Back to class

 Looking at my poster from a distance I noticed that the colors look a lot more vibrant than they originally were on the monitor. They look a lot better and I think in future I may print out pictures of my work to see how they would look physically.

If I was to redo the poster I would adjust the font and the color of the rating as I think it clashes with the artwork a lot, making the text difficult to read.  One thing I would like to try next time I make a poster is try a different art style one that is flat and more reminiscent of the animation with my project, however I am much more familiar with a painterly style which makes it alot easier for me to do, which is why I should be trying to a much more flat style.

Backgrounds - The City

Image
  One of the environments that's featured within the animation is the city (Can't really think of a name for it so I'll just call it the city for the time being) this is the main capital and headquarters for the academy which have smaller locations across the country. I wanted to give the city a design that showcased the modern with fantasy elements with a heavy use of stone and brick within there architecture with 21st century lamps. I also wanted to design the backstreets of this city. While many species live within the city those who don't fit within the mold are often segregated to the backstreets of the city which the academy  offer little to no protection to those who aren't human, or human like (for example elves and dwarfs).  Many rogue demons and monsters use these backstreets as a hunting ground as many don't seem to care what happens to those living within the backstreets. Within the story Eva wanders into the backstreets without realizing as she neve...

Finalizing character designs

Character design  I started to finalize the main character Alice's design, going over some of the earlier sketches and adding some color to get a feel on what kind of colors I want her to wear. I've started trialing colors and really like the blue and green, its very dull and meek which would fit her character perfectly. I've also trialed some hair colors and skin tones because I want her to appear frail I think I might giver her a very pale skin tone to help accentuate that. I've started working on the rough design and really like the look of it the baggy attire and kept back hair gives her the appearances of a shy goody toe shoes, in the sense that she always firmly follows the rules not one hair out of place. As the design progressed not much changed from the original except for her face which I altered taking away any of the sharpness giving it a more bubbly look and shrinking the height of her head  slightly and making sure her hair was kept tightly beneath her hea...

Storyboard

Image
 After looking at my storyboard I've come to realize its very very long with around 100 thumbnails. When I bring this over to my book I will need to look at cutting down some of the thumbnails as there won't be enough space to fit them all within the book.  What I have decided to storyboard is one of the first cutscenes of the game. Eva tries escaping the academy for the night however is quickly caught, with her last resort being to throw herself out the window to get away from the guards chasing her, after mocking the guards from her safe spot she quickly runs towards the city eventually making her way towards the slums, the known home of the demon that's been terrorizing the city. Wandering the alleyways she begins to detect a presence and ends up coming to a dead end with the creature close behind her before it can grab a hold of her she cuts of its hand with her sword she quickly cuts of the creatures right arm, thinking she's got the creature cornered she smugly le...
