Final Assignment, Part 1 – Sal Mindiashvili

November 29, 2020 / / 0 Comments

For my final project, I was inspired to choose the story the Ant and the Grasshopper by Aesop (http://read.gov/aesop/052.html). This fable describes how a hungry grasshopper begs for food from an ant when winter comes and is refused because while the ant was working hard during the fall season preparing for the winter, the grasshopper was playing the violin and did not seem to care about a thing.

The change I will be making to this story is the setting. Instead of some field out in the wild, I will be placing my characters in New York City. The ant will still be a hard working guy and the grasshopper will be the one not planning ahead. The demographic for my proposed book will be children living in New York aged 7-10.

Tight sketch:

Cleaned up piece, fixes need to be made in: the neck, feet, and points in which the “smoke” connects to the figure.

Final Fixed Art:

Fixes made to the feet, orientation of the hand, the smoke, and neck 🙂

Color Comps:

For my color comps I knew early on that I wanted to go with a more simple color pallet. I knew that with the shapes and overlapping figures that it would be best to stay away from harsh pattern or colors. Early on, I realized that I needed to incorporate Bangladesh more heavily into my design as the focus of my article was violence to women in Bangladesh specifically. In my first color comp I made the cliff the map of Bangladesh territory, however, the colors felt a bit straining to the eyes and too busy. For my next piece I enjoyed the addition of the Bangladesh flag, yet the black was very overwhelming as well as the background pattern. For my last color comp I toned down the color of the background and gave it a slight texture but I felt my choice of saturating the red in the flag was too jarring.

Final Color Piece:

For my final piece I have desaturated the colors of the Bangladesh flag and upped the “violence” aspect of the illustration. Since my piece is focused on domestic violence against women in Bangladesh I decided to add bruise marks in prominent areas such as the legs and around her eye. I also added hints of red to her knuckles and feet to better illustrate strain. It was important to me to make sure the theme was represented best, which is why I kept the shading to just her (keep her as the center of attention).
