LAUAN503 - Weekly Blog



I have been focusing quite a bit on my space-themed backgrounds for my group project. While my other team mates have been focusing on animatics and models, as well as storyboard, I have been focusing my creative talents on doing background illustrations for the short film. Here are a few I have worked on so far:

Saturn:

I have used a reference of saturn in space to construct this background, as well as a scene from my teammate's animatic.

I have used the colours and adjusted them to fit
the colour scheme of space.




Solar System:


I based this background off a similar concept art I made at the beginning of the year. I used various references such as typical space backgrounds, as well as a specific reference for mars.

I think I can improve upon the different space-like backgrounds by adding more vivid colours such as the one above to make space a lot more appealing.

Earth & Moon:

 
  • In this depiction of earth I decided to make the backgrounds a lot more vivid in colour since it's closer to the sun. I also made this decision to contrast it against the now polluted earth, which is very important to the story of the film.

What went well?

  • Fairly well represented astronomical entities (Planets, asteroids, space etc.)
  • Good lighting.
  • Decent shading on the planets and space oddities.
  • Good colour schemes.
What to improve?

  • More detail to the space backgrounds
  • Finish City-scape colouring, shading and lighting.
  • Make more space-themed backgrounds.
