    TASK

    Project 1: Pre-Production

    I'm not into GOT, yet. But, I'm into fantasy and used to be obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons. So, I did some research on GOT and yeah, I decided to base this project off GOT. 

    Fig. 3.1, Moodboard

    I made composition sketches & each tells a different story from the protagonist's perspective. However, I ended up with 3 compositions. Anyways these are the sketches.

    Fig. 3.2, Sketches

    I kept the first composition but decided to scrap the rest. From that, I developed 2 other composition and add a little bit of value on it.

    Here is the final compilation for project 1.

    REFLECTIONS

    This project helped me understand the importance of the pre-production stage in digital matte painting. Instead of jumping straight into rendering, I learned how research, moodboards, and composition sketches are essential in building a strong visual narrative. Looking into Game of Thrones also pushed me to study an art direction that I was unfamiliar with and apply its atmosphere to my own work.
