Fairy Doctor Draft
Progress so far on my Pitch Bible.
Took some inspiration from Percy Jackson and made it about mythological monsters in America, then had teenagers sort it all out. All be it older and more experienced teenagers. Take Erin for instance; he is the actual Fairy Doctor not because he was born into a long family line of Fairy Doctors (he was), but he is knowledgeable because he spent his entire life being taught everything he needs to know about how to combat magical creatures. No montage or hero sword for him.
Angela on the other hand serves first and foremost as an audience surrogate. She is the typical high school popular girl who wouldn't know anything about Fairies or other magical creatures. So she can ask all the questions the audience would ask about the rules and the strange new world she becomes aware of. With Erin providing all the answers through his off-hand knowledge or his families textbooks. She learns as the audience learns over the course of the series. That's not to say that I want her to be the clueless damsel in distress. As she is the yin to Erin's yang, her skills will usually fill in for when Erin's fails.

Mythology Assignment
Now I gotta do something with mythology and fairy tales.
I've been assigned Celtic Mythology, which is awesome since I've recently become obsessed with Witcher 3 and its mix of Celtic, Slavic, and Germanic mythology. So this should be fun.

Next assignment: Cars
Gotta draw cars now. Its like I suddenly changed my major over to auto design. Still, with this class and gesture drawing, I have significantly improved my drawing skills.
Teacher is saying we need to start printing with at least 200 DPI (resolution) on 11x17 inch card stock.
Bottom right corner needs my name and the title, plus a logo on the top left corner. Especially for my Pitch Bible.
The Teacher then starts by showing us a 57 Chevy Truck as an example. Mostly to emphasize its unique shape and body structure.
We also need to add the kind of car body paint that you see in car ads.
Side view is best for shading, 3/4 view is trickier.
Looks like I got paired up with the Morgan Roadster...
...I can work with this.
Due this Thursday. Just a stylized outline with a painted sphere.
