I'm new here,I'll def giv this a shot.

Tmhlaba · 12-06-2010, 01:19 PM

Hmm this sounds awesome. I'll do Princess Mononoke.

Nubian-Anubis · 10:30 PM

I think i'll go for spirted away.Might change my mind though...

so I was doing an experiment with PS brushes,not for final image.Something to share at least...

quick sketch..

Hmm I don't know what I want do as a final image,something more epic than this.I'm currently making some brush strokes traditonal,that I can scan in and use in photoshop.

I'm new here,I am supposed to post my progress in this thread? or another one?

edit:

Did some Compositional thumbs,none of them are giving me quite what I want..I like the feeling of abandonment at the beginning of spirited away,I think that'll be my focus,not sure if i want to include a character or not...i'll do some research on more interesting buildings...

edit2: threw some colours on there for exploration.

WIP:

Kind of a crossover: Howl vs. Mononoke+wolf mount.

Next step. I think I'm going to call this one enough for one night, I'll do more tomorro.

Gonna make it in rush hour....

Denizen · 04:37 AM

irawan- thanks for putting up all those inspiring ref pics man.

Your first sketch is pretty sweet, post your progress once that project is done!

Peter_Coene- good start, the pose of the two beasts are dynamic and full of energy. maybe do some thumbnails and push the composition even more with other camera angles? the harpy beast with claws is wicked.

Nubian-Anubis- I like your idea of focusing on the feeling of abandonment at the beginning of spirited away. See where you can take it!

Here are some more thumbnails. Need to start narrowing down my ideas, I have to many! Definitely going to focus on a theme of the forest spirit.

Already did thumbs, I liked the composition for the one I'm doing; it reminded me of a yin-yang, which I felt fitting considering the emphasis Miyazaki has placed on natural balance as well as the good that can be found in all of his characters; even the antagonists. I might Dutch the angle a bit further tho, it already is a bit but apparently isn't noticeable.

As for the "harpy beast with the claws;" that's my take on Howl when he goes all bird-man.

AppleCrow · 12-08-2010, 07:29 AM

sweet!!! oh man, so many ideas surging through my head right now...I'll be back with some visuals...this is going to be crazy fun...gl to everyone

Nubian-Anubis · 12-08-2010, 09:01 AM

Hi everyone. I've never participated in a challenge before but I'm a huge Miyazaki fan and I'd love to take part in this one.

I just have two questions - is it open to any CGHub member? Do I have to register or something?

My other question is for icon. What do you mean by this:

"Bonus: Single Character Illustration on white background!"

Is this a character design challenge or an illustration challenge? I'm a little confused.
