3 Scenarios and Short Story

Part 3: Events/Scenarios

Scenario 1:

The character spots a pest in their favourite place and tries their best to get rid of it.

Scenario 2:

The character loses their travelling pass when rushing to their closest public transportation spot.

Scenario 3:

The character walked around a forest and stepped on sinking mud, resulting in losing their shoes.

Part 4: Short Story

Greta is hiking around a forest which is rumoured to have a supernatural entity roaming around the premises during the late midnight. She is very excited to catch this entity on camera but she is walking very slowly due to the equipment she is carrying. Greta finally saw a good place to set up her tent but as she was hiking, she felt like the ground was dragging her down and it turns out that it was mud. She tried her best to pull her feet out but her backpack is making her movements sluggish. She removed her backpack but it was too late, she had already sunk pretty deep. Greta got really frustrated and grabbed hold of the ground and pulled her feet as hard as she could. She managed to get out of the predicament but she lost her shoes and even her socks. Greta was furious but she calmed down and told herself that the ghost sighting will be worth it. So, she reached the spot and placed her tent to get ready for the paranormal activities to happen but in the end, the rumour was proven to be false.

Here are my 3 background sketches and the photos based on my drawings. Although the 2 other backgrounds are in a different style, I somehow like how it turned out as I was trying to draw backgrounds in a new way.

Here is my third character and its inspiration. The original source is much more abstract but I saw a face, some sunflowers and it’s wear some frills, so I turned that painting into a shy florist that really like flowers. I looked into some florist’s clothes to make it modern.

Here is my second character who is based on a painting from the 1645/1675 called “Girl with an Oil Lamp at a Window” by Gerrit Dou. The clothes the woman is wearing in the original source looks modern as I saw some women still wear similar clothes to this day and the odd lit figure behind her made me think that this person would be interested in the paranormal in the modern world.

Here is my inspiration for my first character who is based on a Tang dynasty sculpture called “Seated Court Lady.” I looked into elder Chinese women and Han Qiaoni’s look stuck with me that I made my character wear the clothes she is wearing instead of her generic festival clothes but in the end, I decided to go for her first outfit.

This is a study I did in my spare time from an anatomy book I bought a year ago. I really like this piece.

Here is a sketch I did for a challenge that I was really proud of but I didn’t finish it on time and I was focused with other university projects, so I didn’t finish this image.

Here is some personal art I did. I drew some of my classmates in modern Japanese clothes, I’m still yet to draw everyone but I like how some of these turn out.

Here is my finalised animation for 1 minute film. I coloured everything and changed some scenes to make the continuous flow more apparent with the monkey but I didn’t change the appearance of the fruit.

The fruit is staying as scribbles because I don’t think a placement fruit like an apple will sit well with my narrative and idea for the animation.

I also added an impromptu title around the start of my animation because I was lacking a title card as well.

250 Word Reflection:

This entire project is a struggle for me because I have never done a fully coloured animation in my previous projects, so I thought that I didn’t have enough willpower to finish everything off but I was proud to say that I managed to get all the base colour in for my animation, although it made me lose about 5 days of sleep in total. I was initially happy with my concept designs, especially with my characters but as more briefs come in, I felt that my designs look bland, so I think I am going to change up my style for my next big project next year. I struggled with my environment designs the most because my perspective drawing skills and composition are horrible. So I tried to make up for it by making a 3D environment with Blender and going over it with line on TVPaint and CLIP Studio Paint. I am really proud of the feedback when I got it during the crit and when I’m done with my coloured animation, although I think I could do better with my animation in general. There are some feedbacks that I could still improve for my animation but I am not really that proud of my animation nor the story for it because I didn’t like the execution of my animation and the grandmother in the animation had passed away which made me somewhat upset because I really wanted to ace this animation just to honour the memory but in the end, I don’t know what to think about this. Next time, I am going to explore a new art style and possibly a new storyline in the future.
