Concept: FMP Characters & Backgrounds

Wednesday, 2 July 2008



Media: PhotoshopCS2
Products: Character and background concept for Final Major Project.



The 'Cafe du Soliel' cast; brightly coloured and elaborated outfits to portray the 'sunnier' side of serving, "Service with a sunny smile" After all. These were the concepts and guides in helping to produce the comics.


The 'Cafe de Lune' Cast had a much duller tonal range, with the exception of the lead character's streak of blonde hair (cresent moon). "Comfort in coldness" was the motto as I had plans to produce the cafe location alongside a back alley in the centre of Paris, where is is indeed, after my trip there, to be dank and quite grim.



The location of Cafe du Soliel is from my experiance around the North of Paris in Sacre-Couer. Where everything was on a slant and every building looked different from the other. Plus the weather was lovely up there and you could see everything from that height.

Cafe de Lune's location was changed from inside a small alley to outside along a road. Being in the centre of Paris, there was thousands of cafes, that all looked the same on the exterior; which was rather depressing. I kept this in my theme with dull colours and the only thing to stand out would be the signs, to suggest something more different inside.


The interiors was used as a guide to help me mark out what would be included in the comic. Sun Cafe was based heavily on a resturant I visited one evening which was incredibly spacious and so friendly. There were around 10-15 drawings of the layout plan and how it would look in draft form in the concept sketchbook.



Cafe's in the centre of Paris are very cramp; lots of tables and chairs pilled in with very little room to move about. I should know, I was stuck between two tables with four freinds, and the trouble we had to get out was impossible. The Lune Cafe's interior was to differ from this to be big inside and also a second floor were in plans to be a place to study, like a coffee lounge, with a huge cresent moon table. This sadly never came into the story and was left.
