Project 3 story FACTS!

In order to understand the scene that I wish to set up for this project!
Before the scene:
1. The Signal Man sees the 'shadow' apparition in the tunnel of a man with an outstretched arm while covering his eyes yelling for the Signal Man to watch out.
2. When first seeing this figure he runs over to it into the tunnel when it vanishes before his eyes as if no one was there at all (obviously he is spooked and runs out from the tunnel immediately)
3. After this encounter, there is an accident (only after six hours!) on the tracks which leads the Signal Man to believe this could have been a warning for him.
4. He becomes more paranoid as he sees the apparition a few more times and vigilantly watches the tracks and does his job like his life depended on it.
During:
1.The Wanderer stands before the tunnel with an outstretched hand waving to the Signal Man from down bellow
2. Its an early morning with the fog sticking to the scene and coating it like a veil
3. The Signal Man stands before his box with a flag in hand and looks upon the Wanderer with a tired expression
4. The shadow of the Wanderer just reaches the Signal Man with just the tips of his fingers (of the shadow that is) almost as if it is reaching for him
After:
1. After realizing that the Wanderer is real the Signal Man begins to help him instead of continuously staring towards him
2. This leads to the beginning of the story where he (Signal Man) tells the Wanderer that he almost took him for an apparition
3. The Signal Man lets the Wanderer inside in order to tell him the ghosts that have been haunting his waking hours these past few months
4. The warmth of the box can have a stark contrast to the outside world where the tracks can be a stark black with the fog subtly hiding the figure of whatever is outside

Project 3- Concept and Mood (Signal Man)

1. When I chose the story the Signal Man to draw the concept art for since I find thrillers/ghost stories quite interesting to read and imagine the characters and scenes.

2. The adjectives that I kept in mind while reading was melancholic, lonesome, maddening, chilling, ghostly, and suspenseful.

3. I wish to use blues and greens as a prominent color for the landscape to give off the depressed and cold landscape the story takes place in. But, I also want to add a splash of red (with a little orange and white) to draw the viewers' eyes while also showcases a prominent element of the story.

(I'm been looking forward to this assignment and am very excited to draw out this landscape for this story!!!!!)

WIP for Project 2! (oh dear)

I've been having a bit of trouble with the pencil (sketch?) tool with it connecting lines into one blob when I don't want ti to. The WIP looks super messy due to that since I had to overlap a bunch of lines over one another. Plus the last panel I forgot to have the guy model for the running away pose for the shadow so I put in a reference to trace over it (if you were wondering why that was there). No other technical difficulties besides putting things in the wrong layer (my bad) and the sketch tool.

Hello world!! What's up??

Now, this first post might be for my Illustration class but that doesn't mean you (possible viewer) have to wait to see THESE amazing artworks! Consider these pieces to be a little journey through my art as I work through both school projects and my own passion projects. I have been strongly influenced by cartoons, anime, and comics which I have continuously inspired by. I'm still trying to figure out what I truly want to do with my artwork and trying to rediscover the fun in making art. Well, putting those depressing thoughts aside let's get down to business and look at these masterpieces.
