Things To Do....

So I figure the best way to both explain the details of the story while developing the visual style is to produce heaps of concept art for things I have written down as notes and stuck in the back of my head. One of my goals (maybe ill do a separate post with a timeline schedule) was to have a finalized visual style by the end of January. So on the to do list of concept work is:

1. A proper rendering/ cross section of the building the people live in. And maybe a separate layover pyramid diagram which shows how the building symbolically and physically epitomizes their beliefs. This can go in hand with notes which perhaps explain their laws, ways of life and how they come down to interact with the land.

2. Concept work for the characters (the old ones shown in an earlier post are worth nothing). There are several major and minor characters vaguely in my mind and this will be a good way to flesh them out. Also perhaps a rendering of a class member from each tier of their society.

3. Mechs.... for now I'm pretty happy with the mechs. Perhaps they could use a bit of variation (a few different models). Or I could better theorize their production. Or visually develop my ideas for their storage and how they interact with the building (supports).

4. Also, the mechs of coarse need something to fight. So the physical antagonists. Concept work would be a good way to flesh this out in my own mind also. I could perhaps have several pieces, one being a landscape scene showing how they are ever present: Constantly looming on the oceans edge, and show how they are accepted (apprehensively?) as a part of the environment. I also only have a vague idea of how these guys look. And only a loose justification of what they stand for.

5. Some descent landscape scenes showing both Mt Taranaki (in its unique state) and the home of the people. Also show what has become of the general landscape.

6. Maybe some general illustrations showing how I am going to represent the third (spirit world) section, which reflects the physical world....... Just some general brainstorming for this would be good. Specifically I could develop a few key scenes in the spiritual journey.

7. A few illustrations showing some of the ideas and technologies I want to use.

9. Any other key shots which I think will be important.

That seems like enough for now........
