Knight Ret and the Catgon: Initial Concept
This is a simple yet heroic tale of a Rat who is an outcast knight who seeks the evil creature Catgon, who held his kingdom's beloved Princess Elephia captive when there is no hope in sight. It is all for his beloved princess...
This entire concept is actually made into a production bible for my story boarding module. Although... honestly to say, i did not learn much except for just producing storyboard with stories. (very little about compositions and all, which makes me glad that at this last year, i got Han Bacher's Illustration for designers to understand more about good compositions and story boarding. )
I learn a lot doing this at that time, and it is something new at that point of my year. After showing Hans this bible, with him pointing out the good and the bad (mostly *laugh*) of my designs and compositions, there is still much to understand in visual development and even character designing and development, but still, this production bible is a stepping stone from that time to go in the direction of the visual development + storyboarding. Makes me fall in love with storytelling again. :)
But as what Hans say, before you even go to storyboards, one should settle the styles and designs in Pre-production. If not the whole process is useless.
At 5 years from now, when i look back to the earlier posts, i want to be able to say "Hey, i have improved and will grow even more as an artist."
Well, i will be showing some of the initial concepts. Here goes:
Knight Ret
Princess Elephia
Well, Elephia took a longer time to design, especially since i fixed Ret's look first. Hans says the final look is still bland in silhouette and style, but i learn from it TT and to push silhouettes and shapes in my future designs.
Catgon
Mouse King and Queen
