Senior Project - More Color Studies

These are getting a bit better. They still need work.

Senior Project - Developing Buildings

Here is my process for developing the background buildings so far. This will be more refined as the designs become final. But I thought I'd share how I've been creating these buildings, perhaps mostly as a way to keep track of it myself.
Try to ignore perspecive issues; this was done quickly and freehand. This is just a basic setup.

This process could also work for a row of buildings, where the design of one building flows into the next.

Senior Project - Color Studies

I did 15 color studies for far for the background, and these are the better ones. None of them are giving me the mood I'm going for, though.

Strangely, or perhaps obviously, I like some of them better when there is a character within the frame. This is a somewhat more accurate representation of the final look (though without anything being final).

What I really need to work on with these now is leading the eye using tonal value.

Senior Project - Rough Environment Concepts

Senior Project - Rough Storyboard

Here is a rough pass at the story. Still in progress, of course.

Senior Project - Character Designs

I'm revising an earlier character to star in my upcoming senior film. So I was doing some designs to try and discover how she should look. It's still in progress; I haven't locked down the proportions yet.

Sketchbook - Building Design

I was having problems designing the city for my upcoming senior film, so I decided to do some quick sketches of real buildings that matched the style I was going for. I'm liking the sail shapes and arched entrances.
