Digital Painting: Production Art - Lizard Kiosk

Today in our digital painting class, we did a mini project that involved picking two pieces of paper from a box, one with an object and the other with an animal/plant. We then had to design the object we'd picked, inspired by the animal/plant we'd picked. My object was a kiosk and my animal a lizard. We then had to do research and thumbnails, as seen in the top image, before refining our idea. This is my completed lizard inspired kiosk.

Influence Map for the mountains.

Plants on the mountains. The wood from these is used to make the wooden heart in the temple.

Developing Octavia: Statues in the Temple

Quick designs for the statues in Octavia's temple, which shall be the subject of my interior shot. The idea was that people in Octavia worship the mountains, believing themselves to be dependent on them for survival. The statues stand over an alter in the temple, with the heart suspended between them.

Developing Octavia: Houses and Other Buildings

Some more rough ideas for buildings and structures in Octavia, this time looking at various designs for homes and other buildings. Each building has a firm, wooden base with wooden poles and beams built onto it to create the shape of the building, before a material like sack cloth is fitted over the poles, making a tent-like structure. I still like the idea of the inhabitants of Octavia sewing designs into the cloth, like decorative graffiti on a wall, and I will look more into this idea later.

Developing Octavia: People

A few quick ideas for what the people of Octavia might look like. They might not feature in my project, but it was something on my mind that I wanted to draw out quickly. I like the idea of access to materials for clothes being limited, so large amounts of one material is made or acquired through trade, and distributed to people to do with as they wish. As a result, many people end up wearing the same colours, just worn in different ways.

Life Drawing Edits

During last week's life drawing session, Vicky suggested we edit images of our work in photoshop. Here are a few quick edits I did.
