Week 2 A

After I received feedback on my initial sketches, I was informed that lightning bug was not a compound word. After realizing this I decided to pick a word from the list this time. I decided to choose finger food because I immediately thought of an idea. A couple ideas I have for this word is to have a french fry container filled with fingers instead of the fries or have a big guy sitting at a table about to feast on human fingers instead of real food. I am thinking about going with the french fry container and having the style be vintage/retro. I want it to be grimy and dirty looking because I fell that it fits the disgusting nature of eating human fingers. I also want it to be illustrated on a sign that advertises this hot new food item.  Below are some of the sketches that I drew up and an example of the retro sign that I want to put the illustration on.

Week 10 B

 I have decided to change up the design style up just a bit to ensure cohesiveness with my gif. I have changed the style of the ghosts. Instead of having them drawn in the sketchy chalk style, I had made it a flat ink white style using the gel ink brush in procreate. I felt that the stark difference between the sketchy style and the bright smooth fire style made it look a little off. These changes make the piece look more cohesive and I believe that it looks and works better. This was a great exorcise for me because I love animation. Anything animation related is my go to and I hope more projects can have some kind of motion or animating to them in the future. Below is my final gif and time lapse. it is consisted of 20 frames.

Week 10 A

  For this week we have to create an animated gif. We can choose any topic we want and since it's Halloween season, I have decided to turn a portion of my latest illustration into an animated gif. found below you can see my progress so far. Basically I took the soul ball and animated it by having ghosts or soul floating up towards the top of the flaming soul ball/orb. Ever since I was illustrating this, I always imagined it being animates. Now I can make that a reality.

 Final project UPDATED SUBMISSION  To reiterate my thought process for this project, I wanted to do something more abstract instead of a more literal connection to the article. I wanted to illustrate the overall motive and goal of the man in the article. His whole goal year after year is to get the chance to scare some kids on Halloween. I wanted to illustrate his goal finally becoming a reality by illustrating a spooky skeleton hand holding the souls of the trick or treaters he finally scared straight. One last minute change I made was to add masks to the ghosts to add another connection to the article and that this year if Halloween isn't canceled, most kids will probably be wearing some kind of mask under their costume.      This project was a fun experiment for me. This was the first time I had done a project in procreate and it definitely won't be the last. Procreate is an amazing program with so many options for brushes which is what allowed me to experiment with this pro
