Title: The Chick Maturation form.
Medium: Colored Pencil
Date: 3/2/2016
So, first off I need to point out something I realized whilst scanning these.
That brown mark is some old paint that somehow got on my scanner screen, I’ll clean it off for next week, but I completely missed it and didn’t even think about it for these, I’ve been a little stretched out this week, so Art366 has just been a really quick thing for me this week. And it’ll definitely have good weeks and off weeks, life is ups and downs afterall.
Anyways, this is the first chick form from the first post this week, I wanted to refine the design and elaborate on how I concept Anima, as there are multiple steps to it. I’m pretty satisfied with this one, so it might very well become the final design for the chick, but ultimately, I quickly concept an Anima, I decide on basic features, I decide on colors, and I add factors as I go through the stages of the Anima’s maturation, that’s the first stage, some, (like this one’s) are more detailed because I’ve had the Anima idea in my head longer, whereas some are bare bones (Like the Dingo Anima) and will require a few remakes and more pages to decide on a design.
The second step involves two things, one, I look at reference photos of the anima’s base animal, in this case, these anima are loosely based on Hawks, so I wanted to add in some hawk-like features to the chick form, as, before, it looked like a chicken chick. The second step I do is add in some simplified minor features that the later maturations have, in this one’s case, I shaped the feathers in a way that it would be believable that this small chick could eventually become that blue and orange Spirit Hawk maturation OR the Thunderbird form, and EITHER of them are acceptable and believable forms for a creature to turn into. I also added on little blue marks under the eyes, which will get more detailed and larger as the Anima transitions in stages.
If I like the design at this point, I begin writing out the concept information for the anima, if I don’t like the design yet, I repeat the process or I completely throw it out (depending on how bad it is
). So, this one I liked, and I wrote out the information, partially to show you guys, but I DO actually like the anima (I would’ve done it regardless just to show the process). This is around where I start thinking of what to name my Anima, although at this point, I probably won’t have a name until I finish the final Maturation form. If you’ve been following Art366, the name scheme for Anima are original names, perhaps mythological in nature in some cases, but I create a unique name that captures the feel of the Anima, in Week 1 I did a very quick watercolor showcasing an Alserung. Alserung, weird name huh? This thing could end up being something weird like a Lacraux, or something.
Anyhow, I decide on information here, I create a set of Abilities that this Maturation form has, and I create a pool of Abilities that this Anima might have as well, (All Anima have a set of base abilities, and then 1 or 2 unique abilities that’s given to each individual Anima out of a small list, they also have a list of Flaws they can have). I decide on stat distribution, not so much in a completely rigid numeral sort of way, but in a little graph like the one I have displayed, where I decide which parameters are good and which are not. I decide on a Niche Move (Niche Moves are abilities the Anima can utilize at all times for no energy cost), An Ultimate Ability (A limited use powerful ability), and a Dodge/Block (A high cooldown ability that nullifes, negates, or reduces damage 100% of the time).
As you can see, he’s very much an Acrobatic Anima, high Agility, high Stamina, high Energy, high Dodge, he survives by outlasting the opponent, and not being hit. He’s not very offensive though, (most Acrobatic Anima rely on movement abilities, charging abilities, and building Momentum, or using Jumps or Flying abilities, and as you can see, the Chick isn’t yet capable of Flight)
