Love Love Poster

I did something fun to lighten up the Mood in here...

Font Used: Shoestore

Border Black And White

I think that this Version is better because the Coloured Version may be too strong...




Another Version of Black and White. I wanted it to appear more like looking into a Television.

Update

Good!

Keep it up and work faster!

I just scanned all 23 Pages of Drawings from Yusri and Tracing has started!

I also made some Adjustments as some of the Bodies are not in Proportion.

You don't mind, do you?...

The Next Meeting

Hi Everybody!

I hope that everyone had completed their Professional Profiling or whatever it is that you were doing...

So since it is a 1 Week Break, David is hoping to meet with us and see where have we ended up...

So is next Thursday suitable for everyone?

Border Test

A Rough Idea of how the Border will look like.

I have not added the Interface into it yet.

Character Design - 3 Sages Colour Test

Yusri mentioned that this Colour Scheme makes them look like they were made from Clay.



I think Grey is a better Colour Choice. They look more like they were made from Rock.

Concept Art - Heropolis Academy Colour Test

Meeting 5

Our Working Title for this comic is "FinisFluxus" which means "Final Flow".

I have a Rough Idea about how our Website and Interface are going to be. We will be going for the Simple Approach. We will have a Border made up of the 2 City Logos on each side. We will also have Scene Selection at the Bottom. The Play Button can be activated by moving the Computer Mouse.

Animation
Each Panel will come into the Frame and leave it later. We could also use the Zoom Feature. If there is any Rock-flying, we could make them run over the Border for better Effects.

We also did a little Brainstorming. It is nice to have Stuff:

• Character Bio
• Location Bio
• Deleted Scenes
• How We did this Project / Documentation
• Map

Stuff To Do

Benjamin
1) You should start creating the Music for the Beginning / History Scenes.
2) Upload the Music online so that we can preview them and give some Constructive Comments.

Tao Hui
1) Draft out the Storyboard. At least finish 3 Pages or Chapter 1 before next Thursday.

Jasmine
1) Finish the Colouring Test
2) Draft out the Look of the Website and the Interface

Next Meeting

Bring whatever you have completed on Monday and on Tuesday.
Meeting on 25 October. After School Hours with David.

The Production Pipeline

* Some Changes might be made.

Character Design - Leo Colour Test

Yusri and I have decided that both Leo and Fenrir should have Colour Schemes that will contrast with each other.

Therefore, we chose the Classic Black and White Colour Scheme...

Character Design - Inubis, Fenrir, Agnis Colour test

Inubis





Fenrir

I fixed his Legs. I think he should be alright now. Yusri did not draw his Legs in the Original Design.




Agnis

Character Design - Anna Colour Test

The Top Left Version is Yusri's Original Idea of Anna's Colour Scheme. The other Colour Schemes are my own.



Some Monochromatic Colour Schemes. I like the Blue Version.

Character Design - Anna Colour Test

Colour Test.

How is it? I did the Colouring in different Layers. If you don't like it, I could easily change it.

Since this is a Colour Test, I spent only an Hour to colour this...
