Research Gathering

Here is the start of research for this project. First 4 images below show some concepts for landscape and the idea of town. First image shows a very nice concept of the mountains. I like the style and the shape which in our project we are going to rely on to bring out our story. Wasn't to keen on the colour but the two main mountains are a great reference for later on. 

 The idea of the town was that this is the place that is in the middle of the two wizards, similar to the image above. The idea is that the wizards argument would always end up with the town getting destroyed. We wanted to make the houses simple in design but with a nice shape to them that would make it stand out.

 Above is a mood board of house images we liked the style off. From this we plan to develop from but try get a unique look to our buildings.

Character Research: Ugly/Crude Wizard.

Below are a selection of images show the idea we have for the ugly/crude wizard. We like the long limbed proportions as it looks unnatural and unhealthy which is what we want to show. Also adds a evil idea about them. Ego from Ratatouille is a great character and we really liked the way he was portrayed so when it comes to creating designs we plan to use him as a reference. Also the long boney hands really add create movement.

 Again the long limbed bad guy really stands out for what we want. The idea of contrast between the two characters is a big thing for us to make sure we capture so the idea of one being skinny and long limbed with the other nice proportioned and will built would bring out the idea that one cares how he looks and the other doesn't.
