The work includes ideation and work in progress for Marc’s illustrative entry into Sketch Theatre.com’s “Dragon Rider’s” Competition, further ideation for a new personal project in the works, more mech concepts and updates made in improving Marc Forza Design’s online presence.
Marc’s illustration is intended to capture a fierce battle between two dragon warrior clans mounted on their respective dragons. A glimpse of the final composition can be seen in a few of the thumbnail ideations shown that paints the scene of the foreground’s dragon warrior clan, mounted upon a two-headed dragon with one head biting into the neck of the opposing dragon warrior clan’s dragon, in addition with both clans engaged in a deadly firefight skirmish. The illustration is obviously still in progress, but it’s outcome will be shown next week.
The second piece of work is ideation (top right page scan of ideation work - 4 sketches along the bottom) for a new personal narrative in progress. The theme is “Close and Cherished Bonding”. In addition to the thumbnails for this project (that you have all seen this procedure repeated in previous posts that serve to first provide a brief understanding of what the aesthetic of the given narrative will be), spotlighted for the first time is the other crucial element used by Marc Forza Design in the pre-production phase of any project is a mindmap.
Mindmap - Narrative Idea #4 - "Close and Cherished bonding"Conceptualised and theorised by Tony and Barry Buzan, this method of thinking, helps to consolidate one’s thoughts and ideas towards a single intended goal or outcome. Particularly, shown above are two of the mindmaps that Marc is developing and attempting to fulfill (apologies for the poor quality images. This will be corrected for next time). This procedure is beneficial when working, in that it doesn’t waste mental energy and time.
The third piece involved some more mech ideation (bottom right page scan of ideation work - 3 sketches from the bottom up) following the procedure used by the illustrious Scott Robertson. This involves applying light marker to create a silhouette of the design and then using pen or pencil over top of it to add in the details. This is a fairly quick process to facilitate fast and fresh ideas and was interesting to experiment with. Scott shares his design methods and secrets on you his youtube channel at:
