Narrative Scene 1 WIP-3

The colored clock tower. Instead of making line works of the other narrative scenes this weekend, I wanted to make this first scene determine the tone for the rest of my images. In this scene, I've used the pen tool to create my image to reflect that clean orderly design of the light world, but I may not use it so much while creating the alternate world.

I may move on to the other background scenes or try to figure out how my characters are going to react to this design.

Narrative Scene 1 WIP-2

The clock tower in line work. I'll be adding colors next and then the characters.

Character Line Adjustments

 I think what I have in mind for this project versus what everyone else is thinking, isn't connecting. It seems that I'm looking to have more simple and animated characters for this project while some are looking for more realistic bodies to shade. I'm not sure I have much time to get really fancy with my figures.

I made a quick sketch of these two and didn't try to apply any style, but I'm not real fond of this much detail in the line work. I threw on some shading for a better sense of what I'm visualizing, but I thought I was giving more of a three-dimensional feel to my environment and the characters would be slightly flatter.

 It was suggested to me that the darkness of the line could be affecting their design and so I've lightened it to a dark grey with a Hard Light effect.

Tried to simplify the heads from the design above. This bland lighting is terrible, so I'm going to move on with my environments and put the characters in later.

Narrative: Looking to the Clock tower- WIP

What I've been working on all week. I'm almost done fiddling with the perspective on the tower with some edits that need to be made. The characters are posing a problem.

Character Subtitute Sketches

Trying to keep on track with what I'm doing each class.

I'm finding it hard to sketch this style on the tablet, so I've drawn each character's scene by hand to speed up the process and move on to the line work.

Modified Character Design

I spent most of my Saturday and Friday redesigning the style of my main characters for my narrative. Jenny's line thickness is a bit much, so I will be leaning more towards Alexander's line thickness since I'll be adding color and shading to their forms.

Dark Clock Tower

The dark world clock tower design. Snakes wind around the body of the structure. Their heads hold orbs that light the entryway.
