Light



There are multiple sources of light in the image - but the two primary ones are the volcano underneath the dragon and the sunlight from behind. Due to the sources being in the center and background of the image, the foreground of the image is naturally dark, as not much if any at all light is affecting it. The volcanic light source coming from underneath the dragon gives the beast an ominous look in a similar way that light is shone to a persons face underneath them when telling frightening stories.



There is one primary light source in this image, and that is the sunlight out of frame. Due to this strong sunlight, it casts strong direct shadows all throughout the image. Along with that, there is some refractive light from the water below the bridge, giving the bride a blueish hue in some parts. While this refraction is not entirely accurate to real life, it still gives the desired effect of adding some variety to the dark beige that is the bridge.

After landing and fighting through a variety of forces, the player discovers that the one leading the assault is on a large ship. 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...
