Week 11 A

 This week we were given our last assignment which is to either create a children's story book or to create a mythical/monster illustration. Right of the bat I know I am doing the mythical/monster illustration because that falls into my interests more than a children's book. Another reason is because part of the assignment is to animate it and that is what I am most interested in. My initial ideas for my mythical beast are as follows:

  • Vampire
  • Werewolf
  • Minotaur
  • Serpent
  • Giant snake
  • Centaur
Right now I want to narrow down my ideas and begin researching on the creature I want to create. I do not know what I want to do yet, but my first though was a snake like serpent creature that is half human half serpent. Almost like a Naga, but slightly different.

here is picture illustrating what a Naga is. I would like to incorporate the human aspect to it as well to give it that mythical creature aspect to it.

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.

  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
