Invisible Cities Thumbnails 96-105 Octavia

Octavia was the second city I knew I definitely wanted to choose for one of my finals since I loved the spider like organic shapes that came along with the city and I could play with the suspended city idea. Although I liked coming up with concept ideas for this city I found it hard to draw successful compositions for it and I had to go to professional concept artists work for reference. My favorites out of these are #101 ,#103 and the idea behind #105. I feel as if with #105 I like the idea of the angle where the audience gets more of an idea of what the land below Octavia is like ,however, I think I`ll need to refine the composition a lot for it to work.

I settled on Argia as one of my final cities because I felt as if I could develop my ideas further and I could come up with some interesting colour schemes and compositions . My favorites out of these are  #86 , #87 ,#94 and #95 . I was mainly inspired by a tree city in Final Fantasy X and wanted to in cooperate the organic shapes into the buildings.

I wanted to give Flash another go and try my hand animation in Flash this time. I feel this went well and I`m getting used to the software the more I try it. Although , next time i`d like to try it with a tablet so I have more control.

I searched up some real life imagery since the majority of the designs in my head have rather Middle Eastern styled buildings ,so, I wanted some reference for these,however, I also wanted to research some concept art and thought that what may stimulate my ideas is concept art from games I know since they have some common themes that I`d like to take attributes from.

Character & Animation Flash Test I

 

 

Since being introduced to Flash today and being left to experiment with it I developed a walk cycle which I`m quite proud of . That being said , despite the appearance looking rough the movement is correct.

Character & Animation I

My first attempt at this form of animation , I`ve only ever done stop-motion animation before and so this was a nice change. I definitely prefer this method even though I found the speed control unreliable and was hard to control so it showed my work to a good quality.
