BUG // 12 Visual Narative Images PART1



 
After producing the 8 images based off my initial illustration, I already had a rough idea on a concept for a short story.  I want to base the story on a 'cliché' love story, however I want to move a few things around...      For example, I want the male character to be the one to write a love letter but in the end I want his love interest to confess to him before he has the chance to.   I don't know if I'll keep the idea of her working in a bakery or have them both in the same class. I'll do a few scribbles before I start drafting a rough story.

BUG // Why did I choice Bug?

For this project I have to choice one of the following words to focus my drawings on...

DANCE       TANK      SCIENCE       FLIGHT       ENVELOPE     FORK       BUG      SKIP      PLANT

 







Originally I wanted to focus on the word 'plant' because I love flowers, however besides the obvious drawing nature over and over again I really didn't know what else I could draw besides that. So in the end I picked 'Bug' - because I felt I could draw a lot more variety for that word then 'plant'.

 

Ideas for drawings;

• Insects 

• Being Annoyed / Being 'Bugged' 

• Love Bug 

• Catching a bug / Sickness

• Insects interacting with nature

BUG // 8 development drawings

After completing the 32 images minimum for the word 'Bug' - I choice my most successful drawing (the one I felt was most 'affective' as an illustration) and expanded my ideas from the original drawing.

Classical Elements// Size Charts

 After designing each characters appearance, I next wanted to experiment with how the characters look along side each other/how they react to each other. However I wasn't very pleased with the first 'size chart'. Looking back at it, I dislike how each character seems to be the same 'height' on the page. So I redrew it...

The second 'size chart' was much more successful in my opinion; I think the ideal 'personalities' I want for each character are more clear now. For example, 'mermaid' is tiny compared to 'centaur' who is of course a horse; a fish is tiny compared to a stallion after all.
