Quickfire Concepts - Horror Witch - Week 2

Horror Witch – Research

 

For this second stage in the assignment I have picked the theme Horror and the descriptor witch. I like the sound of these two as witches are normally seen as horror characters so it will be good to create different types of horror witches.

 

 

 

 

Above is my first mood board which is for the theme of Horror that I have chosen. I simply typed in “Horror theme” into Google and picked out these images which I think best portrays the Horror theme. There are pictures of Haunted houses, Pumpkins, Werewolf’s and they all link into the horror theme, I just need to link these in to make a witch.

My next mood board I have picked out a load of images of different types of witches that I could include in my concepts and which I will take inspiration from in my concepts.

 

 

 

 

These are the colours I have chosen for the horror theme. They are great colours and would show off the theme well. I am not concentrated on just the colours but more the sketches and concepts.

 

 

Horror Research:

Horror is used lots in modern day culture within TV, film and books. When researching about horror the main point that comes across is “Horror films” so Horror films are most popular type of Horror thing within the internet.

What a horror films basically is, is a genre that effects the audience in an emotional way through fear. They do this with ghosts, vampires, Murderers, Cannibals, zombies, evil witches etc.

Horror is also shown in lots of games. Popular games like five nights at Freddy’s include horror with jump scares which are parts of a game or film which would jump out at the audience to give them a huge fright which would almost immediately get their heart rate going fast.

 

 

Three Rules:

Rule 1: Has to have some sort of flying object (a broom but more creative)

Rule 2: Has to have headgear

Rule 3: Has to have some sort of power (shown in the notes and in the concepts)

I have chosen three rules above which I think are very suitable for the theme and descriptor. I wanted my horror witch to have some sort of flying gear as most witches are known for flying. I also wanted but in my head I need the witch to have some sort of head gear, and finally a magical power to show the witch is magical with maybe a horror power which would look great.



Concepts:

Here are just a few of the concepts I have made (I have made more). I have created different concepts on each of my figures, I have then made silhouettes of them by using Photoshop, I like these designs and think they suit the theme and the descriptor very well.

 

 More Concepts:

 

 Here are some more concepts that I have created. I have made both men and women concepts in this stage of the concepts.
