For this project, I was thinking of creating a narrative through still images and maybe animating them into a gif. The type of style I am thinking of creating is an editorial illustration. I am still unsure if I will creating them in order for it to be placed in a magazine or newspaper, however, the idea is on my mind.
Some of the artists who are visually inspiring and in a way similar to the type of illustrations I am currently doing are:
Abbey Lossing
Bruno Mangyoku
Malika Favre
Thomas Danthony
Tom Haugomat
Whether it was the colour scheme they used or style of art, it caught my eye. There are a couple of gifs which I found interesting and thought about doing, where it was 5 seconds long but on a loop to show continue movement.
Thomas Danthony work was the one that stood out the most, as he follows a colour scheme that tells a narrative through the use of colour and tones. He also positions the images in a way that is aesthetically pleasing for the eye, they are not all front and centre, but rather different viewpoints from different positions, making the audience feel as if they are a part of the narrative. The French artist characterises his work in a clever way by the use of light, bold compositions and a dose of mystery.
