YR12 CMP (2023)

The brief: to create art depicting an epic journey, involving one character or more.

For mine, I decided to reuse my character from games design as I had grown attached to them. But to spice things up I gave her a redesign, trying to make it a little more practical for an adventure. I also added another character for fun. I decided to make them both black as I feel like you don't really see black fantasy characters often and did research to see that they were done right and my audience liked them. In each of the drawings I tried to have a story showing the two characters becoming closer overtime - starting the journey as kind of strangers or rivals and ending up friends. 

 

I honestly don't feel that I did a good part on that though, as I couldn't really decide what I wanted to do, resulting in the story being extremely vague, if really understandable at all. I think this was because this was the final project of the year so my nerves got to me a bit. Overall, I think it could have been a bit more exciting. I also wish I had managed to keep the artstyle consistent by sticking to one drawing program rather than being stubborn and switching between two. (FireAlpaca and Photoshop) One last thing I feel could have been better were the backgrounds. It's something I want to practice more.
