msconcepcion2 - Art 333 Digital Sketchbook p2

During the beginning of the project, I was starting to thinking about what kinds of backgrounds that I could possibly make for Sez's Quest. I originally had 3-4 detailed backgrounds but John and Eli wanted them to be simple. and not too overwhelming that the character gets lost inside. So, I decided to make some sketches as you can see at the bottom of the "simple" backgrounds.

I wasn't entirely too sure where to go from for a little bit. I started adding meaning to the artwork in some way by adding a cultural aspect to the background that sez travels in as well as his costume. Questions that got to my attention were: How does Sez look like ? Fr. what time period, etc... I met up with John more to try and vnision what he wants. When we started to get closer to the final due date, roles in the design department got switched or was more geared up to what we had an interst/skill in. I was now working character animations Before I drew what Sez would have initially looked like. I wanted to do that so I could refer back to the sketches if I got stuck on how the motions looked like.
