This is my submission for the Tintin Cover brief. After the tutorials I made some changes to make sure the characters stood out against the background, especially their hands. I have also added some more references to scenes from the book. There is a yeti/man disappearing in the mist at the back of the compositions to work alongside the footprints in the snow as well as a cave which plays an important part of the story. I have adjusted the levels to add darker toners to the mountains at the back of the composition which helps add depth and gives the mountains more of a feeling of scale, making the landscape more imposing than it was before. i have enjoyed this brief and it has been a useful side project alongside illustrating books, it felt like an opportunity to try out ideas with more freedom and less commitment to a particular process or idea. I think it is a good idea going forward to have small personal briefs running along side larger ones as a means of testing out both idea generation and process with a end goal to act as motivation but is broad enough to allow experimentation.
