For this assignment I plan to make a diorama with a few layers of environment/buildings and a layer of a gigantic character at the center. I tried sketching Ultraman Jack and Shin Godzilla and I’m thinking of going with the Godzilla one.
Shin Godzilla is one of my favorite films because of its sociopolitical insights and commentary, plus the design of the titular monster from the movie is very memorable, not to mention tokusatsu (suitmation shows or movies involving special effects like Ultraman, Godzilla and Kamen Rider) is one of my favorite media genres.
How do you plan to show depth with the buildings?
I would apply darker colors to the buildings in the back to do that.
What is your plan for the material you will use?
I plan to use separate plywood pieces for each individual element and color them afterwards.
If you are still going with the Godzilla one, what made you decide to pick Godzilla?
Shin Godzilla is one of my favorite films because of its sociopolitical insights and commentary, plus the design of the titular monster from the movie is very memorable, not to mention tokusatsu (suitmation shows or movies involving special effects like Ultraman, Godzilla and Kamen Rider) is one of my favorite media genres.
What is your plan for digitizing this sketch?
I plan to draw the buildings and Godzilla separately in Clip Studio paint by tracing the pencil sketch in it, then I’ll use trace bitmap in inkscape.
How many layers do you plan on including?
Do you plan on making the fire breath on the same layer as the Godzilla?
