Concept for style of Painting

This is a little late, but I wanted to include it as a sort of style guide for the graffiti part of the film. Using some work from a german artist called Anus One as a basis, I took the scene where the bird confronts the smog skull and re-rendered it as a conceptual painting.

I wanted to keep a blocky line style for the characters while still retaining a sense that the characters are distinct from the background, so I used a double line of a dark colour encased in a light colour. This also lets me distinguish between characters with very little difficulty. I also figured out that the background looks better when there's no linework to clutter it up; using block colours with a slight gradient is a much more effective way of rendering the background.

the problem I have is that the background is way too busy and needs to be brought back into something simpler if I want it to work in the context of the film.

All in all, it was a good experiment.
