Project 5- Final Cover and References

 After thinking about what I wanted to do for the cover I remembered a magazine I used to collect before it went fully digital called Shonen Jump, a publisher for manga. I used the newer cover style and tried to replicate it, making a concept for a fencing manga. The words behind the figure is the title of the manga, which say's "Pret Allez" which is a fencing term meaning "ready fence." I also split the diagonal line that the words sit on into different sections resembling a fencing strip where a bout takes place.

Project 5- Concepts and Iterations

 These are sketches I did for the sequential narrative project, I was thinking about doin a short comic. Instead I went with an animation. Since I had these left over, I thought about making a comic book cover. The thumbnails were my process of drawing members of the fencing team in their "signature" poses. I used these as the base concept for my final comic cover.

Project 2- Destroying the Icons Final

 I kind of went one track with this project, getting focused on this specific set of iterations. I think, if I were to go back, I would start form scratch and try out other directions.

Project 1- Fantasy Appliance More Progress Work

 

Project 1- Fantasy Appliance in Progress Cont.

 

I have made a few edits to the design, trying to push the smoke stacks into the background using lighter colors, as well as adding some more bubbles and a fish carcass.

Project 1- Fantasy Appliance in Progress

 Here I am trying to evoke different imagery of oil, or things related to oil. The background is two transparent layers, one is oil filled water and the other is a fire.

Project 1- Fantasy Appliance Sketch

 

So far I am trying to connect three different ideas. 

The vintage leather press, old hand water pumps, and oil rigs.
