The first influence maps for my theme: Pagan Colossus. I'm still unsure what direction to take my project, but so far I'm leaning more towards the Paganism view of nature and the Earth and incorporating a sense of enormity into that.

Wooooo, these are so cool! You chose great arts for your influence maps! I'm looking forward to seeing what ideas you'll come up with! : D
ReplyDeleteHi Katy - I think the Pagan = Nature = Colossus idea is strong. I wonder about your character's backstory? I wonder, if being a Pagan deity, he is somehow suppressed by the modern world, perhaps by Man's new religion of Ipads and technology? Maybe he's an old colossus trapped in a high-tech world? Maybe he represents the oldest, most ancient force of nature, and maybe his lair is more of a prison or holding cell? I don't know - just thoughts really, but I think the idea that your Pagan colossus is actually a personfication figure - an elemental force made into somekind of physical form? If so, where does he get his life-force from? Any maybe the answer to this could give you some ideas for his hero prop or site for his lair? Back-story is key to resolving character, and character is key to resolving the environment... Who IS this Pagan Colossus? What does he want? What does he do? Discuss!
