Edited Sound and Particle Test

For this creative exploration I have edited together sound and did a little bit of particle animation on Maya and composited it on After Effects. I was trying to make glowing balls of light. For this project one of my character emits light. I'm deciding on whether I should approach this using software or experiment with something else to make the glowing ball of light effect. Its quite easy to generate a ball of light using CG but if it isn't tweaked well to fit the entire project it might end up looking like a cheap effect.

Thought: I could also approach this stylistically and "invent" my own light using traditional medium.

Visual Brainstorming

A little visual brainstorming playing around with colour and composition. I struggled to come up with some sort of narrative at first and it took awhile to come up with a idea and an aesthetic. After sitting around doodling, experimenting with colour on photoshop I finally begin to visualize my characters and environment. Everything is still rough at this point as I am begining to develop the character designs and concept.

The Setting

This is a working design of one of my characters. I thought of putting more of a human face on him.
