Visual development, a short history

I've been developing a tv show here a Crew972 over the last year, and thought you might like a peek at the visual development. It's a knights and dragons-based slapstick social commentary.

... I'm still working on ways to pitch it.

Anyway, in terms of style: My catchphrase for the design style, for all the talented folks that I'll hopefully work with on this show, is 'funky medieval', -or Medifunk, or Funkieval. A quick google search tells me I might just have coined those last two. I'm hoping it will catch on, you know, like steampunk.

I took some visual reference from some gorgeous danish architecture, which despite not being medieval, were funky. It's all subjective.

-Filled a sketchbook with scratchy little drawings like this:

And then played around with colour in photoshop,

-followed it up with some very rough previs:

And then, bringing it all into CG, we mockup the look and feel, aiming for a graphic, textural look, that should in the end be the essence of Medifunk.

I'll keep you posted. :)
