Cecil's Journey Rough

Description

So, want to know what's going to be keeping me from really working on SD Yongary for a bit? My first ever Commission that's what =D.

So what is it? Its a DvD cover for TyrantisTerror's epic stop motion movie called 'Cecil's Journey to the Heart of Darkness'. Like with the other massive project I did awhile ago, I'm sketched this out on a small drawing pad so I could get my bearings on what exactly I want to do with the bloody thing and check if its going in the right direction. A preview if you well, much like the DA Villain's Club ID I did.

When I got the basic blue print, I took a good hard look at it and thought: Lord Morkial needs to do something up top. From there it spiraled into this epicness you see here. I originally wanted Morkial to be having his hands around the title and have his head hovering over it but that would be putting a little too much emphasis on him and it's kinda cramped up there. So I had him do a sinister backwards turn instead and have the cyclops which has immediate ties to Morkial, reaching for the title and looking all fearsome and intimidating. Hah-zah.

Down below I had to feature the three main good guys: Cecil, Gravatak, and the lovely Arrowyn. Cecil being the main protagonist gets center stage of course but one problem...he's short. So I perched him on a rock with a Lewis and Clark like pose. Its both epic and funny. Gravatak was something of a frustration. His body came out fine but his eye...I tired to make it look bored as per usual and it came out stoned instead. I hope I can fix this come final. Arrowyn is my best attempt at a pretty girl next door with a heart of fire. She came out pretty good I'd say.

Now the cast on the side. Good supporting cast on the left in descending order of appearance and the antagonist cast on the right in ascending order of ass kicking. I started out with the villain side as I figured that Orogon needed to be near Arrowyn for relevance. He's my best attempt at chiseled Paladin with a streak of crazy. Then there's one of the dwarves and then the despical mule. Made especially nasty for your convienance. On the left wee have the eye patch dude, I thought he was kinda cool, then the goblin with the shades, also cool, then of the course the warboss guy who I forgot the name of of. He's pretty important.

Its all set with a forest background heightened further with the falling leaves. I'd assume spring or something since the movie has predominat greens and I was told to go green so that will come up later. Basically my final opinion of this thing amounts to 'Tim Burton meets Disney and their daughter gives Ray Harrihausen a lap dance'. Oh yeah, and the text will be hand drawn but thats not what it will look like. By god it will be cleaner I swear. I also decided to make it even more fantastic with the extra bit of the title literally tacked on with a nail...and blood.

So, what do you all think eh?
