Drawings of Subject Matter

For my 5 pages of Subject Matter, I decided to give each page a specific game, as to not be confusing to the eye and allow me to sort it easily. The first page was all pictures from the "Dishonored Cinematic Trailer" which is the closest I had to a primary source. I used freeze frames of my chosen scenes and drew from that.


For another page, I decided to adapt on one of these designs to try out a range of media, for this I used watercolour, and allowed it drip down the page to give a motion/wet effect.


The second was made with the same idea, getting the closest I have to a primary source, "Thief Cinematic Trailer" these pages would also allow me to define which character in my game would be most inspired by each.


For the third, I once again used a cinematic trailer, as I knew these were the most realistic versions of the characters and scenes I will get. For this one I used "Assassin's Creed: Unity Cinematic Trailer" By this point, I had thought of a recurring theme throughout all 3 of the games and this can be clear when looking at the overall style. In the piece below, there is also signs of using a new media and style, I used biro, and much like the style of Gipi, tried to take my pen of the paper as little as possible, I did that well and believe I could incorporate it into my final design.


For my final page, I decided to go for the smaller items I might include, possibly on the back to my game cover, there was no cinematic trailer used to find these images, however I did use Google Images to get items direct from games like "The Gems" or the physical item itself, such as "The Dagger". The claw however, is not another picture and is in fact just a zoomed in portion of the dagger, so I have a better understanding of the detail on it.
