Pre-Production - The Last Breath - Art Style Research









The Last Breath - Concept Art/Style





A Style I want to emulate is that of the netflix show - The Dragon Prince, in this show the animation style is inspired by 2D traditional animation, however by using 3D animation technology more possibilities are available. I like to modern twist to the classic look of Anime.









Netflix is releasing a large amount of Anime and the art styles vary from 3D with shows like Knights of Sidonia, Dragon Prince and and Blame.
However they are also releasing shows bearing the mark of 2D animation, such as Devilman Crybaby, this show has been wildly popular on netflix and it follows closely the classic animation techniques of the industry.

What I want to take from both shows, Devilman Crybaby and The Dragon Prince is the detailed backgrounds of forests, mountains, sprawling cities and the striking characters and increased emotion able to be gained from using a 3D model.











The Style of The Last Breath will be 3D rendered imagery, I want to differentiate from The Dragon Prince however in a few key ways, firstly would be the frame rate, The Dragon Prince chose an artistic style utilising the typical 12 frames a second of traditional 2D animation, this had the effect of making the animation look choppy, My aim would be to have a the frame rate of 24 Frames a Second, to make the fight scenes in The Last Breath smoother.





Secondly, I would like the style to differ from the Dragon Prince in regard to outlines, the characters in the shower have thick, dark outlines to differentiate them from the backgrounds, The Last Breath would lessen these lines to make them more subtle.
