I started a project for my art lessons in school. We should show motion (well that's the worst translation I could have given, better: to step, to perambulata or to cross [NOTE: I don't know what I am talking here I just translated the german words to english words http://conceptart.org/forums/images/ca_smilies/normal/;%29.gif ]). We must do this with 4 Images which must be dinA3 sized. My original idea was to show luck, pain, death and rebirth (sounds really simple, heh?). All 4 images must be the same scene but we have to move the camera angel and so on ... My character is standing on a battlefield (you see this in image 2) and dies there. Image 1 shows him smiling because he is watching a butterfly, lucky moment Than the camera zooms out and shows the battlefield with monsters (maybe) and you can see the character is hurt. Then the camera zooms out and you can see the character dieing and the last image shows the character as an angel flying to heaven.


Here is what I have painted so far ...

Hi Trunks,

Good to see your WIP thread. :)

The main thing that I would advise for these pieces is to use Reference. There's no shame in using Ref, it's the best way to improve your piece. :) Try taking your own instead of using stock footage, particularly for the people. Take pictures of friends or of yourself in the same lighting conditions as you would want to show in your painting.

Looking forward to seeing this develop! :)

Cheers,

Rebeccak: Thanks for stopping by :) Maybe you are right and I should use some reference. I'll make some fotos tomorrow. Wow what a day, tomorrow I have to do so much in so less time. Maybe I have to be awake 48hours a day or I plan to do to much a day ;)


Updates: The battleground is gone, I have no time to paint this and the main reason is that after some thoughts it does not fit to the concept anymore.
Image3: The 2 killers will get pistols. They are shooting my character, no futuristic but something fitting to the time.
Image4: The angel has to look into the other direction (into the image) to show the "step" the character made. Also my teacher told me that might be better.

The new concept paintings for image 3 and 4 will be painted and uploaded by me tomorrow.

Hope you like the changed concept?


Anyway, here is what I got without reference ;) :
