The Overly Problematic Networking Attempt pt.2

      So as I was saying, I had chosen two images to draw.

This is the first one:

       

           It is meant to be in the bending arena, with the cast of Korra in front and Ghost Adult Anng in the back on top of the raised platform. This is actually my favorite idea because of the playfulness of Anng.  This also fits the layout of the people in the shot I used as reference.  

           This is the second image, and the first one that I started.  Same idea as before except the it is a view of Anng's statue which is in the back dancing like everybody else. I like this one because it was more uniform and quicker to read.  However it also comes across as a little more over the top and less fun.

           Before blowing these and printing a blue line on card stock, I did more practice sketches of Korra characters.  Like so.

There were about five more pages but you get the idea.

I focused on the faces thinking that they would be the hardest for me to get.  Also I had found pretty good reference for the outfits.  That way of thinking was not such a good idea actually.

The Overly Problematic Networking Attempt pt.1

           So at the end of August I had finished what I thought was my last class at Savannah College of Art and Design.  During that time I had the idea to send letters to various directors and creators and try to see if I could create a small discussion by talking shop.  One in a million, but whatever.  I tried it a couple of times and slipped in a storyboarding portfolio.  One got sent back as an unsolicited submission while the other there was no reply.  Then I decided to try it with cute fan art as a "bribe" so to speak.  My first attempt is Legend of Korra creators Mike and Bryan.  Obviously with the title this hasn't been as easy as it seems.

          The concept I came up with was to mix Gangam Style with the Legend of Korra cast in Season 2 clothing.  This was before Gangam Style blew up overseas and was just really popular in South Korea and people who are into Kpop.  I was also assuming that one of the two would have come across or heard about it, since the animation is done in South Korea. But I digress, after finishing class, I started to brainstorm and thumbnailed my idea out.  Like so.

 Also during this I was watching the video and referencing the dancing. This way I could pick and choose the poses that I wanted, and stay true to the research material.

          So while thinking about this, I was trying to decided between two images, both I like but I wasn't sure which would be better.  So I decided to do two, one for Mike, and one for Bryan.  That didn't work out so well.
