Adora + Augustus Sawyer || Concept Design and Social Image Design!
uploaded post — 30th march
Hello Everyone! This will officially be my first post on the blog, in case you are wondering who this is, it’s Felix — the new graphic designer for Atelier — popping in to give an official greeting and thanks to my cuties for involving me in their hobby! (Also for allowing me to build up my portfolio aha).
So I had thought — actually scratch that it was Toro’s idea — to explain my thoughts when creating this concept idea of Augustus/Adora which looks a lot different than the rough draft that Onix and Toro had done beforehand.
It was a design choice of mine to keep our characters faceless, it was put this way for the interest of our audience since some people prefer their own mind of imagination rather than use another person’s lenses to look at the character but in a different way. Obviously, I could have added in the characteristics of the character, but just wanted to leave it since I didn’t want to mess it up but it’s also something that has become a habit for me to not add in features since my artwork prefers to be simplistic as possible. I had changed Augustus’s hairstyle because I just didn’t like the way it looked — sue me — and it just wasn’t doing what I had wanted to do. Adora’s design was based on my interpretation of her and obviously, everyone has their own opinion on what she can look like but I wanted her to look like an empowered female. I had chosen for both of them to have a similar color scheme to — not only make my life easier when designing them — but also show the similarities between them and the differences in their characteristics.
As I always say with any of my designs, I am not the greatest graphic designer and what I had come up with almost anyone with a tablet or a mouse and computer software can create, but I like it and the way I did it. However, anyone is welcomed to create their own version of the Sawyers and submit them to us or tag us in it!
Maybe when I have enough time, I’ll come back to this and revamping it again and maybe once more ... probably a lot.
I had also added below, our current profile picture — with our name plastered onto the design in case of anyone attempting to taking credit for our design — for you all to take a peak at.
Onto the next issue is the progress of our work? I suppose you can put it like that, we are within the reaches of the final process of editing the writing and then slowly adapting code into the chapter.
We are planning to do some major overhauls of some of the events within the storyline and need to do some slight additions, a few alterations and a bit of omitting certain details. However, we hope it shouldn’t affect to much on the overall chapters we have provided.
