Rough storyboard

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.

Character descriptions + plot details

  Character Descriptions Eva Lazy, overconfident and eager to impress. Eva attempts to find the humor in most situations however often not realizing the gravity of the situation often leaves those around her with a bitter taste in their mouths. While her skill in combat is impressive and maybe even rivals her master, her attitude towards training and her overall dependence on weapons leaves her defenseless when she's ever disarmed. Eva must learn to be humble and depend on herself rather than using the weapons to fight for her she must instead use them as an extension of herself. Her over confident nature stems from her own insecurities she wants to impress those around her, she believes she was born gifted it’s a waste of her talents   to trains as she's naturally gifted at using firearms and guns, whenever she becomes disarmed from her weapons this façade shatters as without her weapons she is nothing but a scared little kid. Eva is constantly trying to prove herself to ...

Storyboarding

 Poster criticism -Adjust the color of the logline, its hard to read. Maybe making the color a green to contrast with the brown. -The rating should be a little smaller and maybe the color should be adjusted as the red is a bit to much. When I get home after class I will adjust these in my poster. Homework Storyboard 12 key shots of script.

Logline and project planning

 Creating a Logline  A logline is a brief summary of the story that hooks in the reader and describes the central conflict with the story. Below is a logline that I cam up with for the game I will be creating artwork for in my digital project. On the cusp of death Eva is saved by a mysterious stranger she finds herself entering a conspiracy she never wanted to be apart off. I think this logline describes the game perfectly and the events leading up to the conflict, it clearly states the main character and hints that they are getting tangled up in something conspiratorial whether that be political, social or a physical the viewer is engaged to find out. Planning and character Bios/Locations The two characters I will be creating are Eva and the stranger who saves Eva from a demon. While Evas name is known the strangers will remain unknown. The locations I will be creating are the interior of the academy where Eva lives and studies, the outside of the academy and the interior cit...

Cover Art

  Below are some of the thumbnail sketches I've done deciding on what I want my poster to look like. When designing my poster I thought about what kind of message am I sending with my Animatic? Who are the characters? and what I can do to create some tension and intrigue, that when someone sees this poster they're gonna be interested and engaged.  When looking at a lot of posters and cover art for comics, video games and movies just feature the character in an action pose or particularly with comics the character might be doing something within a scene or the artwork might be heavily stylized in comparison to the actual art within the comic.  Within my designs I wanted to showcase what the story is and what its about and the character so within these thumbnail sketches I choose to to further develop and add some color to and refine a bit more. The first one was just a basic cover of the character sitting a very traditional cover for a cover/poster. Within the poster it sh...

Finalizing Proposal

Image
 The Digital proposal is due this Friday at 5:00pm. Today I began finalizing my proposal in photoshop to make it look pretty and appealing. I still have some small cosmetic details to add such as adding in some of my style tests and images on the pages so people have a visual to look to when they're reading all the information. Below are some example of what the proposal will look like. Some of the pages look quite empty so I will be adding images to make it more interesting.
