Inspiration

I've been looking at some films that I've used as inspiration and references for Kelpies. In terms of backgrounds and style 'Secret of Kells' (Cartoon Saloon) went in a really interesting direction, with stylised swirls and watercoloury textures.

The short film 'Old Fangs' (also by Cartoon Saloon) had some awesome (and similar to Kells) textured backgrounds.

Both of these films have a pretty unique look to them, one that is very beautiful. The textures and markings are something I think has influenced the style of Kelpies.

Film Poster

A poster was needed for our degree show website so I quickly whipped one up for Kelpies. (Apologies for the poor image quality, my computer has been broken for a few months and I don't have any of my work or files saved on it, so these are just from wherever I've saved them on the internet (usually FB)) The poster shows the eye of the kelpie, all scary and mystical and what not. It's similar to the scene in which Murdo sees himself reflected in the eye whilst underwater.
