More stylisation, particularly focusing on colour. I'm not so sure about the Art Nouveau influence (except in #2 where it works stylishly), but I have very much taken the emphasis on circular composition from it, which I feel is working well.
Tom noted that my work was evocative of Disney's Fantasia, which I will confess I haven't seen and brace myself for the lynch mob. I looked it up and it's definitely something I'll think about as I work.
#12 was going somewhere, but I don't know where. It kind of got lost along the way.
Fantasia! They just so remind me of these:

:-D So yes, really love these thumbnails, Meg. *thumbs up* (*thumbs down* for not having seen Fantasia but I'll let that one slide for now ;-) )
Am loving these Meg, was great seeing them take form today! Especially like #1, #2 and #8 the colours just go pow! :)
ReplyDeleteYes - No Fantasia? Someone get that crutches-clattering imbecile out of the building! :) Seriously though - (and that was a joke btw) - I love the boldness of these - but you need to max out the composition - I know these are thumbnails - but for example, number 2 feels like a fragment of a much more epic space, so why not take this thumbnail into another 16:9 canvas and explore the rest of the world at which it hints?
