CPS WEEK 09 - Characters and Events

In response to the theme of  Characters and Events , I created some concept art which delves into the past and origins of my main character from my studio one project. This was made mostly in Procreate.

By utilizing visual storytelling and elements of colour theory I showed that time, events and narrative can be derived from the creative input of these methods into a single shot.

My character on the outside appears fairly one dimensional in my studio one work, with only hints at her true nature. I wanted to take this opportunity to explore her back story and hint at the events that turned her from a regular person into the more violent disconnected study she now is.

Through the natural methods of western composition (reading images and text left to right) and human emotional reactions to colour (blue - calming , sad, nostalgic / red - anger, violence, danger) I wanted to tell the story and "fall from grace" of the character. 

Similar work has been produced by Satoshi Kon, whose work Perfect Blue explores this theme by using colour to perpetuate a characters personal narrative relationship with the world around them and how that relationship in turn impacts the progression of the character's development.
