Jungle Inspiration

Everyone's boards were looking pretty f'n sweet yesterday - Monday's final results should be interesting to see.

As we work on developing a style for our characters we should also keep in mind a style for our locations as well. "Semi-realistic" is a good term for a start but defining it further so that everyone in the group is developing the same basic location would be ideal. this would create the feeling of all the scenes being in the one jungle - just in different locations within it.

Here are a few samples of plant life found within jungles. Feel free to use any of it - just keep in mind everything is HUGE - even the plants that look little on this page are actually rather large.

I also took some snapshots of the Gobelins' film Voodoo for inspiration for everyone. The layouts in this film are great at creating the illusion of depth and mystery of a jungle.


Please don't steal or copy from these pics - they are here to look upon for inspiration only.















Even during fast action scenes there should be a feeling of these elements within the shot. Even when blurred you can still get a sense of location..





I hope this helps or at the least inspires some of you - jungles can be somewhat of a pain to draw - creating something less generic can be even more a pain.

Later Daze!
