MMSP145 - Composition Line Exercise





Perhaps I may have overcomplicated the lines for the last two compositions, but it appears to me that there are many lines that create movement for the eyes and still maintains a balance. The third image has an asymmetrical balance that contrasts the train and the figure in the far end of the overpass. Their lines, if continued, would converge in the distance and, in a way, unifies the composition.

Hero Builder Exercise

Using Hero Machine, the following three characters were created:

Dr. Knox
Vanity
Marx
Each character's costume colors can be modified to the player's liking. Their skin tone, if applicable, can also be changed. The weapons, however, are not modifiable. In their hypothetical fantasy/action-RPG setting, weapons are preset and predetermined depending on which character is chosen. The weapons are not interchangeable, so each character's play style will vary.

Dr. Knox - After a horrendous lab accident, Dr. Knox lost sight in both of his eyes and the pigments of his skin were damaged. Resulting from the accident, he has the ability to conjure up a noxious, poisonous, gelatinous sludge that enters enemy pores and poisons them to death.

Vanity - The vain daughter of Dr. Knox, who was also affected by his lab accident. Her skin turned to scales, which then solidified into a rock-like consistency. She covers up her whole body and only allows her eyes to be seen. In her belt, she keeps needles with supertoxin that neutralizes her enemies. The ring was her mother's, who died from the accident, and indicates her power/energy level. She is able to emit a paralyzing shockwave that stuns her enemies momentarily, where she may then inject her poison needles.

Marx - Marx is an aimless wanderer. He doesn't care for his past nor does he care for his future. He only deals in the moment. The scythe is his primary weapon of choice. No magical elements, just brute force--and skill gained from experience throughout his rough, grueling journey thus far. His secondary weapon also comes in handy as a melee aid, as it can be used in the manner of brass knuckles--except with deadly spikes.
