Thumbnails Page 1
Currently I am looking at real world Fauna and Jean Paul's 2007 Spring/Summer collections, I like the theme of ethereal being and will be using said theme to make something inspired by the garden of Eden from Christian stories. I plan to draw multiple variations and designs of these 6 plants, drawing ten thumbnails for each one in colour. The plant concepts are as follows, 1.A tree trunk with fungal growths in circular shapes and spikes coming out of them growing to make a new plant on top of the currently dead tree trunk. Later on, in animation I may animate a few spores coming from the spikes to add some atmosphere. 2. A flower with spines to help its pollen travel elsewhere, Inspired by my own cacti and certain plants that I've found stuck on my walking trousers when I've gone walking in the New Forest. 3. I need to work on the weight distribution with this one, but it is supposed to be a tree, inspired by stained glass that's present in one of
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThat's the first OGR out bof the way, congrats.
Phyllis is an interseting city in regards to composition and the interplay of shapes and distance.
Rather than a supernatural aura I would suggset that Phyllis is more seductive, visitors fall in love with it , now, that may have dark connotations. Especially when the text starts talking about the fleeting nature of the environment.
For your "queens look at the examples of Soviet sculpture for a sense of majesty and strength.
In regards to classicism there are plenty of examples of neo-classicism to draw upon but think about how you can add something to a familiar concept. Light seems to be import in Phyllis, as well a variety of materials. The description seems to suggest an illusory city that isn't quite there unles you focus on particular fragments. How do you think you could suggest this fleeting nature?
Is the city real or a series of fragmented memories?
In respects to your thumbnails I would like to see some more drawn with a frame, as animators and artists we are restricted to certain boundaries this will aid your compositions and enable you to think like a cinematographer.
