Michaela Kindlova | Concept Art & Illustration 2021

Goth Farm

A personal project inspired by a tweet. Was really fun to come up with the design of the characters!

The start of an adventure!

Kid's Lunch Box

A complex design of a kid's lunch box inspired by space and UFO. I played with fun shape language and colour schemes.

Mushroom Fighter

Spooky House

Environment illustration and house design exploration. The aim was to push the shape language and have fun with textured brushes. I wanted the house to look abandoned and mysterious... To evoke curiosity in the audience.

Off to a better year!

Czech Traditional Folk Costumes

I wanted to celebrate my national costumes and tradition by creating a character lineup dressed in such clothes.

Treasured

"Love has invisible hands that touch the heart directly." Treasured is a short animated film about love and motivation. It is a story that aims to convey that all it takes is one person to help you come over your deepest fears. 

I had the pleasure to work on this project along with five amazing artists. My role was to create the concept art and later animate two shots of the film.

Project Photon

Project Photon is a Virtual Reality immersive experience created by me and Abhineetam Chaurasia as a part of our 3D Animation Master's course. 

The player takes a role of an explorer. He is teleported into a mystical world where he experiences and interacts with its wonderful artifacts. He also meets a maintenance robot WG06 and explores the uncharted ruins of an ancient-advanced civilization whose remnants are still alive...

Besides creating concept art for the project, I animated the robot and also helped create the environment by producing assets and textures.

Narnia Character Lineup

Narnia movie studies

Quick movie studies to practice light and colour.  (I guess you can tell by now that I love The Chronicles of Narnia haha).

Romeo + Juliet

Another movie study... This time it is my favourite scene from Romeo + Juliet which I spent much more time than on the previous ones. I  pushed the pose a bit more than in the reference to support the overall feeling of the painting as I think that it helps capture the moment between the characters and creates a nice contrast.

More illustrations!

Thank you!

Thank you very much for taking your time and coming all the way to the end of my entry! I hope that you enjoyed it and that my colorful art put a smile on your face!
