Design Sketches

I have now begun a range of designs for my final choice of stories.

The Little Mermaid
To begin with I spent some time creating different designs for the castle, as this is the scene I want to create. See Sketchbook. I then began to add some surroundings to the castles and created the following designs.

Design One       Design Two       Design Three

Inchelina
I have taken note of what I saw in my artist research for this story and have created some designs that contain a mix of scenes described in the narrative.

I will now continue with these research topics and revisit my designs later on to finalise my ideas. I may also use some of the matte painting skills I learnt earlier, to create mock-up compositions.
