Sketches
This is a selection of sketches that were the first step into the brainstorming process for this project before moving on to digital work to flesh out the story. This initial foray into the project brought forth the idea that most, if not all, of the other characters in the story would be based on animals.
Concept Roughs
These are the original digital concept images created while brainstorming for this project. The concepts show the basic structure of how Scales the Dragon and were an attempt to make the dragon look fun and lovable.
Typography and Title
The title for this project is The Dragon Knight misAdventures. As the style for this project was developed, I decided to create a handmade alphabet and use the created letters as the main font for the project. Below you can see sketches of three different font styles tested with the title text. Of the three options, the image on the right was chosen.
Then as the project moved into Illustrator, I created each letter individually until the whole alphabet was complete. This would allow for more freedom of expression and for more words in this style to be created if needed.
More Soon.
