Week 06 - Use of Composition

 

Week 01 - Use of Silhouettes

 

For my team assignment, I made four designs of Glinda from 'The Wizard of Oz' from author L. Frank Baum's 1900 children novel in the style of Airship Syndicates 2024 'Wayfinder'. I drew the top four silhouettes by hand and used Gemini and Chat GPT to create the four bottom designs.

Glinda is not a super well-defined character in the novels; her main character traits being her beauty, in particular her beautiful hair;

the Witch Glinda sat upon a throne of rubies. She was both beautiful and young to their eyes. Her hair was a rich red in color and fell in flowing ringlets over her shoulders. Her dress was pure white but her eyes were blue, and they looked kindly upon the little girl. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900)

As a result I tried to keep her hair as a very prominent feature, playing with different textures, sizes, and styles. Another big feature of Wayfinder is their 'class system' in regards to their player characters; each player 'hero' has a unique class they're associated with and as a result I experimented with making Glinda different fantasy classes; such as a sorcerer, cleric, paladin, and warlock.

Going into FIEA, I feel as though I have a pretty good foundational understanding of art concepts, specifically in terms of colour and shape language. However throughout FIEA I want to improve my storytelling skills throughout my pieces and practice my concepting skills.
