01.05.09 -- Quetzalcoatl and colour (2/3)

WHAT I HAVE DONE TODAY:
I stuck in the little doodles of Quetzalcoatl in pure watercolour that I did last week to test out his form and fluidity, as well as his colour scheme, last week. This was an interesting experiment, as I didn't want all three characters to be brought about by the same method. Instead I have two characters drawn simply in pencil first and then coloured, and one where the colours formed the character. However, because all three were based off of Gods and I had distinct colour schemes in mind inspired from old Aztec depictions of these Gods, this differing process didn't matter so much. Though I did prefer the process I went through with Tezcatlipoca and the woman moreso.

Also, I went through and added colour to all my sketches, splashing on ink and colour pens and oil pastel to realise which was the most appropriate medium to work in for his project, and annotated all my findings. So now have completely final ideas for Tezcatlipoca and the woman ready to start their final digital images.

WHAT I WILL DO TOMORROW:

As I will not be in college tomorrow I won't be able to finish Quetzalcoatl's pages, but I will instead start working on the digital images and research for the final merchandising and promotional aspect of the project.
