And The Colors

Hey, everyone. Doin’ okay? Writing off the top of my head. This blog will be like a part two to the Rich T. Newsletter I just published.

So, this is the first of three concept illustrations I did for a film client, along with a series of black and white storyboards. A medium shot based on a scene from the script I received from the film director/screenwriter. Framing of the woman was towards the right, not centered, something slightly off balance, reflecting the uneasiness of what she was going through in that scene. Her mental state reflected in her body language and the emotional, subdued look on her face, as if something is weighing her down. Something on her mind.

And contrast. A woman in black dress in the foreground, against a bright purple pink background. You need the contrast, so the viewer is not confused with the visual imagery, can differentiate all the visual elements in the foreground and the background. The bright purple pink makes it pop. And speaking of pop, that was the aim. A cartoony pop style. No realism or a combination of realism with a sense of design-think Neal Adams or a Bob Peak style-in the rendering.

Well, guess that’s about it. I’ll drop in next month with a few more rambles and riffs on what’s going on. Weather getting a bit cooler, sunsets early evening. You can feel it in the air, that Halloween season. Leaves changing. Autumn in full swing. Talk to you soon!
