Updated the painting of the tower as well. I had to put more green from the rocks on it, I refined the edges and gave the tower more greenish color.

Time for another update.

I finished the robotversion of Sol and after revision the color of the metal jacket changed and I brought up some highlights to give a more chrome feeling.

The finished version of Sol, the boy character for my final test.
The texturing took a while, but i'm pretty happy with the result.
The colors might still change a bit, but thats for later.
 I'm looking forward to making a mechanic version.

 

A while ago we had to build a maquette of a tower out of foamboard. This is my finished tower, the ball on top of it is supposed to become a crystal, reflecting all light.
Now we have a new assignment and we had to create an environment for the tower to stand in.
With a lot of picture cutting and pasting I created this grayscale concept.
This concept is going to be the basic for a painting we have to make of our tower.

After another revision my teacher changed the values and the colours a bit. The purple bugs where a bit to soft and needed more glow.
I like how the new color key is looking right now.

This is the first textured design for the robot rabbit.
The textures are all going to grayscale and get a uniform color.
But I already like this version as well. It makes me think of a rabbit someone put together out of scrap metal pieces.

 This was a first new design for the rabbit. It was too organic and we wanted to go more to the wooden doll designs like we had for the characters.









So I changed the design and this is what came out of it. The design for the wooden rabbit.

I also tried making a robot version of the rabbit and i thikn it worked out pretty well. If I may believe my classmates at least.

After another revision we went another direction. The director had the idea to make the organic forms of everything more like wooden dolls. Like this we can also see the contrast between the two different worlds better. The organic, wooden world and the mechanical one.

These are the final designs for the wooden dolls of Sol and Luna. Which I personally like a lot.

 After my first design for the main characters fo my school project, my teacher asked me to change the style a bit.
This is what my second attempt was. I made the characters more cartoonish and also drew there robot form. This was already more the way my teacher wanted them to be, but I wasn't really happy with the result yet.



The first picture is Sol, the boy in the story and the second on is Luna, the girl.
I was also asked to make rough sketches of the other pages in my pitchbook.











The action sheet is going to have more rough poses of the characters.
The turnaround was a bit more to the style I wanted to work to.

First ideas of the rabbit and the horse that the characters are going to touch.

First sketches of a tree and flower. It wasn't easy to make a mechanical version of them.

We also have to make 4 color keys and put our main characters on a background.
For the last one I chose the kissing scene in the story.





All of these sketches are still to be worked out and refined.

Update time for my fantasy lizard. After the first thumbnail with tones in grayscale I gave the lizard some details and changed the tones a bit.






Afterwards we had to make a rough color key for our work and this is what i came up with.
I wanted the insects to look bright and collorful because they are supposed to shine brightly, luring the other forrest creatures ( the blue ones) to the big lizard.
I chose for a night scene so the bright insect would stand out.
