A Sketch Of A Possible Design For The Crown Princess For My Current Project, George.

While thinking Danielle/Cloé, I was wondering why she never felt right as a metaphorical sunflower. I always knew it would be important to her character, but it never felt right. It was while focusing on Jiro that I realised that Danielle/Cloé isn’t the sunflower, Jiro is. While Danielle/Cloé is the sun itself.

So here is Jiro with his fellow sunflowers, me trying to capture the happy and bright but soft gentle-ness and sincerity of his personality.

Happy Family

This is Katniss, Peeta, and their kids, Willow and Rye. I got the idea from my friend's parents, who when they go on a date or spend time with each other they prefer to do it with their kids a.k.a. as a family and I really liked that idea. So in the spirit of Valentine's day, here is Peeta and Katniss having a date with their kids.

Also, I know Katniss didn't want kids but she did say she was happy when she held her child in her arms. I know Peeta has bangs but I don't think he'd keep them into adulthood hahaha. To me he looks like a total dad here hehehe

Part 6/6 - The Kingdom of Florin

      Part 1 - The Family | 2 - Style | 3 - The Sicilian Assassins | 4 - Buttercup and Westley | 5 - The Prince and the Count

The seat of power for the Kingdom of Florin is a Military Fortress built on top of a seaside cliff.

Instead of elegant Gothic spires which was popular during the 15th and 16th century, Florin Castle is a bulky and imposing fortress reflecting the Military nature of the country, its simple people, Buttercup’s prison-like experience, and its ruler — Prince Humperdinck.

One of the challenges I encountered for the castle design was keeping the colours saturated enough to match the palette of the project while keeping the emotional geography of “prison” in tact. Although a violet palette was explored, the red brick that is common in Northern European architecture gave a more militaristic no frills impression that is more in line with the Kingdom and its Prince.

After many sketches, I realised that a country celebrating its 500th anniversary would probably have a castle built far before the current century. So incorporating a bulkier Romanesque style Keep as the castle’s foundation is what finally made things come together and give it a solid direction. Since Florin is a Militaristic state, it would make sense for them to continually be making Military advances, so one of the Castle’s most recent evolution/natural progression is a towards a very early prototype of a Bastion Fort. This makes Florin castle the most advanced, secure, and fortified structures in the land while upping the stakes for the infiltration during the near end of the series.

Fun Fact! While looking for references of Danish Castles, I came across an old map of Kronborg Castle. (Just google "old map of Kronborg castle", you'll see it right away) I thought it looked super familiar and I realised that it actually looked very similar to the layout of the Map of Florin and Guilder! So I included the bonus map I was required to submit.

To Sleep with You.

Looking Up.

I don’t know what 2018 is going to bring, but I hope it brings us all closer to where we’re meant to go.

I figured I might as well post my quick studies.
