SEPTEMBER Prompt WIP
-
@chrisaakins Thanks Chris for the great feedback. Great point! I'm attacking the final with better storytelling in mind. ^_^
-
@Annaaronson Thank you Anna for the kind words! I'm having fun with this and can't wait to finish and post the final!

Hey y'all, so in true WIP spirit, here's a composition sketch I did in my pocket Field Notes sketchbook (which I highly recommend btw). I wanted to drive home the story in the image, and I think the classroom setting is key. I really value all of your feedback, so let me know what you guys think :
-
@noah-albrecht I'm really enjoying your development of this. I would move the girl a little off center because, as Jake, Lee, and Will have pointed out, you want to be careful about the crotch area

I love this! Great happy posture with the girl, and I love the totally bland expression of the Viking. Can’t wait to see it finished.

@noah-albrecht I like the classroom and being able to see the teacher's face. You might want to think about the children. With them faced away from you the viewer will not be able to see their response to the Viking. If you rotate the angle I think you might be able to get a lot more bang for your buck.

@noah-albrecht To build on what @theprairiefox said you might also want to angle it so that the frame and the line of the wall are not parallel to each other. Will Terry (in composition 2.0) says that makes it look amateurish. You have a great idea. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.

Wow, love your characters
-
Lookin good. Might be fun to have his horns stabbing into the ceiling
-
@noah-albrecht the kids could be sitting in a circle for more expression opportunities.
I also want to put in my two bits for the second girl/viking combo. He seems more muscle thick with a bit more underlaying structure where this last viking seems a bit more fat thick. So I guess it depends how you want your viking in the story.
Way to keep the process going on the run!

@demotlj Thanks Laurie! And great point, I just listened to that podcast episode too! ^_^
-
@Kat Thanks Kat, I can’t wait to see it either haha! ^_^
-
That’s a great point @theprairiefox , others have commented on changing the composition so the you can see both the children’s and teacher’s expressions. I will take that into serious consideration on the final! ^_^

A little taste of the final, done in Adobe Fresco...
I’m really starting to dig these characters.
-
Very cool! Love their designs! Looking foward to seeing the final piece :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:
On a side note, how do you like Fresco? -
@Alesia-Roosma Thanks so much! Yeah, I really dig Fresco! By no means does it replace Procreate at all, but it’s a really solid release and will just get better over time.
