To continue with the exploration and the expansion of the
world I am creating, I produced random quick narrative sketches to further
support the development and ideas I have for the creation of my fictional
world. While the final artworks will only show a snippet of the magical world I
had created, these will help further push the concept I have about the world,
through composition sketches and random narrative scenes. In addition to the
early sketches for the final artworks, these sketches are to visually
communicate my ideas and thoughts about the world, environments and its
characters. These ideas may help me in the future if I were to take these and
expand them into artworks or short narrative stories of the
characters/environments of the world.
Visual research into the expansive worlds of fictional stories/universes by artists/creators/authors
The worlds of Studio Ghibli. Founders: Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Toshio Suzuki, Yasuyoshi Tokuma.
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
My neighbour Totoro (1998)
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
Pom Poko (1994)
Spirited Away (2001)
Animated films produced by Studio Ghibli has a wide range of
different characters, ranging from regular people, to anthropomorphic and magical
characters. Enchanting worlds mixed with elements of reality and fantasy that Studio
Ghibli and director Hayao Miyazki had created fits with the idea I want this
project to be about, is to produce a world with the visual elements of
imaginary characters and environments that we can connect to. The project has no
target audience and it is opened to anyone who is interested in this world and
creations.
The Lord of the Rings. Originally published: 1955 Author: J.R.R Tolkien
Films - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
(2001), The Two Towers (2002), The Return of the King (2003). Director: Peter
Jackson
The fantasy world of “The Lord of the Rings”, created by
author J.R.R Tolkien, is rich with history and hidden details. The exploration
of the world made by Tolkien has been expanded upon through films, games and
other works fiction, generating many new stories that focuses around the
creation of the world, by introducing new characters, exploring new
environments and adding more depth to its lore. My project somewhat ties in
with the idea of creating the expanded universe of my world, similarly to “The
Lord of the Rings” and “Star Wars”, by adding new characters and stories to
increase the creative content over the years.
Book: "Starting Point: 1979 - 1996". Hayao Miyazaki
Small illustrations that visually communicate the ideas
behind the vehicles that were used in some of the animated films. A little in
depth look, similarly to an encyclopaedia to explore more about the world.
Looking into the sketches and quick paintings artists do to study
the environment/setting of the location. This can be useful to illustrate quick
environmental scenes for my imaginary world.
