- Knights of Guinevere
Knights of Guinevere is an indie animated web series created and written by Dana Terrace, Zach Marcus, John Bailey Owen. It was produced by Glitch Productions, producers of popular series 'The Amazing Digital Circus'.
The show is a 2D, digital, hand animated production. It was animated by Glitch Productions, with the co-creator of the show, Dana Terrace, also helping to animate some scenes. A highlight being the scene where the main character, Frankie, meets Guinevere.
If I wanted to create content such as Knights of Guinevere I would first need to learn how to animate digitally. I could use practices we have learnt in tutorials, such as photoshop, or I could branch out using softwares like Adobe Animate or Toon Boom. I would then need to touch up on and improve my character design skills in order to create engaging and unique characters. Combining these skills I would be able to create characters full of life and personality.

- Arcane: League of Legends
Arcane is a 2D and 3D animated series based on the popular game League of Legends. The show was created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, and animated by French animation studio Fortiche. The voicing acting cast include the likes of Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell and Katie Leung.
The show was made using elements of both 2D and 3D animation. At its foundation lies stylised 3D animation with a distinctive rough, tactile quality. The base is enhanced with traditional hand-drawn animation for effects like smoke and explosions, oil painting techniques for environments, and cel-shading for character expressions.
To be able to create work such as Arcane, I would need to learn how to 3D animate, which would require learning basic 2D animation knowledge. Arcane has a very distinct artstyle which sets it apart from other 3D animated projects so I would need to study other animated shows to find a style that would make my work unique.

- Forever is a Feeling - Lucy Dacus
This is the second cover, and original vision, for Lucy Dacus' Album Forever is a Feeling. This photograph was taken by Jon Henry who is an artist, photographer and educator with guidance from the singer. The Painting featured, which was the first album cover, was created by Will St. John. The picture frame that encases the painting was specially made by a frame store based in New York known as Lowy. This store is also where this photograph has been taken.
This album cover was created practically using the skills of talented painters, designers and photographers.
To create a photograph such as this I would need experience in photography to capture a composition that captures the artists' vision. Fortunately, I have experience as I took an A-Level in photography but would need to touch up on my knowledge in order for the photograph to be sucessful.
