Some improvements

A new version of the Sheltered Deck after some comments from Kenneth Spirduso.

Thanks, much better.

Sheltered Deck

Other background design needed for the steamship was, inside the cabin class area,

the Promenade sheltered Deck.

Here are some pictures from the place around 1940's

RMS Queen Mary - Sun Deck

The next background I needed is the Game Space over the RMS Queen Mary, at the Sun Deck. There steamship is huge and now is placed in south California as an Hotel.

In the story a young lady, in a yellow dress, finds the love of her life, a young officer from the UK Royal Navy. This happened at the late 1930's so the place was brand new. I placed that scene over the game space in the Sun Deck, part of the Cabin Class or First Class. Obviously all the pictures from that time are in B&W so I had to imagine the colors or how were the new materials.

Here are some pictures how was the game space in other liners.

And here the painting.

Prop design: Steamer Trunk

One of the other important objects on the story is the Steamer Trunk that is in the Attic. Fot that once I decided the style and the design of it I modeled in Google Sketchup and over it painted in Photoshop.

What I got from Sketchup, the model I made it public here.

Some previous drawings:

 

 

Dress design

These are the tests how the dress looks like after spending many years in the trunk from the attic. Moisture, the years and some other moths have done their damage.

and found it among rugs, triggered some memories on our protagonist, pulling her back on time when the dress was in perfect conditions.

And here some of the designs ideas...

Studies for the character of The Dress

Living Room Digital Painting

And finally the Living room, so I finished all the layouts of the interior of the house.

The idea was to keep the very late evening from the window in contrast with the warm light from the fire, it was fun, but took me a day...

His Armchair is bigger, with a pattern and next to a O2 tank, on the other hand it is her chair, more rounded and compact, but keeping both in the same family by value and color. The house is from an old couple that have being living there for a long time, so tried to be very careful on the choices on the furniture and style. The meet in 1920 on a vessel and we are now 50 years later on this old style house. He was a Sailor and thats because all the pictures are ocean paintings. 

I worked to keep the consistency trough the house on the Entrance and Dining Room.

Thanks Ken for the input about the rug for the composition and Anthony for the lighting comments.

Digital Painting of the Corridor
