Final Lap

Here. The final piece to ending the progress of this assignment. The compilation of drawings, character, layout and insect diagrams. All fitted to tell the story and the process of how it all comes together to show my merchants relevance to the his living space. Like the idea of my abstract, I kept in mind the design language which is Centralization. From the center, my insect breaks out in to several segments.

Character Design

 Looks a bit weak? Apologies, I literally had no idea or a hero that I envisioned. Like all heroes or villains, there is a story behind the life they chose to walk away from. For my character, the man I envisioned him to be is a merchant for hire. (also because I could not decide)  So here's the backstory...

A-26 was part of a successful task force that was merged with centipede like characters, as a team they did the bidding of others; assassinations, toppling government etc. They were effective beyond expected, until one unfatef...

Do not know what you are looking at?  Me neither, at first. It is completely different from where I began the process of this assignment. In this task, we are to extract attributes, behavior, characteristics that defines our insect. And later, change its interpretation into the form of formal organisation, design language; even as we identify the tangible and intangible components of the insect.  The organisation that I have chosen is Centralization, whereby the different parts of the piece meets at a point. Through several stages of trial and error in defining my language, I have concluded with final results. As I have chosen, Violent, Protective, Segmented.  Upon stating these attributes, you should be able to match the keywords to my art piece. All of which represents my centipede. This is because, like the centipede, the exaggerated segments in my abstract art shows the body. Using warm colors and the erratic patterns, I display its violent behavior co...
