The above is the application of simple graphic brushes.

WEEK02 - Generating Idea With Prompt Matrix

First, determine the time, place and characters involved.

 

Choose three out of the five character scenarios for your creation.

Make changes to the sketches of the characters in the design layout.

Thus, three of them were selected to engage in painting creation.

Sketch of Creation One:

    1. The bear wearing a McDonald's hat--Pooh Bear

Source of creative inspiration

Character setting:

This little bear mainly adopts the original work of British author A.A. Milne, "Winnie the Pooh". It has an infinite love for honey and always feels that it can't eat enough. Combined with McDonald's pictures, the little bear wears a hat with the McDonald's logo.

2.The Witch Elie

Draft drawing:

Source of creative inspiration:

Character setting:

The name is Lia Lumina ,race is Half-Light Elf. Lia works as an apprentice in a magic workshop, repairing enchanted tools.

Unknown to most, both light and shadow forces are watching her closely — her inner power, the Twin Radiance, could either restore balance or bring eternal darkness.

The rune on her apron seals this immense energy.

3.Lazy sheep

The character Lazy Goat from Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf was created to represent the diversity of personalities within a community. His laziness symbolizes the human desire for comfort and ease, while his kindness shows that imperfection can also be lovable. Through humor and contrast, Lazy Goat reminds us that taking life slowly is sometimes its own kind of wisdom.
