This was our first assignment on backgrounds. The assignment was to do a Victorian era background, focusing on an interior, exterior, and an illustration populated with characters. We also had to provide a style sheet for the characters in the illustration. One of the more entertaining aspects of the Victorian era is the steampunk genre, which is the direction I took with this project. The fun with steampunk is it combines a fantasy magical world with that of industrial age technology. I took that idea and pushed it further, creating a background for a Victorian spaceship traveling to other worlds. Even the aliens have a Victorian theme, pulling from the H.P. Lovecraft Cthulu stories. One of the parts of the assignment was to show a knowledge of perspective, using horizon and vanishing point, to showcase fore, mid, and backgrounds. I had a lot of fun with the illustration, enjoying creating characters that could fit a video game rpg, including classes like the sniper, the alchemist ( the guy holding the blue ball that they use to power everything), and the crackpot engineer that appears in the style sheet (along with his Bomb-Boy robot creation). This was another project I had a blast creating.
