Work influenced by the last few posts

Images from the book and my sketchbook

Here is some work I have created influenced by images from Where the Wild Things Are. As you can see from the amount of posts i've posted on this its been a huge influence on me this summer!

I used different piles of fur to create different textures on the animals and I really think they work together well to create a subtle contrast. 

I have discovered through these experiments that I really like the contrast between the different piles of fur rather than the different colours of fur together.

I have also started messing around with design concepts but I haven't got anything that I think would really work as a concept so far. Hopefully I'll manage to work out some concepts that work from the images in the book and film and be able to work it all out. 

Where the Wild Things Are part 3

This is an image taken from my research book.

Nearly at the end of my posts about this! 

This is my ultimate favourite quote from the film and therefore it deserves an entire post!

This quote is from the film version of Where the Wild Things Are and it is said by the beasts when Max decides to get in his boat and leave the animals. They totally confuse their emotions like children and confuse their sadness with anger. They do not know how to express themselves which is the recurrent theme throughout the movie and they threaten to eat Max as this is the only way they know how to express their emotion, they are so taken over by love they want to consume and absorb it. 

I can relate to this as I often get this overwhelming surge of emotions, but it definitely doesn't make me want to eat people! It just makes me want to cuddle people really! All in all it sums up the innocence of childhood emotions again.

This quote made me think of the swirls and the pattern around the quote as I like how the emotions in the movie make you go through highs and lows and round in circles again. I used the different colours to represent the mishmash of characters and textures within the movie. 

Thats the last of my posts on this movie but if you haven't seen it yet it's a must! On a dark winters night get snuggled up with a hot chocolate and indulge in this fantasy world.
