4th Year Short Film - As The Seasons Pass

Colour Variants and concept


Other Backgrounds for this short film


Concept Art
Elytrian Library

For this project, I want to create a background illustration including the Robin from the character design section.
The background and its accompanying character are based off a story in which I am in the process of making where it is based off medieval, mythology and magic.
Robin is an angelic librarian who enjoys to learn and study everything he can about the world, this usually ends up with him passing out on his desk from late nights where he would study without end

Sketches
The several passes I did to finalize the design including the perspective grids, the lineart, and then the addition of other smaller details such as the books and other desk items



Sketches
For the next step of the process, I choose some thumbnails that I liked and made them into more detailed sketches taking into consideration perspective and detail


Concepts and Thumbnails
Some moodboards and thumbnail sketches on what I wanted to create for this project. It is a library inspired by Elden Ring, most notably Sir Gideon Ofnir's study room




Prop Sheets

Painting from reference thumbnails
