light and composition

 Thomas Kinkade’s painting called “Tinkerbelle and peter fly to Neverland” has three main light sources in this painting Tinkerbelle, Big Ben, the second star and the sun rising in Neverland; with these four source it gives the painting distance and space. Also each main light gives off a different atmosphere the light that’s being created by Tinkerbelle emphasises her magical powers as a fairy, the light from Neverland gives a warmth to the island as it’s a sanctuary as well as giving this warm feeling about the characters made of clouds on the bottom-left. While the star which has a green tinge giving a jealous or evil tone to the characters near to it. The light from Big Ben is a dim light unlike the light from Neverland showing how is a desirable place rather than reality. The shadows in night time London portrays reality as unexciting unlike Neverland which is now waking up and is full of life.  The composition in this painting is iconic placing the main characters e.g. peter pan, Tinkerbelle and the children in the diamond while Neverland takes up the left corner and hook in the right meaning that every  corner there is something interesting to look at. Even the characters direction of flight guides the viewer through the painting.

This painting by Schin Loong shows the light being refracted as the bright light from above transcends into the water below. The refraction allows the light to bounce through the water, scattering the light around the character so the woman looks pure and innocent. While the shadows bellows connects to the birds which seem to be drowning as they sink downwards.  Composition wise the mermaid is upon the cross which is used to stage the main character with opposing forces. This is shown by her human side being at the top nearest to the light while her octopus bottom is under the water in darkness. 

Final Image

 Before I created my final image i looked at poses to get an idea of how poses give a certain feeling about the character. I looked at how a character can hold their body creates a different feeling. for example the 2nd to the left on the top row shows the figure curled up in a ball, this can suggest that this character is scared or deeply depressed so much so that he has fallen to the ground. while the figure on the top-far right  shows empowerment as the character starts to stand shows proudness and a strong will.

My final Image portray a devastated young woman, this is shown by the expression on her face and the way she is low down on the floor but sh also shows the willingness to not fall completely this is shown by the clenched fist and her feet illustrating that she is going to get up. The black background portrays the darkness in her life that surrounds her while the center spotlight over the princess shows that she is powerful and still hopeful.

Environment

This is my second background for my project, even though I feel like some of my skills have improved such as the sizes of objects in the room I don't feel like i have improved enough to be proud of my work as i can't feel a presence of the room and it doesn't seem realistic enough.

Model Sheet

This is my model sheet for the princess which i think was interesting to do but on the other hand i found that i have made me character very plain in fact. But by being plain it gives a sense of the character as someone who doesn't want to stand out and show of her money and power. It also shows that she is a natural beauty by only giving her a bit of mascara it makes her look like pure person, this personality trait is also helped white shirt, blonde hair and blue ribbon. the white shirt and hair gives a indication of an angelic character this trait is helped with the blue ribbon. With all these traits it creates a stereotypical princess who is native and pure of heart; by this character being put in the situation of seeing her parent being killed in front of her, i gather this personality won't last long and instead be taken over by revenge. This costume gives her perfect cover for what she really feels.

Character Sheet

This is my character sheet which i found easier to do than try to do environments. My favorite expression is the very upset on the bottom row as i think i captured the raw emotion of the character.

1st Environment

This is my first environment I have ever done so i haven't done as well as i thought and I'm leaving it like this as i feel that it won't help my final image but it does give me insight in to the structures and the scale of them.
to create this image I looked at a variety of Manhattan structures which looked old enough to fit into the time period. luckily my time and place of setting. My next environment will be based inside the princess home where the story her story takes place.    

mind map for essay

this is my spider diagram  of a game i had never player before called 'Splinter cell' it was an interesting game as you could only sneak around in the darkness with the objective of not being seen. this game on the meter of paedia it would be 1 as its more of a ludus type of game as the player is kept on the certain objectives with no free roaming. overall i did enjoy this game even though i didn't get very far and i will try to play similar games more in the future.
