FMP proposal - PROPOSAL UPDATE

For my Final Major Project I am going to produce original content of characters and scenes as a collection of artworks that will loosely have narrative(s), as well as being standalone artworks individually. These characters and sceneries I will be producing will inform my interests within the genre of sci-fi fantasy in games, storyboards and film/entertainment.

The idea of creating my very own ‘world’ or ‘universe’ is to establish a body of original content that will identify myself as an artist to the audience. Considering the time I have ahead after university, I would want to work from the original content I had created, therefore using this Major Project as the starting point of introducing and creating visual content under my name as an artist. The artworks for my characters is to make each one as standalone artworks, while at the same time they can be viewed as a collective that will loosely tell a story or narrative about the fictional world and its characters. Included in these works will be ‘easter eggs’ or visual motifs (reoccurring objects or characters) as I would like to add little twists of hidden details.

The artworks I will produce are to express my imagination and the concepts that I am interested in drawing: characters/creatures and atmospheric sceneries. I will be using a mixture of both concept art and storyboarding to create my images. In addition the art style I currently have will be pushed to be developed further and to be established as my visual style of painting (this will be an ongoing process throughout the project and it may slightly change).

The content I will be aiming to illustrate will consist of:

Characters. 4 Characters (at the minimum) will be designed and illustrated by me. A male, a female, an animal character and a spirit character (subjects may change). These will be approached as Concept Art (a full body illustration of the characters).

Sceneries. Conveying the beauty of the world using colours and composition. These will be approached as storyboards and concept art. These artworks will include some of the characters that will illustrate a moment in time within their narrative(s). I will be using real life locations as a starting point to build my fictional world for sceneries and environments, including characters’ homes and their narratives.

The intended outcome for my FMP is to have physical artworks to be displayed on the wall (the sizes of each artwork will vary), while the rest will be presented as a digital portfolio (PowerPoint presentation in loop) on computer alongside with the physical pieces. Accompanying these will be prints of the artworks.
