EMOTIONS

The idea of a story

For me it seems that working with color is a very important detail for both art and conveying emotions, since each emotion is responsible for each color and tone. 

for me it seems that working with color is a very important detail for both art and conveying emotions, since each emotion is responsible for each color and tone.

 

And this work attracted me very much because such a large set of colors is used in combination with others in one place while everything else is absolutely black and white, which gives depth, I would even say a gasp of fresh air.

The story

Once upon a time, there was a village where many people lived there, a simple life, but one day a clairvoyant man came to their village. A gentleman named Mike, from faraway America. Not so long ago, the future he predicted had arrived along with the worst consequences.

No one had believed him. But as usual, it comes true. Villagers had thought that Mike had done it in vain by cursing their future, and so they began to drive him away. He had been hiding for a long time; unfortunately, the villagers had finally found him and started the chase by yelling and cursing at him.

By night, when darkness seemed deeper than ever before, and a warm breeze crossed the ancient streets of Spain, Mike ran non-stop until he found a cliff over the ocean and jumped off of it… into the deep water

He felt a strong need to close himself off from those people, who hatted him for him truthiness…

 

The light from above disappeared as Mike sinks into darkness, and as he keeps falling into the ocean abyss, something unexpected appears. Something that even Mike couldn’t have predicted despite his own power. 

An unexpected meeting happened when Juan (merman) and Mike met for their first time.

With the help of his magic, he helps to acquire gills, with the help of which he can stay under water for as long as he wants or needs.

brief of a full story

The story itself begins with the man who fell into the water, the adventure happens into Middle Ages. According to the further plot, has the ability to predict the future, and when he retold the future in the village where he was traveling, and it came true, and it was not very good, they began to curse him and drive him to hunt, because they did not think that he had jinxed them all in vain. Therefore, at the moment of escape, he decided to somehow dive into the nearest water, since at that moment it was dark and the people who were chasing him simply lost him.

 

There they meet mermaids, but his first surprise is that the entire population has always insisted and been against them, because they had a conflict long before, and since then they simply stopped appearing in each other's sight. The mermaids live in their waters, and the people live on their lands. That is why the two characters have conflicting feelings for each other. But the man is desperate and can do nothing.

 

After the people who were driven away left, he came out of the water saying goodbye to his friend and while he was preparing to escape from that village, he came to him a few more times to talk or just hang out, but in the end he escaped from the village because he was hunted.

 

Man’s name is Mike (Americal traveler) and Merman’s is Juan (Spanish name as he is levies into warm waters near Spain continent)

 

further on, according to the idea of ​​the story itself, the traveler himself then leaves and abandons that place. And what makes them both sad, like, since Juan doesn't know where Mike is, so neither Mike is. The story will not develop in art style but taking about this a s a novel further, it should be noted that where mermaids live, they also have their own territory, and a hostile one, through which they fight in the cold waters. From which they have to cross, namely Juan, he has a little minion, a little shrimp (named "Po") who is always with him everywhere.

 

 

Then one day when this little fish was traveling and trying to find Mike, since Juan was very upset by his absence, he still found Mike and they somehow agreed that he would wait for Juan, right on this shore. But the problem was that the shore was located right through the hostile zone, then the third line opens, there is a character like Valya, this is already a mermaid, and she has feeleing for Juan but they are not mutual. And when Juan's little minion swims up to him and says that he has found the one he was looking for, and now he has to overcome about the same path, he immediately swam in that direction with his minion, but the problem was that the minion was small and therefore no one noticed him in these waters, but Juan -- no, therefore there were questions in hostile territory, there were almost even conflicts and threats, but Valya, because of all her love, knows even that he is not here for her, she still ordered everyone to stop and let him through, Mike and Juan are meeting each other at the end
