Monuments - Visual Development Sketches

"As an explorer was sent into an mysterious, overgrown world finding ruins of an ancient civilization he begins to see the world with different eyes. "

A visual development for an 2-D animated short film. The Focus lies on the stylization of nature and the places, which the protagonist comes across. His fantasies and impressions, his change from the factual view of an explorer to and inebriated mindset of exploration.

These are additional sketches and illustrations done for my visual development project. You can find more illustrations in the other post, where there are more finalized illustrations.
Influences have been Eyvind Earle, Wayne Thiebaud and Moebius. I wanted to combine a graphical and an illustrative style to symbolize the change the main protagonist goes through in the way he sees the world.

This is an ongoing project, I would love to explore the topic further and nail down the story more and finaly realize the shortfilm.

Enjoy! :D
