All five Panels

  These are the five panels (still subject to change) as I have them so far. I have not placed them in the correct order for this post but will be fixing it soon and reposting. The correct order is:

 The B&W, the Cubism, the Expressionism, the Art Nouveau, then the Pop art.

 I still have a good deal of work to do but it has been a busy week so I’m not as far along as I would like to be again. So here is the info on each panel. I have Refereence work but am not sure if I should post them or not.

 Black and White:

 The dark/evil army is invading Basha’s home and she doesn’t know who they are or what they want. She is hiding in the trees and watching them as they pass by. This panel is meant to show the mystery that Basha is feeling about not knowing who the mystery invaders are while still being the dramatic opening to the upcoming war.

 The artists I looked at are:

 Jim Starr – an Illustrator

 Dave Cunning and BMB – online comic titles B&W

 Cubism:

 The King has given the order to go to war and Basha’s world has now shifted off its axis. Nothing is the same anymore and she is about to face a life changing moment in the battle to come.

 Artists I looked at:

 Pablo Picasso -Cubist painter

 Kaina Wyatt- unknown

 Juan Gris – Cubist painter

 Expressionism:

 The two armies are meeting on the battle field. Tensions are high as the fighting is about to start and many will die. Many soldiers are afraid and the monsters seem bigger and badder than they truly are while the demons see the winged soldiers as a large golden army from the heavens.

 Artists I looked at:

 Art Nouveau:

 Basha is fighting her way to the General of the invading army. Basha’s golden spear flashes across the ground as coppery blood stains the earth and enemies fall before her.  

Artists I looked at:

 Pop:

 Basha has landed the final blow and the General falls. The war is over and the victory is hers. The scene is straight from the comic books as the Hero triumphs over the villain and the day is saved.

 Artists I looked at:

 

Not as far as i wished to be…

I’m not as far as I wanted to be but I’m finding it hard lately to find time to come into the lab to work on these panels. This is what i have in a semi finished state. Teh other panels are alreasy planed but not really far along but I will post them later today so you can see where i am at.

Here is what I have now.

And the third one is here.

the order that they’re in is as follows:

expressonism

art nouveau

Black and White

Story Continued

So these next panels will be pertaining to the upcoming war that was mentioned in the first story post.

 The army of is going to war against the invading armies of Erebus. Basha out for an early morning flight sees the army heading towards the city and races back to tell the emperor. Though the floating capital city will be safe the surrounded cities are in great danger and the emperor gives the order to prepare for war. The Erebus people have been a threat for a long time and now the tension between the two nations has finally snapped.

 After many weeks of small skirmishes to protest the small cities and towns surrounding the capital city the armies are ready for the final fight. The armies meet on an opened field in the valley below the floating capital city of Raya. The armies charge one another a great battle ensues. Basha fights on the front tines and skillfully slays the many foes in her way as she aims for the Erebus armies General Marbas. She reaches him and after a great battle she, along with her friend Cyril, a member of the Royal guard defeats him and are praised as heroes by the kingdom and Basha gets her place in the Royal guard like she had always dreamed.

 The order of the panels are as follows: (planned but not final, things may change)

1 The sighting of the invading army – black and white

2 the emporer is told – cubism

3 the armies meet – expressionism

4 the fight with Marbas – art nouveau

5 the victory / celebration – pop

about the last post:

sorry about the orientation issue. The bottom two panels are meant to be together so all of the panels will be in the landscape format . The first one has color now and will be posted soon.

First two panels for final

Here is the planned color scheme and reference for the art Nouveau piece. (Piece by Alphonse Mucha)

 

 

Here is the Art Nouveau panel. I’m sorry the color is still missing but its been a hectic week but I am working on that now. The picture above is what my colors will look like. I was thinking about adding a border since I looked through the art Nouveau pieces online again and realized many of them had borders. Not sure what plant motif to go with on the inside but i will look into it some more.

Now for this one I wasn’t sure whether to make these two different panels or combine them to just one. They would either be finished in the B&W style or in the B&W and then cubism styles. I was hoping you could give your opinion to help me diecide which one to do. I know the lines aren’t finished on one but i will be finishing them today or tomorrow and reposting them.

There are still some things that need to be worked out and fixed but this is what I’ve got so far.

Character Story

In the land of Accalia it is considered a great honor to be part of the royal guard. To defend the lives of the king and his family form any threat that might try to reach them. It was the same for Basha, she dreamed of nothing more than to move from her place as a captain in the regulars to a member of the royal guard.

Basha is the daughter of a well known blacksmith and a member of the winged race in the land of Accalia. As a captain in the military she does everything by the book and does everything to follow and uphold the law. She is proud and young and spends most of her time training to make her dream of joining the Royal Guard a reality.  She trains harder and longer than her fellows and does everything possible to get noticed by the captain of the Royal Guard and be chosen to join him and his knights. She is too determined to let this dream slip from her grasp and sees that this upcoming war will be just what she needs to prove herself and become a member of the Royal Guard that she so dreams to be.

This story is still subject to change but please comment if you have any ideas.
