Animation Inspiration

By Anonymous

This is a video game called Inside and it's part of the inspiration for my animation. Inside is a puzzle adventure game developed by Playdead. I've watched the game be played on YouTube and I really enjoyed the eerie mood the style and story gave off. There's no dialog and you are thrown into the game being chased through dark woods and you don't know why. As you play through, the story is reviled, and I think that and the style of the game gives it it's eerie feeling. 
The story of my animation is suppose to be ghostly and eerie starting off so I really gravitated towards Inside's game style for inspiration. I took the idea of the fog, dim lighting, and abandon areas to use in my animation but portrayed in my style. Also, I used Inside's style of gray scale and limited or a single color (my main character) to help portray the eerie feeling.  Overall, I thought this game was really beautifully created and the story is really interesting and I recommend checking it out: Inside.

    I absolutely love the style of your animation! I like the contrast between your character and the dark backgrounds. That game sounds super interesting, reminds me of the Portal series. So excited to see the finished project!

    I watched a full playthrough of this game and it was definitely something to talk about. The contrast between backgrounds and characters was awesome, the thrilling and suspenseful parts of the game causing you sit there on the edge of your seat. Haven't played it myself but I may get around to it. As for your animation, I love it to bits. Super excited to see it when it's done.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
