Desirable Future (THU 2019 challenge)
My take on a desire-able future for the THU 2019 challenge. I joined in the challenge late (18 days left) but I took it as a chance to see how far I could go in an even more limited amount of time.
Lots of changes in the lighting situation, since I wasn't happy with earlier versions.
color 10 - small edits, such as dust in the air and small human figures in the mid ground for scale.
comp. thumbs
initial rough sketch, building up on top of the original thumb.
laying in some flat values for fore/mid/back ground separation.
updated sketch, values haven't been updated to this sketch yet.
color 1 - flat colors
color 2 - more local colors, decreased line opacity
color 3 - stronger contrast for shadows, added more local color differences in rest of environment
color 4 - worked up the garden, and began working on the back half of the midground and background
color 5 - cleaned up shapes (hard edges)
color 6 - more hard edge shape cleanup, with the light & shadow layers turned on
color 7 - playing with lighting
color 8 - cleanup of light and shadow spaces, while trying to improve dynamic lighting
color 9 - pushed back most of mid and background. Also changed the lighting, which I think is closer to what I was aiming for, with a dynamic light situation.
