20 000 Leagues under the sea
Here is a school project. It is an adaptation of Jules Verne's famous novel “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”. You will find character design, environment design and my final illustration.
Here is a school project. It is an adaptation of Jules Verne's famous novel “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”. I chose to design the four main characters, in a contemporary universe: Captain Nemo, Professor Aronnax and his faithful companion whom I chose to imagine as a woman who is also his bodyguard, and finally the unruly Nedland.
As a second step, I chose to recreate an illustration echoing a mythical scene from the 1954 film, based on a 3D blocking made on Blender software. According to the book, the Nautilus works with very advanced technology, only possessed by Nemo. That's why I imagined a futuristic Nautilus in a contemporary world.
It's Captain Nemo, commander of the Nautilus. Being a person constantly living in the abyssal depths, I chose to portray him as pale and skinny. Nemo is smart and charismatic. He seems very distant, solitary, misanthropic, ironic about the fate of humanity.
He survived pirates and slavers, which is why I imagined him wearing a blindfold to hide his blind eye.
In the book, professor Aronnax is constantly followed by his sidekick and servant Conseil. However, a servant is not exactly appropriate for our contemporary world. I have chosen to design Conseil as a strong woman which is the bodyguard of Aronnax.
Miss Lee Conseil is wearing a suit with a belt remaining a karate kimono. Her clothes aspect are almost metallic, to adding more rigidity to the character.
