Design 2

Teacher: Lawrence Marvit
Week 2

Another intense week of design work is now over, and I'm very happy to see progress from last time. We got 3 different and challenging assignments, all to be rendered in black and white, and I enjoyed them all very much.

Weapon of Atlantis:
Here I made a dead shark that can shoot jellyfish.

Dead Pirates in Venice:
I wanted a dark and threatening atmosphere, so then I made the pirates lurk in the shadows.

Fairy City:
I designed a more wild-looking kind of fairies, and their homes.

Design and construction

Assignment from the design week. Our task was to create an environment with a character, and the subject was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. We were allowed to use black, white and 2 shades of gray. The goal was to use the design elements we had learned that week to create a spesific mood in the picture. It took about a day to complete.

 

Completed: September 28, 2012.

 

The next piece is from the second week, where we had construction and rendering. Again the task was to create an environment, and we were encouraged to use a lot of perspective. I created a morbid Gargoyle Temple that is being visited by a group of happy Japanese tourists, and I had a lot of fun playing around with the contrasting themes. Finished in about 2 days.

 

Completed: October 5, 2012.
