God i hope this idea for a series of paintings works?

And yes it relates to me listening to hozier AND PEAKY BLINDERS

Turning this shit into a dumb long thread about this project. Buckle up for the rest of the semester, people.

Heres my 2 written pages where i went the fuck off and spiralled into a writing prompt for a fuckin tommy shelby fanfic that i will never write because im shit at it

Heres my shitty artists proposal that most likely wont work out this way but god i hope it will

I started the previsual/thumbnails of the start of the narrative. Option 1 or 2, who knows, cuz i dont, and i may even change option 1 to be different. On the back of the drawings i wrote in further detail what the setting will be like

i think i have a good breakdown to make 6 paintings. just need to storyboard them/ make the rest of the thumbnails. once i make the thumbnails, ill make larger detailed drawings of them, so i could possibly project them onto the canvas to have an easier time with it?

Im slowly getting there with a story board. Take these shitty drawings as a place holder till i actually paint them on canvases

It has begun

Big sad brain idea: writing my artist statement like a letter from the wife to the soldier

i found a bomb ass quote to use as the opening of my artist statement
"If we go back now we shall be weary, broken-down, burnt-out, rootless and devoid of hope. We shall no longer be able to cope."
- Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on The Western Front

I? Im getting somewhere? Idk man im just testing shit out

That helps a little bit

Another evening update

And starting on the 2nd piece

My critique went really well! All my classmates are really looking forward to see the narrative play out and they like the compositions that ive drawn in my sketchbook! They also really like the colors i used and the warping perspective

Im,, slowly getting there
Next piece is the flashback scene tho so expect some different shit i guess

Im painting these at varying stages of completion because im afraid. I cannot elaborate more on that. But also im trying to keep pace with my personal schedule and actually getting these started and not doing 2 whole ass paintings in 48 hours like i did last semester.

I still need to see 1917
FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES
Also all of these scenes perspectives are getting stale and i dont know how to break away from circular/central compositions, HELP

New ideas and new changes people:
Having 5 large scale sorta establishing shots
Then 5 half sized, specific scenes???

hmmm, so i dont have enough canvases for this. told my professors that im gonna try and do this digitally now. guess im making a short comic series now huh..

flat coloring and base/loose linework of page 1. idk how many pages this will be lol.

Im zoomin to catch up. This thread is gonna pick up more speed so uh, sorry/not sorry i guess.
