Transformers

“Transformers” by Alon Chou
 
.: Dramatic element :.
In the film, Megatron is pictured as the destroyer, and Optimus Prime as the protector. Therefore, if Optimus Prime is placed closer to the camera defense the attack, it would create the feeling of “being protected” for the audiences.
 
I was imagining: Megatron dashes out from the explosion, lunging at Optimus Prime with a crackdown. Optimus Prime is prepared for the attack; he raises his fist, slides forwards causing the ground with burning flakes, ready to give Megatron a death blow. The aim of this composition is to create a complete frame filled with drama and action.
 
Composition
To enhance the tension of the scene, I chose a radial composition that was similar to the basic perspective. The whole composition would look like an explosion itself, or an extending radiation.
 

 
Painting and Progression
On color-wise, It took me a long time to consider the color of the sky, and it also went through a lot of changes. Originally it was sky blue. However after many adjustments, the color of the sky is now closer to yellow, which makes the whole tone of the picture more unified.
 
.: Coloring :.
First I polished up the sketch a little bit, and change the position of Megatron from lower place to the higher, that’s for strengthen the feeling of crackdown in the composition.
 

 
And then painted on the base color with brush under brush mode “color”. This was to create the basic tone of the color.
 

 
Then detailing OPTIMUS PRIME preliminary, and pay attention to the reflection of the flake, it should be strengthen.
