Evaluation

I believe this is one of my best topic so far with the amount of work to the quality, the use of different style and techniques I've used with the comes and workshop I've made. I had help finding the different styles and deigns to look at for a lot of posts. this allowed me to widen my creative thoughts to creates a lot of my creations, to my sword, to the first silhouette drawing, to my character workshop and book cover.

I believe I could improve on my fine lining skill so the line are more contuse the short and sloppy. I think I should improve on my tonal work and look at different artist that work in black and white to see how they use tonal in they’re work. ill be getting a drawing tablet later this year which will allow me to improve photoshop skill and drawing in general. I think I need to improve on the prevention of my worksheets and need to do more workshops.....

I need to screen shot more!!!!

final outcome and reflection

This was the hardest thing for me to do for I haven't really done many backgrounds. At first I just added the fog but then it look wrong. I got told to try to add the background first which made it easier. I use the lasso tool to hake the shape then the fill tool to give it colour. I made the bace background a pale blue then added grey and black objects to give it detail. I began to add the fog and use the eraser tool with a soft brush to fade the fog.

I then desired to make this into my book cover after I made the finished piece. at first I added one other creature in to the image.it took me a while to come up with the name of the book but I finally decided with “a shadow of untold darkness” after woulds I had to come up with a small short description about the story. At first it was “a tyrant cloaked in shadow” but I changed it to “a story of a tyrannical figure cloaked in shadow” this gave the book a scene mysterious and curiosity. It would bring reader in for the vagueness and would allow they're curiosity drive to read this story.

Finished book cover

The cover took me a while to get right because at first it was a landscape image which didn't look right when the spine was added. The character’s arm was inside the spine so I moved the image getting the whole character in frame. 

The next step was to give the a title I went with “A Shadow of untold Darkness”. I added to my back the book title and quote on it and gave it a book number.

The idea behind the book is that there is a figure tat is cloaked in shadow that can shape shift into different dark creatures. The tale goes through a cove where shadowy characters follow two friend through a dark forest and cave to finally run into this dark figure that shows its true form.

While creating this character I had trouble with making him look some what human. at first I duplicated his arm and turned down the opacity. But It didn't look right so I deleted it and redrew it stretched out more. 

The way I made the back spikes an image of some curled spike then painted them black. The head I made using the head I made the day before. the head is bace off a blind demon.

a book cover idea--

this was the hardest thing for me to do for I haven't really done many backgrounds. at first I just added the fog but then it look wrong. I got told to try to add the background first which made it easier.

I use the lasso tool to hake the shape then the fill tool to give it colour. I made the bace background a pale blue then added grey and black objects to give it detail. I began to add the fog and use the eraser tool with a soft brush to fade the fog.

when I added the character I had him resized and began to add fog around them to give depth. I gave the rest scene detail with sludges and a cluster of straight lines. this when I looked at hiding one of my fog layers and looked at changing my character arm. then looked at changing the mode of the layer to give it a different look and in my opinion it looks better.

character worksheet-2

The character on the left is the head fo a blind demon that looks a lot like a “infuriate form fire force” the horn I didn't like that much so next to it I made a second set fo horns that look a lot better. I’ll probably use this a template for my book cover creature.

The second character is a knight wearing a tattered scarf I did have they’re face showing but I thought making It look like a dark figure in this aroma would be look better. I took ideas from character concept art such as the top half of the beak being a added detail. I made the helmet look like it was more like a heavenly plated helm. the scarf was added as an experiment to see If it look right.

character worksheet-1

I made these two character with some sort of armour on. I had a look at some silhouette and some armour from monster hunter.

The character on the left was at fist going to be a monster with its mouth open but then I made I viser of a helmet. I gave hime a fur jacket with plated shoulders pads. 

The character on the right was made using a character I made in photoshop then gave him some horn/ears and a main. I didn't have any idea how this character would look like so I was more experimenting with different looks hence the fur and scratched  plating and full colour face.
