I have included my new learning agreement below, essentially I will be creating a character concept to fit into the same theme as the props I have designed.
Using what I learnt reading Interaction of Color, I tried out some of the exercises myself. Below are images of the colour combinations I tried out. In this experiment, the smaller orange squares are the same colour, but due to the colours that surround them and the colours they lie on top of, they appear different. I tried a few different colour combinations myself to replicate this effect, I also tried staying within the same hue and just changing saturation and light. This experiment is about the subtraction of colour, I used two colours with hue near each other on the colour wheel, using a grey background behind one and a dark background of another colour behind the other. When staring in the middle of these it makes the colours look the same or very similar when they are quite different. In this experiment I wanted to see how a pattern could look different if only the background colour was changed. Making one background a dark red, and the other a light yellow, it makes the c...
I worked on some sketches following on from the thumbnails I did previously, I am happy with how these sketches turned out and I think I got to explore lots of ideas. It helped me establish things I didn’t like and design elements I would want to potentially take into the final concept for this character. To speed up my process, I sketched over a reference image of a person standing posed and designed the character on top of this outline. Below is a picture of the concepts, and a timelapse of the process. Next, I went through each design to see elements I liked and things I thought didn’t really work. Effectively asking “Does it look good?” and “Does it serve a function?”, generally if the answer to either of these is yes, then I find the design element has potential and might do well in a final concept. If it doesn’t make a design look good or if it doesn’t make sense, then there’s no point in taking it further. Elements I like I circled green, elements I didn’t like I circled re...
In this post I will go through my process of how I created my illustration, with multiple screenshots showing each stage. I wanted to show a whale oil extraction taking place in an unhygienic room, my thought process was that although whale oil is distributed on mass, I thought there must be some unofficial suppliers who try to profit from it. I thought of a room with blood and whale oil on the floor, suppliers that do not follow any sort of regulations. Initial sketching and line-work I started with some general boxes in perspective to understand what the room would look like and what I would include. I then started to sketch out the contents of the room, the whale being hoisted onto the ceiling and various furnishings in the room. Blood covering the floor. Next I created cleaner line-work for the core elements of the illustration. I wanted the viewer to understand something is being harvested from the whale, even if they are unfamiliar with the Dishonored franchise. Shading and ...
