Here's a quick progression from where we were at last week. We started planning on what we needed to pit into a narrative to make it coherent: Hunters, dogs, fox escaping. From this we started to make a few visuals in the format we'd want to work with. The trees and the background work really nice, but we both agreed that with character we needed more detail than just the very basic origami shapes, otherwise the characters sort of become the background and it's a series of coloured shapes rather than a narrative.
With that in mind, I added some texture in the form of line detail with an orange pen as well as using white and black paper to create the foxes features:
We also added a frame, that was in a collection of old things that vickie had, that I thought would be ideal for putting into the composition, giving it a very 'English-heritage' out in the country-side kind of feel to the work, and we used a script font to fit this. Taking this to the crit with Graham, we got to main bits of feedback: Aesthetically, it was good and pleasing to the eye and the detail levels worked and stuff, however it wasn't funny, it wasn't edgy enough.
Witht hat in mind, we reverted to another idea we had, about the hunters being turned on by the foxes, with this in mind we have to start making extremely quickly with only a week left and it being a very lengthy process.
