I decided I wanted the diorama to look more 3D but I also wanted to take advantage of the lighting still so I continued using masking tape and creating shapes.
I started off with these two sketches, mainly just trying to set up a scene. The second sketch is drawn from a scene in ‘Spider-Man into the Spider Verse’ which seems odd but I realised it was exactly what I was thinking!
I tried my hand at a coloured digital sketch! I was trying to practice a bit at proportion. I also planned on doing a short animation!
I came to my idea pretty quickly because I had an idea of what I wanted to do, so ended up with a pretty brief brainstorm.
I ended up going with the mythology route cause it holds a big interest for me and the myth I choose is The Story of Icarus as it is one of my favourite ones.
I’m pretty happy with the direction I’ve chosen because I feel like there’s a lot I can do!
Some concept art I have of how I planned to bring my fighting theme into my fashion elective! I wanted to show a contrast of typical high fashion drawings, with figures that have elongated proportions and such, wearing DnD style armour.
I also would’ve liked to show this contrast in the opposite way given more time, such as a figure fighting in something considered high fashion.
Animation 4/4 - This is again another storyboard I started for 2 figures fighting. I found it a lot of fun trying to figure out how the figures would move!
Animation 3/4 - This is basically just the beginnings of trying to block in a figure for the last animation. You might recognise the character from some of my concept art!
Animation 2/4 - This was a storyboard I did of someone sliding into frame after being hit then coming to a rest. I spent a lot of this one also just learning the program and such!
Animation 1/4 - This was the first animation I did on Krita so I could get used to how the program works! Just a positively rotund cat moving it’s tail.
For my movement project, I started by brainstorming ideas around movement. The ideas that appealed to me the most were about motion, action, expression and storytelling. I developed my motion idea into fighting. My interest in DnD, dungeons and dragons - a rolepaying fantasy game, allowed me to explore a bit of my storytelling idea in my fighting theme. I developed my fighting theme in my electives through animations of two figures fighting, fashion drawings of high fashion with a theme of armour and sculptures of clay armour pieces.
Some concept art and movement sketches for my project. I had a lot of trial and error with figuring out how to draw figures doing certain movements, so I did these sketches to understand perspective and proportions.
