Week 11 – Return to the Moon


I was still trying to work with Mary Blair’s style, though I feel my original sea palace came out a lot better as it’s more textured and raw, giving more mood and atmosphere than the sky palace. Also the styles are slightly different and I think the sky palace would look better with a bit more painterly texture, and perhaps with the clouds being more blocky and less translucent like Mary Blair’s clouds. That said, I think the Palace did come out well and I really like the moon shapes and definitely makes it looks more space like.



I really like Mary Blair's style, but to imitate it was actually much harder than I thought as there is no out-line work, and everything is more focusing on block colours and shapes to produce details and form, so i took away all the out-line work.

 I feel my test shot could have been a lot stronger if I had given myself more time, as I did it in after effects I struggled to get the fluidity of water and because I’m new to the puppet tool, also the fluidity of the dancer given more time I would have refined the test shot more or maybe even done it in TVPaint instead. I put a simple melody to the test shot just to help it come to life a bit more which I think worked well.

Horseplay Inspirational mood boards, researching the style and look i want to have for the setting and people. I found my self being particularly inspired by the new yorker front covers, as i like the quirkiness and style of the caricatures and the visual story telling. I found my self looking at lots of children story book artists, i found i enjoyed the ones with patterns, and minimal line art. Using the mood boards for inspiration, to find my own look from their inspiration.  Working over my sketches with Posca pens, using my fingers to mix the paint while wet, to get a watercolour painted look. working out lady Gertrude's look and Gary's head. My attempt at making a story board, for the first scene.  i think i need to add more to it to...

Week 3 – The Paranoid Goat Sketches & Mood Board

We had a writing workshop where my group was given cards to create a story from.  This was the first story idea I wrote: Synopsis: A young girl befriends a troubled old magician and helps him work through his depression through the power of their friendship. One year, a magician named Desmond visits a town where a young girl named Skye lives. Skye has been looking forward to the upcoming fayre for months, and seeing Desmond practicing his magic tricks at the local inn, she realises that the magician is unhappy. The other children are amazed by the magic tricks but are too scared of Desmond to go near him. Although she knows not to talk to strangers, Skye plucks up the courage to begin talking to Desmond, who at first tries to ignore her, but then teaches her a simple trick in an attempt to satisfy her: making a handkerchief vanish up his sleeve. Skye notices the handkerchief is old and tattered, so she goes home and cuts a square off her favourite blanket to give to hi...
