the job
iv stated on my PPP blog that I found a site that if you make a membership with them you can role play as a concept artist it simulates the job as a concept artist. it uploads challenges, briefs that have been used within films and tv. here's a link to my PPP for a more detailed talk about the site
when I was looking through older challenges I found this project that was right for my practice. it has character and creature design init, a location and I could apply this to comic book and storyboard once I have done the concept for it! but this project isn't live anymore its been and the submission have been made but because I can't make it part of my live briefs I can add this to myself initiated briefs. I really need to do this project because this will give me the chance to put my practice... to practice. this will challenge me for sure .
the link to the challenge is below
below are some of the things from the challenge that i thought was important to this project. to be fair the project is very short on terms of what they are asking for but its opening the chances to use your ability and your imagination
- Directors note: “The third act of our film is stiff. The writers could use some inspiration. Lets get the Art Department to come up with some ideas for two of the scenes to help inspire them. Have them choose which they want to do and go nuts. (They don’t have to do both, pick one and make it incredible) Play up the drama and energy. No one should be playing it safe!!!!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY – “Needs to be something we have never seen before. You know, but definitively Star Wars…”
- Design, develop and present images you feel best represents your skills. There is no minimum or maximum—just amaze us. Based on the previous challenges you should know what to do. Integrate some of your designs into your scenes. Remember… a strong story idea is a foundation to powerful emotional imagery. If time is critical then focus on something in the scenes that inspires you … play to your strengths.
- Choose a moment from one of the scenes to explore
Sunlight streams into the dingy drinking hole. Drunk
regulars slouch over drinks – lost in thought and in
themselves. An alien snores in the corner. A BAR MAID wipes
a chipped stein.
FIVE FIGURES gamble at a back table. Old friends, CRAX,
URU, YOT, TAR KEN, MYX DUR, - varying shapes and sizes and
species - playing a game they’ve played a thousand times
over. They know each other’s tells and tricks – the cards
up their sleeves and how quick each can reach for a
blaster...
LIGHT BLARES FROM AN OPEN DOOR into the darkest corners –
the regulars flinch. The door closes as they turn to glare
at the intruder.
A HOODED FIGURE SITS at the edge of the bar. Eyes give him
a once over – but quickly refocus on the drinks at hand.
Hooded Figure signals the Bar Maid with a nod - she leans
in with a smile – he whispers into her ear – her face
falters and she turns to the taps.
She trays up five glasses and saunters across the bar – a
sight for sore eyes with her six long legs – to our Five
Figures.
BAR MAID
Drinks for ya.
CRAX
‘Bout time. On the house?
BAR MAID
You wish.
URU
Oh, from you then?
BAR MAID
You wish even more. From your
new friend. She gestures to Hooded Figure. He nods and raises a glass
of his own. The Five Figures exchange glances – and reach
for the drinks...
They raise their glasses - move to drink –
HOODED FIGURE
It’s almost too easy.
They swallow and sputter.
CRAX What is? HOODED FIGURE
Killing you...
He swallows his own drink. The Five Figures tense... the air
hangs thick...
The Hooded Figure removes his hood – REVEALING: MANU GRIT –
a BOUNTY HUNTER.
MANU GRIT
(winking)
...If I wanted to.
CRAX
Manu Grit, old friend. I thought
you were dead.
MANU GRIT
You certainly tried your best. I
always figured you for a
backstabber but kidnapping too?
Nice touch.
URU
Never send an alien to do an
assassin’s job.
YOT
You’ve blown your surprise.
The Five Figures stand...

E
TAR KEN
Should’ve poisoned us when
you had the chance.
They fan out around the table, hands on their weapons...
MANU GRIT
Poison is a waist of a good
drink. Plus, don’t want to
ruin this little lady’s
business with a bad reputation.
He winks at the Bar Maid – she sneers.
BAR MAID
Save it, honey. I side with
my regulars.
She throws flashes a thigh revealing a holstered blaster.
MANU GRIT
I get it. Can’t say no to a loyal
customer. CRAX
Enough chit-chat. What’s your
plan now, Grit? Shoot us all?
MANU GRIT
If you say so.
He draws his weapon – FIRES!

for me to get an idea how i should approach this project iv broken it down into parts. this is just parts iv not included research and everything because that's just a given now.
1. characters for the bar (creating the characters)
2. the bar(location creating)
3.illustrating the scene
4.storyboard the script above
5.make the script into a comic strip
doing the extra storyboarding and comic stuff allows me to explore a real brief but in the situation of storyboard artists and a comic artists also give me more pages that could be possibly added to my portfolio.
best part of this project it says THINK STAR WARS! i know where my research is starting...sorry Georgie.
below my proposel
