Godzilla WIP. Feedback always welcome!
-
@Braden-Hallett love seeing the pitch, keywords and value thumbs (the backstory is a nice add as as well). I think all of your ideas are extremely fun.
I would say you are executing on the little girl the best. I would suggest exaggerating the slingshot as it is key to understanding the story. I really like the thumb that is a closeup on the girl as well. It would provide a little more opportunity to explore the girl's character more. But I am torn because the one you picked fits the keywords so well.
Great ideas!
-
Oh man all of these are so good. I think the girl is the most unique and has a really strong composition. The dog one i think has lots more story to it. Im bias and this giant robots are cool, but giant monsters are cooler.
-
I really like that giant mech with Godzilla in the background. It just screams Godzilla’s challenger
-
Love the concept of the big eye and the girl. I actually love one of the rough thumbnails better (no.3 in the first row of the big eye thubmnails). The girl is placed high up, feels more threatening toward the big eye.
-
Thanks everyone for the feedback
I'm torn between the eye and the robot. Maybe I'll finish both. -
@Erin-Cortese I think you're right. Seeing the 'challenger' (challengee?) ACTUAL godzilla in the picture may be the deciding factor. The big eye could be for any monster
-
@Heather-Boyd A pitch is a detached description. A 'story' is just me trying to get a little closer to the illustration by coming up with something a little more interesting. Text that could go in the image if it were a kid's book I suppose.
-
they're all great. I am partial to the dog because I love dogs
but I think it's really cool seeing just part of him in the image like in the thumbnail, and same for the giant eyeball, really cool. robot is great too though! Hard to pick! -
I'm gonna do the giant robot. Then the eye if there's time since I really like it. But I think Godzilla (a recognizable godzilla) needs to be in the picture somewhere. I guess it all depends. Is it a wise idea to rely on the title of the picture to be part of the storytelling?
Anyhoo! Here's a rough sketch of the giant robot. Next step is linework
-
@Braden-Hallett awesome, i was going to do a robot piece as well, but after seeing this... wow great job on the sketch. I need to think of something else LOL
-
@Chip-Valecek Your robot can look different
. Still be cool to see your interpretation. -
@Braden-Hallett You are killing it as usual, this looks awesome! I don’t think it is absolutely necessary for Godzilla to be in the composition as the focus is on the challenger, but I do think it works here if you want to include it. I think it works just as well without it though. Lol, that’s probably not helpful sorry.
-
Oh wow, I actually love all 3 of your compositions, they all look so fun! I think my favourite is the robot one, i just love the kids face in the foreground and all the little details you've put in - and i've just noticed Godzilla's silhouette in the background, AMAZING!
-
@Braden-Hallett I'm so glad you went with the robot one. It was my favourite, I love the godzilla silhouette in the background and your use of perspective
-
@Chip-Valecek All robots are welcome as all robots are awesome
Come oooooooon. Do the robot!
-
Inks!
Next up is using that initial value scheme and gettin' some lighting goin' on.
-
@Braden-Hallett love the playfulness of the kids and robot. Looking good.
-
@Braden-Hallett this is a really great composition. You have really grown in your work. I thought it was great when we first met, but you are killing it. Your storytelling is phenomenal. Your style is instantly recognizable. Way to go!
-
This is such a great piece so far. I especially love seeing all the work in progress steps.
Thanks for sharing. -
This is amazing!
