The main inspiration for my project this year came from The Skillful Huntsman. A book created by a tutor and 3 of his students at the art center college of design. The aim of the book was to visualize the brothers grimm fairytale "The Skillful Huntsman" for use in the entertainment industry. The aim of the book was exploring various concepts for the characters and environments, and while the quality of the work is to a very high standard, I felt the over all tone was fairly bland and the ideas were not different enough. For example even though 3 artists produced work for the book, it is very difficult to tell the work apart. This synching of styles would be good in perhaps an actual project where the artists have to work in tandum, but for a book concerned with concepting I think it falls short on ideas. Nonetheless theres is some outstounding work in this book.
