Research Week 2

For research we have been tasked with creating a quick 3 minute powerpoint presentation that has to include an idea of what we want to do throughout this semester. The powerpoint has ti include:
Project Topic
Project Medium
Project Inspiration

For the project itself, I'm thinking of expanding my work that I've done on my storyboard from semester one, which was the story of a young girl granmted the power to fight nightmare in exchange for being able to sleep. I'm also continueing to work on this in this semesters animation and comic classes.

One thing I really enjoyed doing last semester was environmental art, So I'm considering expanding the work I did in digital and work on more concept art. This work in particular I was really happy with, but I really want to develop it further and work more on details, composition and colour in order to create a believable, detailed and compelling world in which a story would take place. 

.I want to continue using Sylvain Sarrailh as an artist model for my work, as I used her as inspiration in digital and really admire her work. I also wanted to explore various other styles in the medium, and  I discovered a really useful website for concept artists works, which was conceptartworld.com

Some of the art styles and artists that caught my eye were the ones below:

I also recently found a really interesting video exploring creating an environmental painting with acrylics and perspex with multiple layers. I think the end result looks really cool, and could possibly be a consideration if the project is being created to be displayed in a garllery. It gives of a really cool parallax effect which reminds me a lot of the multipane system used in animating old, cell shaded disney animations.
