——————  

 

   

    I made the body look very different because I think it will be more exoteric for me to think about the feelings of people. I think the Soldier could be a dwarf because he needs to go to a great tree in the story. So I think that is why the Witch requested the Soldier to take the tinderbox for her, Maybe the reason why the soldier is so very small. The Princess is a beautiful woman. So I would like to make her looks very fetching. I thought about the 'S' shape for her body and the hair style, after all I think she could be a gentle person. The Witch is a very hideous person, and her lower lip hung down upon her breast. She is a hunchbacked woman because of this she will be like the witch in the story. Then I thought about the character silhouette of her, I would like to make her look like a curious oddity .

【05.10.205 - 18.10.2015】Concept Design — Timepiece

——————SIHOUETTES——————

 

 

 

    There are some scrawled images of my timepiece. First I drew silhouettes to find some ideas. I would then use them and mix them together because I think the combination would be interesting.

     I like the use of the 'Gothic' theme for my timepiece because time is meaning 'Life' for me. Such as time time is the only thing we can never get back. Many historians tell us time is the witness,the dark tone of life filled with blood,death and despair.
    We can not resist time we can only surrender to it. We are the genuflector( worshippers) of time.We cherish time,pursue the sun and plan our around it. Time is irresistible. We can do anything with time. But the rule of the world is ; End of life we die .Time has run it's course. Gothic is embroiled in the darkness the ghostly obsessed dark side of humanity. So I would use this genre to make my timepiece. To remind humanity not to lose or waste time. In it self time is valuable for everyone.

【28.09.2015】Composition & Light

 ———— Composition ————

 

   Today I studied some compositions of drawing; we talked  about 'The Rule of Thirds', 'The L', 'The cross' and the 'Iconic'. I think they are very useful for me,they will help me to improve my artwork.  

 

 

   This image I used was 'The iconic cross' . I use the cross to distinguish 2 characters. In image, one the character is propping other character because I would like to make these two have a relationship so they have an interaction together.

    I put these characters up and down of the image.  The up one is light in the dark and the below one is opposite. Because the story of these two characters is strange. I made the main colour dark green because I want to give the image a gloomy atmosphere. This drawing is not very detailed but I think is good enough for me to depict in next time.

 

    Now I would like to talk about these two character: 

【22.09.15-04.10.15】Concept Design — Insect

     

 

    Here is my concept design of the 'Insect'.

    First I think the insects as I have drawn them in the image the ant, butterfly, cockroach, bee, dragonfly, centipede, earthworm, scorpion and so on...
    I pick the Eurypterid, Ant and Bee for my concept design because I would like to make my character background story about them.

 

———————————————ANT—————————————

 

---Idea of Ant---

    I think 'Ants' have good programme of survival, they are very adapted to avoid disaster and masters of foraging much like native people of old. We have many different cultures and we are still evolving. Justice and evil things happen in our world as they may the insect world. It could be same. So I would like to quote the Ant and make a new world for them, I will metaphor the Ant world . I think this idea will be nice to try. An Ant world, what are they like ? Are they the top of Food chain?

    The beginning I start to create details silhouettes of my work. I think about the skill they have and how to make them more games like.

 

    After that I try to do some concept of rationalization change; like this one, I thought about the evolution process of ant. Because walking upright is a big ting of evolution in the human world, so I would like to make ant walking upright as well. Then they could have a era similar to the 'Stone Age' and so on..

 

           

 

 

 

    Secondly, I think about how to create the body of character, because I would like to make my character pretty and attractive to people. even the internal structure of the body.
