Color studies

Some studies of the color palette in order to balance the elements on the scene.

The studies go for a monochromatic look with analogous colors, but in some cases I added a complimentary color to create the contrast and focus the attention to the flower.

In the color study there are only plane colors, no lights or even shade, the purpose is to decide in the overall look, but the final result with lights and shaders is going to be very different.

Mood Board... Last one!

Made together with Isabel, we have the final official mood board! This is a summary of all of the things we are referencing from up until now.

Environments Inside House 'Mood Board'

I thought this might help with creating our rooms. Here are some environments from the game Amnesia. The environments really have an atmosphere about them and use lighting really well. In fact the lighting is really important in achieving the right atmosphere for the game. I'm not saying that we should make old style furniture (the game is set in the 1800's!) but we should aim to recreate the empty, lonely feeling you get from these rooms. 

Aaaaand here's some concept art from Up, the indoors of the house (sorry bout the poor quality! I'll try n get better quality pics or bring the book in...).

Tangled (I think I will try and find more concept art, good example of a small room):

Storyboard/animatic

Rough storyboards set out for the rethought script. This is the storyboards compiled, to be further developed as I create future animatics.

Light & Concept Art

I started working on the light and different concept approaches to visualize the story better, giving special attention to the light and the shadows casted by the sun.

I mixed different techniques to experiment and see which style could we could go for the story, without limitations.

 First Concept: Illustrated style and highly detailed, with traditional techniques.

Second Concept: blue & purple colors, with stylized trees.

Third Concept: Stylized and sharp edges with pastel palette and red.

I found this to be a good reference for mood and lighting and story.
