For Attempt 5 I just decided to scrap using 3D since it took to long and it just sucked the life out of whatever I was making so I just went for black and white ink. For me this attempt shows a guy on his way home from work (probably a salaryman of some sort) on a busy train  where they are all crammed like sardines and he just wants to escape from this depressing reality so he starts thinking and goes to his 'personal oasis' that is just his no one elses. A place where he can be a kid and enjoy fantastic battles that just don't make sense but they're awesome. I think I really wanted to push the childlikeness of it so that's why theres all of these things in the scene and the clouds look painted on from a cartoon. No one can tell him it's crazy, there's no deadlines, no crunch, just him and his thoughts where he can be free from the hustle and bustle of his daily life.

Attempt 4 was based off a bus ride home where I thought 'hey, my head is kind of my personal oasis in this scenerio' so I went and moddeld a scene of my bus ride home. It didn't get past the 3d stage but it did spark some new ideas such as the persons personal oasis being in there head. Which to me makes sense since I think that's probably where most peoples personal oasis actually and each one is completely different person to person. For example I was thinking about what it was like for me as a kid sitting in boring situations like waiting rooms and how I used to just think about all of these imaginary battles and all sorts of crazy stuff with giants and knights and things like that. SO that is why this didn't make it past 3D since it spawned a better idea in my mind and I also thought the 3D stuff just felt a bit generic and boring.

Attempt 3 was where I started getting more experimental but it didn't really have much substance. It was just a bit crazy. As you can see I only got as far as a blender scene of all these characters in a pub because maybe their personal oasis is the pub? So it didn't get past this stage because it was just nonesense.

The next attempt followed a very similair process to the first. This time I tried to tackle the brief a bit more clearly and I tried to create an ideal future where we have beautiful futuristic utopias and lush landscapes where people can just live their lives. As such I set in what I think is a nice setting of a flower field with lots of bright colours to indicate a dream like quality. At first I used the previous characyer but they didn't quite feel like a parent so I went to the extreme and made them a grandparent to make it clear the relationship and the setting.

This was the first attempt I made for the brief and the idea was this punk character in a futuristic city going to their 'personal oasis' where they spray paint away from all the hustle and bustle. It ended up feeling quite generic and flat to me even though everything was there. I started off making thumbnails on scraps of paper and then I moddeled the character in blender and set up the scene in it as well and then I exported it all and took it into twinmotion ( a architectural software because its like unreal engine lite). Finally I did a few paintovers and added the graffiti and finally I adjusted the scene in lightroom mto make it more cinematic.
