Research Project Script Proposal:
For think and create project this year, I am wanting to create the base and foundations for starting up a comic for one of my major story ideas,
I am wanting to do this as I have been planning on making a few comics for ages, The story Cross Destiny, the one I am planning to create has been with me since high school, this was one of my driving comic ideas and the first of my list of my many stories I wish to make into comics and this will go in line with getting one started,
The story I am wanting to delve into for this project, Cross Destiny, which in short Is about a teenage boy who comes across a dimension traveling dragon, they travel to various dimensions together, facing challenges that will test their personalities. They will face interesting enemies such as dragon hunters, demons and other dragons, the base of the story line will be laid out with a hint to something bigger laying on the horizon the the story.
I am wanting my project to include character sheet of the main characters and any important side characters including basic bio’s for each of them. With this i will add concept art of various dragon species, background characters, world, background and creatures that will live within my story. If I am capable I want to create a few short animation of my characters interacting and moving around as I feel it helps the audience become more intrigued the characters seeing how they move and breathe.
I am going to avoid writing down the plot or using characters that would spoil the plot of the story as I filly intent to use this as a future comic series and want to avoid spoiling major plot lines, this however will not bring down the quality as the universe of Cross Destiny has plenty to offer so I can achieve this without spoiling anything good.
The equipment and tools I need for this will be the following, Photoshop for main drawings, profiles, backgrounds and editing anything that will require so, I do want to mess around on Zbrush to see If I can create something interesting from the program for my research, Toon Boom will play a part as I have stated that I want to create small animations of the characters in my story, the videos, however, will only last a couple of seconds, following that I will need Adobe Export to convert the films into video form along as gif form as I am wanting to upload some of the shorts to my deviant art.
For the set up of my overall project, I will require a T.V screen for viewing the short films and stills of the characters, a wall to stick the Bio’s and various concept art to, and a table for additional portfolios of concept art such as backgrounds, characters, doodles, and lore for the world I am creating.
