Conclusion

To conclude my research document, all my research conducted throughout this project will influence me in some way. Through looking at animated films from Studio Ghibli and Disney, I have gained inspiration to merge two styles together, and influence on character design and environments. Looking into games also gave me some insight into games already on the market like our own idea. It also gave me influence in my art style and character design, as well as many ideas into the narrative of our game. After looking at films and games, it was studying famous artists that gave me knowledge on techniques and style. Looking at Osamu Tezuka provided me with examples of successful manga comics, as well as enchanting character designs. Walt Disney is also a key inspiration, with his work inspiring my character design greatly. The research into Victorian artists was to gain knowledge of the fashion of the time period, to reference when creating my character designs. It was also useful in studying how artists would paint at this time, and how women were portrayed. My final stage of my research led me into looking closely at the techniques of the Studio Ghibli animation studios and the Walt Disney animation studios. Both use the same techniques of watercolours and sketches, however they both have unique art styles, which is an aspect I want to explore further in my own artwork. Following this closely, I decided to look at watercolour techniques that would benefit me greatly when creating environments, as well as digital painting techniques. Rounding all my research off, I noted which programs I will be using to create my work. All of my research I have conducted has inspired me to create a unique art style of my own, and influenced how I will design my characters and create my artwork.
