Final Progression

Final Project: Progress Blog 11 13

 Here are some images from the operation panel of my demented brain surgery scene. I think this scene is going to be the most difficult to illustrate because of the sheer amount of content within this one shot. It's an establishing shot from the doorway of the operating room. I want to embody the true creepiness I desire within this one panel.

Progress 

Here are three pieces of my final project that will eventually be put together in a graphic novel style storyboard. Each of these features an image from a different panel. I'll finish with 6 panels total and am working on all of them simultaneously. Recently I decided to only work in black and white. I'm choosing this color selection as a tribute to the graphic novels that inspired me to even pursue this project.

Storyboard Narrative (description)

For my final project I'd like to effectively create a storyboard that outlines a horror story. The scene is meant to evoke a menacing, dark, and terrible cloud of despair into the hearts of those who view it. This piece will focus on an abandoned mental hospital that has been converted into a twisted sort of fusion between science and torture.

Blood and gore are awesome and I've always been drawn to the ways that death and mutilation are displayed in graphic novels. I'd like to emulate a black and white, very grisly and untamed, graphic novel type illustration. Definitely black and white, but along the way I may feel the need to include red for the blood.

I'll be using a fusion of hand sketches, adobe illustrator shapes, and photoshop edits for the construction of my storyboard. My challenge will be creating a uniform style between all the frames. I believe I have internalized each frame as a different piece and so stringing the mood of the entire piece together will require some attention to detail.

Just me messing around with the infamous Jack Nicholson. 

progress blog. rough storyboard for final project proposal.

So, I've got this rough sketch of a storyboard that I want to use as the basis for my final project. The storyboard is a six panel display of an eerie brain surgery/ brain extraction. Each panel is meant to progress the story from introduction of the setting, to the final image of the extracted brain on the table.

After seeing what I have created.....I think I need some counseling.

ITERATIONS . MANIPULATION . CREATION .

Real proud of these. Each of them possess multiple requirements for the iterations we were required to make. Now that I actually have something to critique, I would most definitely appreciate any feedback. 

Illustrator skills improved. Creativity expanded. Progress.

Surface Level

On an every day level art and design can have an overwhelming presence within our regular lives. Much of the however meaningless art there is out there in our world there was still ultimately an intelligent actor behind the design. While I am not readily attached to the themes and elements of the designs on the drinks in a convenience store, I may pay particular attention to the colors of my favorite. 

In my adult life, I have made it a goal of mine to notice the intricacies of every day art that we see. The examples are numerous and possibilities limitless. I actively pay particular attention to the way a title accents a product or how the overall theme of the signage compliments the products' overall character. At the same time however, I recognize that there exists much advertising and marketing that lacks creativity and is presented in a fashion that is merely surface level.
