Tyler Rodriguez – Prototype 2

Unfortunately, I was unable to come to class and show off a prototype for the second portion, due to illness. While I didn’t have a physical prototype, I was able to do a bit more research on the stylistic approach I wanted to do for my project. A lot of my research mostly pertained to the mythology of the characters I wanted to portray rather than stylistic approaches. So I decided to research a bit more by watching different media and seeing how they stylize character. In particular, I decided to watch a lot of the show Samurai Jack. I really love how the characters use very limited outlining and how most of the characters are made from very simple shapes. Specifically the first scene of the first episode was very interesting. It was a montage of Jack growing up and learning fighting styles from cultures all over the world. Each culture had a unique approach and color scheme. This gave me the idea that I should differentiate the characters from each culture, but still develop a unifying style that is recognizable as my own.
