For the project I decided to do short stories of characters
based on myth and legends but made up, create something new and unheard of
before to make up new tales of spirits, heroes, deities and animals. Creating
something unheard of would require research and source of information to build
characters and their backgrounds. It’s important to look at something that
inspires my imagination, like people, sceneries, objects and animals to know how they
would look like. Without that they would look pointless.
So to make up ideas I needed to find some ideas to build
them up, look into other folklore and legends from various cultures. Take notes
that would work for my illustrations and write the stories. It’s best to make
sure that the stories have some connections to build a fictional world.
Taking notes for the characters I’m illustrating for each of
them so that I know what I’m doing. Look into books, galleries, books,
locations and films that are great sources for fantasy folklore.
While researching on myths and legends, drawing at the time
would help build the ideas up over time, thinking of doing ten to be a start,
making sure each of my illustrations have a fair amount of time to work with
then doing one thing after the other.
What I plan to do for the module to be what I wanted, I’m
making it into a book, either have one side to have the illustration and the
other page with the story but can mend them together. Keeping a balance between
writing and illustration. So as to show some work in the first few days before
moving on to developing them on computer but use both versions, with the
original all sketches to see how they look, compared to each other.
It will need the type of paper for publishing to look
professional so I would be experimenting on the quality papers and to make a
cover and title which are most important for a book to have.
