Endangered Animals
Building on from the endangered animals as characters I went onto the WWF website to try and find a list of threatened animals to chose from. I thought it would be best to chose animals that reflected the nature of the songs I would be illustrating. I've still to decide on my final six songs so at this point I just want animals that I think would be able to reflect the vulnerability of the tracks.
It made sense to have a few of my animals be herbivores, I felt that they seemed most at risk and vulnerable compared to some of the carnivores. However the inclusion of some carnivores//omnivores would be beneficial for the sake of visual diversity, as well as maybe representing some of the tracks that are less sad and just more lofi//ambient.
Rhino Drawings; Tone of Voice
I started drawing the Sumatran Rhino so that I could begin investigating visual language of these chosen animals. Watching videos of the rhinos from the wild helped getting a sense of weight and shape of this species, I wanted to break them down into shape driven images so they could be better translated to 3D pieces. I'm very conscious of making the animals too anthropomorphic at this point though, the addition of clothing didn't suit the tone of voice I was going for. The characters still needed that animal element of vulnerability; maybe things need to get more stripped back for the images to work best? I don't want the images to just look like Animal Crossing characters, they needed that Charlotte Mei // Rosie Brand expressive sculpture element to them.
