Colour



This concept art of a burning village has a distinct orange hue to it - both from the fire itself and the light the fire emits, which causes the sky to become a shade of orange. This, coupled with the natural hues of the ground and village, causes the image to give a feel that this fire is invading the village - which is accurate as to what fire would do.


This image has a strong collection of blues and greens - both colours commonly found in nature. That, coupled with the subject of the image, creates a very natural, open, away-from civilization feel. If the hue of the image was shifted to a reddish theme, it would completely change the feel of the image to a more violent tone. Having the shades of blue and green denote a calm, natural feeling, which is what this image achieves.

After encountering the main villain, the player is defeated, stripped of their powers and left for dead. Afterwards, the player leaves to retrieve their powers and figure out a way to defeat the main villain, which they do, ...

Week 8

Image
For the final week, I only did a couple of things. This is where I started worrying about the work I needed to produce (not just artwork, but also journal work, which I hadn't been keeping up with), and started thinking about extensions. However, while worrying about that, I did manage to do some work, and wasn't absolutely horribly behind like I usually am. I created a little drawing deciding on the back of the character, where I imagined her having spider legs being able to protrude from her back. Along with that, I also created the start of the model sheet (the front view) and the character sheet drawings. Design Doll was heavily useful for this, especially with the Character Sheet, as i wouldn't be able to do anything as interesting in terms of poses without the use of the software. However, this was when I realised I was behind. It may not seem like it from this journal, but I had done no journal work and barely any of the tasks or essay. Because of that, I ha...
