Task 3


Task 3 Analysis

The artists I chose to replicate the artworks of are Hirohaki Araki and Jack Kirby. I replicated the cover of Volume 28 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders and the cover of Volume 1 of the Amazing Spiderman Omnibus. I made sure to plan ahead on what artworks to replicate. I made sure to do one example of western artwork and one example of Japanese artwork. To create the replications, I used regular pencils and pencil crayons. I did the drawings in my sketchbook. I tried just looking closely at the artworks and copying them down onto the paper. Not really much other techniques used. While the replications aren't 100% accurate to the source material since I'm only human, I personally believe the drawings themselves are of high quality. 




The first image I tried to replicate was the cover of Volume 28 of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders manga. I feel that I have accurately portrayed the positions the characters are in and some of the other details too, such as the shading and the details on the faces. However, the hand of the character on the bottom is not the correct size. Due to this, less of the character on the top's face is covered up so I had to compensate by drawing the rest of his mouth and his jawline. Also, the colours used are not 100% accurate. and some of the shading of the character's clothing is inaccurate. I also purposefully didn't include anything from the cover apart from the two characters, since they are what I wanted to focus on.




The second image I tried to replicate was the cover of Volume 1 of The Amazing Spiderman Omnibus. I think I was able to replicate the position the characters are in quite decently and I think I copied some of the details on the characters quite well. However, the shape of Spiderman's head is noticeably thinner, while the shape of his body is noticeable thicker. The shape of the other man's head is also less sharp that it should be. While I copied some of the details well, any details revolving around the shading of colours I did not do, due to me not knowing how to properly do it as of now. Like with the last piece, I left out everything that isn't the characters.


Overall, I think I replicated the images pretty well. Though, if I could do them again, I will make sure to make the drawings themselves bolder before I colour them in, since some of the details are unrecognizable due to being drawn on too lightly. Speaking of colouring in, that is something I should work on more. I was using the incorrect technique to colour the pictures in as you can clearly tell that not 100% of the shapes were filled in. Though I do know how to colour properly now, I would have preferred it if I did so when creating these pieces.

Artist Artwork Analysis

Artist Artwork Analysis Hirohiko Araki                     Araki has a very distinct art style. The look of the character's faces looks pretty realistic compared to most other manga. The characters also have a very masculine look to them, while also appearing flamboyant due to the bright colours and extravagant poses he usually draws the characters in. Most of the art drawn by Araki is for his JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series which is well known for the usual traits of Araki's art style. However, as you can see with the image on the bottom right, that being the first manga cover of JoJo, you can tell that Araki's style didn't start off this way. The style isn't as realistic or flamboyant, but it seems rather expressive. Jack Kirby                     Jack Kirby's art style is also a relatively realistic style. His style is the style usually associated with super hero comics today. The characters he draws usua

Concept Art Analysis

Concept Art Analysis Xenoblade Chronicles The concept art here is concept art created for the 3DS port of Xenoblade Chronicles in 2015. While I cannot find who drew it or exactly when it was drawn, I can make a guess that it was drawn sometime between late 2014 and the release date of the port, that being April 2nd, 2015. The game was developed by Monolith Soft, with the directors being Koh Kojima and Genki Yokota. The company has also worked on the Xenosaga series as well as a small amount of licensed games for other brands.  The strong elements in this design are the main character Shulk with his weapon called the Monado at the front, showing off the most important character in the plot of the game as well as something else of high value to the plot, and the large amount of the colour green as well as the large open area in the distance, showing that the areas in the game are not only covered in nature, but are also large and open to explore.

Evaluation

Evaluation Research Task For my research, I feel that I have conducted a pretty good amount of research. The images that I have looked into are from media that I already know a decent amount about, so looking into the images in further detail wasn't too much of a challenge for me. To improve my work, I would like to go into further detail on the subjects I was looking in to. I had a limited amount of time to look into these, so I had to cut a few corners here and there. To improve on this next time, I will make sure to save myself enough time so I can go into more detail on the research. Design Task For the design task, I feel that I have designed a pretty decent looking character. I took inspiration from medieval armor sets and modern day firearms. I feel that I have put a good amount of detail into the design and the gear of the character. Areas that I feel could be improved are the poses of the character. The poses that I have drawn are too simplistic in my opinion
