Assignment #8.1: Final Layout Mockup and Reference
For my final layout, I'm planning on doing a whimsical, flowy take on a sort of rainforest/tropical island type setting. I'm hoping it'll look like no man has ever stepped foot in it.

Assignment #7.2: Style-Based Layout
Values
Colours
There are two main light sources; one from the sun roof and the other from the stairs entryway. The sun roof's light is reflected on the tree brances and leaves, while the light from the entryway lights up the stairs and the small open corners of the roof.
The speculars can be found on the wooden rods from the roof's structure, as well as on the leaves from their grey container.
The focus point is mainly on the tree, and it's been centered and almost framed by the sun roof's structure for emphasis.
There's a bit of a warped 3 point perspective in this layout, nothing strict.
There are elements of rim light on the tree branches, the leaves and the edge of the plant container.
I played around with a more cool coloured hue, but added a little bit of an orange to add to the brightness of the light sources. The earlier versions of this layout were more desaturated, but in order to put a bit more energy into the grey environment, I intensified the blue overlay that I had.

Assignment #7.1: Hit the Streets
Location: SFU
Style: Artist Pascal Campion
So I had originally wanted to head over to English Bay to take pictures of the candle lighting vigil that was to take place there on Saturday, but unfortunately I wasn't able to attend. So the next day, I headed off to SFU based on my father's suggestion. It's a gorgeous campus, but I had forgotten how gorgeous it was until I visited it again that day. Too bad my camera didn't take very bright pictures(forgot to turn on the flash). I'll probably head over there for more pictures if I have to later on.
As for the style, I had originally wanted to do something kind of Art Deco-ish, until I actually ended up going on location. There I realized it wouldn't really work with the look of SFU. I wanted something that could show how epic SFU's grey walls were, so I decided on Pascal Campion's style, which is full of intense colour and emotion.

Assignment #6: Emotional Beat Board
This was based off of a smalll moment in my life. When my great grandmother died, my mom took it a bit hard; she told me that my great grandmother was like a mother to her, not just a grandmother. It was the first time I'd seen my mom actually cry.

Assignment #1
One of "kidchan's" beautifully unique artworks, among many. Her soft lines, milky colours and serene mood has made this to be one of my favourites of hers. This scene definitely makes you feel free and peaceful, compassionate even. Kidchan's artwork has definitely made me want to improve my own work over the years.
This picture would be a screenshot from the movie "Across the Universe". This picture captures, in my opinion, one of the most intense moments of the film; a very emotional and artistic sequence around the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles. In fact, the scene itself is partially about the protagonist's sudden inspiration, and makes me want to create something too.
A beautiful artwork by Kelly Bastow. An example of one of her many emotionally invested pictures. With the warm, red colours and the serene background, as well as the well rendered scenery, it gives off a peaceful feeling. The mood of the picture is clear.
A screenshot from the Studio Ghibli Film "Whisper of the Heart". This movie is one of my favourites by far from that studio, and this screenshot seems to capture the reason why it inspires me. A simple, pure love story. Compassion, warmth.
This painting done by "Lora8" has been a particularly inspiring work for me. I ended up using this image once as a basis for a small, short story that I wrote in high school. It's definitely a picture that spurs the imagination, with the intriguing man and his smoky vision.
