I had these in my OGR but realized not in a separate post! In case they became hard to find, I thought I'd post them separately here.

Cinematic Spaces Unit 1: Final Concepts

Have been reluctant to post these!

1. The Angel Statue
A beautiful angel carved out of marble, upon a sphere, with her face concealed by a shroud. 

2. The city of Kor

A city built by an ancient civilization, which had been long abandoned, not destroyed, but over grown with nature. I liked the idea of new life taking over.

3. The magical Fire

 In a dormant volcano, a magical fire which grants immortality should one be emerged with it. 

Influence maps

Here are my influence maps which I always have up while making thumbnails. These are so helpful! Wish I knew of this method before.

She: A history of adventure Research

Thought I had uploaded this a while ago, as it was in my OGR, but here is my research into the time.

Space and Environment Unit 1: Thumbnails

I have been trying to develop my cave scene ideas the most lately as it was the most neglected. 

 

Here is thumbnails 1-6 for one scene, but I feel is just too typical cave.

So i thought I'd go back to pencil and paper as I'm struggling with using photoshop and I felt it was stopping me from being creative. (excuses ahaha)

6 more thumbnails, really liked this idea so wanted to take it forward. Wanted to make a colour scheme

Will play around with more colourschemes more. This is of course very messy, it wasn't really supposed to be posted as it's more of a map for me.

The scene includes gargoyles, which I struggle to draw. I had another practice but it didn't go so well.

I made a design for the floor 

This is just a rough plan so far will edit it for the final later if I decide to include something like this.

Here are some more sketches for the city of kor but I don't feel either are particularly strong

Unit 1 Cinematic Spaces: Thumbnails, Angel Redesign

My last thumbnails I felt the angel didn't seem innocent enough, or motherly, caring. She had a sort of seductive vibe, so she needed redesigning.
I drew to Sailor Moon for inspiration, as I was thinking who, to me, is most innocent. My child-hood hero, of course!

So, I basically used this pose in my angel design.

Below, after sketching the pose (which I feel needs a re-do, but for the sake of thumbnails and just planning..), I wanted to find suitable hair for an angel.

Above, in the book, the angel has her face covered.

Designing wings, for 3, I took the right wing of 3 and duplicated it. 

 Dropping her into a very roughly sketched background.. It's pretty much the same as last design. I feel this set needs to be revised, but I'm running out of time, and there are more neglected scenes.

With quick shading and tones added

I feel the colours above are most successful but least true to the book. 

And, of course, this is most true to the book, but least successful. It is too dim. The light needs to be more blue and more vibrant. 

Still hitting my head against the wall for ideas regarding the magical fire scene!

Unit 1 Space and Environment: Thumbnails

Above is a drawing for the angel, an idea of a more elegant pose. But I feel it is now too seductive. In 1, I felt her wings were too small so I resized them in 2. 3 I forgot the veil in the book, so I added it. In 4 I re drew her hair to try and look more womanly rather than game-chick, but, I think the pose will just need a total remake.

Steps for putting her into a scene.

Added some tone

Some colour variants. I am enjoying the 3rd.

I am struggling with the cave scene with the fire. I drew this today, but totally forgot the fire is supposed to be accessible for walking in, and I drew it in some sort of dish, so this will need a total re design, too!

May be hard to notice but one is slightly more purple. I wasn't really "feeling" this picture, as you can see!!

CGI Artist's ToolKit: Photoshop Lesson 3

Today in our photoshop lesson we were taught how to create interesting textures and use the perception transforrm tool.

Enjoying using photoshop though I still don't know how to use most of the basic tools, yet!

 

CGI Artist's ToolKit: photoshop

This was our second lesson in photoshop. I had lost my previous work due to not saving it properly, sigh. This lesson i didn't have a tablet, so was using mouse, but we were loosing at creating perspective and scenes using the lasso tool, and filling in to create interesting shapes.

Above is with an added pink lighting. i like this affect, but don't know if i prefer it to below.

Unit 1 Cinematic Spaces: Thumbnails

Here are a few more thumbnails I produced on Photoshop. I've been struggling with the programme and been finding it difficult to produce work that doesn't look flat, as well as using the tablet, but progress is being made, at least.

Scene one, the city of Kor. 

Using this colour scheme:

Here are coloured versions of this piece

3

I like 3 the most so far.

Here is the scene inside the cave. I don't think the colours here show the atmosphere of the scene, but here you can see I have discovered a better brush to use. =) Here I got very cartoony with the style, a bad habit.
