Inspiration

After researching i then went on to look at illustrators to try and find inspiration for a style that i wanted for my work. I got an illustration book over the holidays which has some really great images and i then took their names and searched them on the internet to get more of their work.

I enjoyed looking at different illustrators as some their work is amazing and really inspired me and got me really interested and helped me get an idea of what style that i wanted. The reason i picked out these illustrators in particular was because i first looked at Miki Amanos work and she uses a lot of patterns in her work and that made me think of all the patterns in the palace of versailles. I liked her use of flat colours as well as using patterns which makes the patterned areas stand out more. I also really liked the pen like outlining to the image as well as it makes it feel like a drawing as well as a digital image. I then went on to try and find illustrators that used the same kind of style. Christian Barthold images i really liked as well and liked his line work in his images like where he adds swirls to the image and how he only colours part of the image not all. Finn Campbell-Notman's image i like because the style of it is a bit more old fashioned which i think would work for the script and again he uses the sketchy outline. I wanted a kind of contrast in my design but still work together as i wanted the spaceship, doctor and assitant to be more modern in style whereas at the place of versailles, rennette and the droid i'd like to be old fashioned. Which is why i looked at some illustrations done by delicatessen who doesn't use outline and just uses flat colour though im not sure whether this style would blend well with the other so would have to experiment. And Oliver Kugler who uses the outline that the others used but it looks more comic booky in style.

From looking at these illustrators im going to take aspects of their styles in particular using patterns, flat colour and an outline on top to make it look like a drawing. i think this style would work both ways looking modern and old fashioned.

I looked at tapestrys, fabrics and patterns of that time period to help me with my design.


































I also thought about colours that i would use in my design i wanted the spaceship to be very luminous in colour and the palace to be more browns and golds and rich colours but to be more toned down compared to the spaceship.
