Developing my character designs into animation using Photoshop frame animation. I love how this turned out and want to develop it more!

I scanned my zombie girl sketch into photoshop and experimented with colour, I tried a lue toned pallet, one with deep greens and reds and a rather bright pastel pallet with varying skin tones, I have to say number 3 is my favourite just because it seems more my style and I can play around with coloures more!

an initial sketch and ideas for my character design and animation project 

my theme was a zombie daydreaming in a graveyard

some first idea sketches for my editorial brief.

devopment of my Totem pole concept. I wanted to portray students from different art mediums ; photography, fine art,fashion and games design. I really like the idea of just heads, I need to figure out what I can use for the totem wings, maybe things like paint brushes, cameras, graphics tablets etc.

some little character designs for my ’weirdos’ totem brief. I like the idea of having the characters piggyback each other but I just don't like anything I come up with. I may try using just the faces in this idea.

Here I scanned in and edited my character ideas for my festival poster and layered some colour, I love the third one I think I got the colours the exact way I wanted them as posed to the others.

A quick play around with coloures I did on my Oracle lineart, I think a blue/emerald colour pallet would suit her more?

AMARNA ORACLES

this faction is made up of ethereal characters; seers, elves, rangers and anthropomorphic characters. Led under the watchful eye of Ashara (NPC, Non playable character) and her supreme consorts. This faction uses heavy magic and has a high number or magi characters.

The oracles are a banded encampment of oracles and training priests and magi,inspired by egyptian and romani lore. the people or amarna focus on side quests to the story and focus on developing the magic necessary for larger quests. the Amarna people do not look for fights and only resort to conflict when threatened. a lot of the choices and quests Amarna partake in are decided by the high oracle Ashara (NPC) 

The oracles of amarna are aligned with the sister of etoile and the free folk against house Blackthorn and the devil they shook hands with.

SISTERS OF ETOILE

This faction is heavily inspired by bohemian style, consisting of bards, artisans, weapon craft, dancers and storytellers. This faction is the key to the Blackthorn rebellion. aligning with the Amarna Oracles and the free folk it consists of to fight the elitist rulers.

Full of life and joy this faction is more for beginners to the game and for those looking for a fun time but with implied in game interaction, players can either fight or sit back and relax at a tavern.

HOUSE BLACKTHORN

Made up of Knights, an all female sellsword company, paladins and vampiric characters. House Blackthorn is an elitist house that is ruled by the matriarch, the vampiric NPC (Non playable character) Countess Bathory. 

This faction is inspired heavily by Elizabethan era and the stories of Elizabeth Bathory. They make their riches through weaponry manufacture and pillaging from other factions.

House Bathory is the current ruling faction and has been for 300 years, (in game) killing and taking what they want in any means to further their houses power. House Blackthorn is aligned with The dark forces of Rokkva in order to gain more advantage over the growing rebellion.

Character design for Rokkva NPC (Non Playable Character) Hel

Rokkva information:

Heavily Norse inspired, Niffleheim. Faction consists of necromancers, Dark Paladins, demonic beasts, orcs and dead warriors. fighters in this faction rely more on magic from their NPC character to give them more power in play.

This faction fights with house in alliance with House Blackthorn for the sake of rebellion. Hela gains more power from warfare and death counts which makes Rokkva itself more powerful.

Although power is promised, Hela is deceitful and cannot be trusted as she helps those to help herself and gain advantages in game.

initial idea pages for my festival poster brief, I wanted to push myself on this prj\oject so I seto to creating my own festival rather than use one that already exists. I decided to go for a Larp (Live Action Roleplay) festival similar to a historical battle re enactment theme.

colour tests for my Cat emojis, I used the initial colours I used in my sketchbook and I love how they turned out in digital form. 

[ratboydraws]

Working on photoshop using frame animation I wanted to see what my emojis would look like if they moved, I used my happy cat emoji and repeated slides to create a little video clip of it moving.

I really love how it turned out I feel like it gives my emojis more life to them, especially since they have different facial expressions I can now emphasise this even more!
