2D Class Week 13 Lighting 2

For this week, we are doing another piece focused on lighting. This time I chose my Urbosa amiibo from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Final piece of Urbosa's upper half

Due to time constraints, I could not complete the piece or polish some areas, but I am still happy with how it turned out.

2D Class Week 11 Composition Part 02

For this week, I chose this early scene from Alien:

To create this new composition piece:

I feel this piece satisfies an L or Rectangle composition, but it may also or otherwise satisfy a Thirds layout.

My previous piece used Circular composition.

Luc Besson.
Luc Besson has also directed Lucy, Léon: The Professional, and the French animated Arthur series of films.

Gary Oldman

2 Artistically, what did you like about this film?

I liked the children's interpretation of the Walker figure and the nuclear apocalypse and how they preserved that knowledge.

3. Who runs Bartertown?

Aunty may be the face of Bartertown and creates the rules, but Master controls it behind the scenes. Bartertown cannot exist the way it does without Master's engineering knowledge on methane harvesting.

2D Class Week 08 Basic Shapes and Shape Language Part 2

2D Class Week 08 Film - Blade Runner

1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced?

     Ridley Scott; Alien, Legend (1985), Thelma & Louise, Prometheus, The Martian


2. Artistically, what did you like about this film?

     I enjoyed the plausible depiction of a futuristic city. The city was not overblown with technological advancements, pollution or crime.


3. Was Deckard a replicant?

     Yes. Partway through the film, Deckard dreams about a unicorn and at the end of the film he spots an origami unicorn made by an associate police officer outside his apartment. This suggests the thought of the unicorn running was an implanted memory that Tyrell was experimenting with. That said, Deckard seems less durable and less coordinated than the replicants he was hunting for.
