For this project, I kind of have an exact image in my mind, because I did a photography project about ”Classic of Mountains and Rivers“, it’s a book that’s recorded with different creatures, for example the most famous monster in China: Nian, when I was young, I was told when new year come, people blow fireworks is to scare away monster Nian. So for my photography projectthen, I was thinking about creating one or more creatures of my own by photoshopping, give them a story, and show the story in the image.
This is one of my favorite image from that serie, because I really like foxes especaily fennec fox, their huge ears are so cute. This is my original idea of how my environment look like.
Then I went to search for more inspiration images that might give me an idea of more exact looking of the environment, so I created a padlet (moodborad?)
This is a part of the board with some explainations on, talking about why I have collected these images, why they insspire me with the project.
At this point, I’m quit clear with what I want to make in the world. I think most of the world is just in the woods, the only difference is the ground is water like the image on the bottom right, the city on water, people and creatures can walk on top of it, but also are able to dive into the water.
