Road to Magic (Countdown 4)





This week is all Background Thumbs. For BG's I usually start small and fast. I try not to make anything too complicated. Starting small makes me focus on composition instead of detail, which should not be the focus at this early stage.

Momotaro I'm thinking about trying a Japanese print style with some theater stage design compositions. The idea is to keep the staging simple by layering foreground, middle ground, and background element.

Little Red BG's are more defined but I still tried to think of staging the scene for animated action that would pass through the background.

Le Morte d'Arthur, I want simpler BG's that are simple with areas of detail. The idea is the setting could be more implied which would help to push the focus to the character or action that would be in the scene.

Next week. Hm, not sure what I will show. It will probably be on the four alternate concepts or larger mock ups of the backgrounds with the character.

See ya next week.
