The Beginning of Time

Start

So here we are, 2 weeks into uni and i thought i should start my blog!
lots of things to post and keep everyone up to date on, received a lot of useful tips and tricks from a few lectures and group crits!, tutors are awesome and the course so far is absolutely baller!



First Project

                                             The TinderBox by Hans Christian Andersen

Our task was to read the above story, and to come up with 2 final pieces 1 environment and 2 environment with an inserted character, our process is to go from silhouettes, to then iterate our chosen silhouettes and apply further detail.

For the environments we need 4 thumbnails 500x250 pixels and 4 color studies of the same size, and the two final pieces 1 environment 1 environment with the character somewhere in it.




Research


My character being one of the dogs (gold) i chose to do a Georgian Era highwayman, the elegance and mystique really drew me to them, my characters back story is mainly the highwayman after being saved by the soldier from the clutches of the evil witch is now indebted to him for saving his life, so the highwayman comes to the aid of the soldier whenever he calls!

here is some image reference from my research

I always researched on standard Georgian Era clothing to get an over all feel of what the fashion was like back then (an i was quite pleased to find out pirates were around during that time!)

so thats that for now, Sil's and Iteration to follow!
