Tim Burton Research

Tim Burton
Alice in Wonderland
 Tim Burton is a well known director and producer. In a lot of his films he will do little sketches of how he thinks the characters should look. Lots of the film artists and animators take lots of inspiration from his work.
Nightmare before Christmas
 lots of the films he directs or produces are very dark and have minimal colour, this is because his films are more mysterious or horrid.
 For Example, "Sweeny Todd", is about a barber (Sweeny Todd) who kills people to get revenge and then Mrs Lovette a pie maker puts them into pies and sell them.

In the film their are a lot of outrageous costumes, amazing music that show how the characters feel. There is a lot of dark/faded colour and a lot of blood/guts, characters features are make to look deathly, by giving them harsh cheekbones and hollow eyelids. His work is really inspiring to me as i want to make my Illustrations quite gruesome and horrid to relate to the horrible stories, I want to make the facial features very defined and big like his original work.
Using Pinterest I found these Posters of a Disney films in the style of Tim Burton, I really like how dark they are and how they have enhanced the facial features of the characters, this has inspired me to try and and draw digitally as well as traditionally.

Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy. Snow White: Evil Queen eats the lungs and liver , believing them to be Snow White's The Prince finds Snow White in her glass coffin and takes her to his castle, when one of the carriers trips , causing the poised apple to get dislodged awakening Snow White. The Prince and Snow White get married and force the Evil Queen to wear burning hot iron shoes and dance until she drops dead. Rapunzel: The Prince visits Rapunzel that often she becomes pregnant with twins. The witch sees Rapunzel's baby bump, she cuts off her hair and banishes her to the wilderness , the witch lures the Prince into the tower using Rapunzel's hair. When the prince sees the witch and hears how he will never see Rapunzel again he jumps out the wi

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
