Skeeter’s Bad Trip

On a hot summer day a thirsty mosquito wanders around in search of something to drink. After searching for a long time he finds a puddle in the middle of the park and drinks it, unaware that it contains hallucinogenic substances. Now infected with some kind of hallucinogenic drug, the mosquito flies around hallucinating the world around him. He cannot differentiate between what's real and his imagination. What will happen to him next?

Character Development

Mos is an icky little creature that feasts on human liquids. Having been flying in the hot summer heat, he is exhausted and tired. Looking for anything that could relieve his thirst. Because of his frantic and careless behavior he drinks some mysterious liquid without knowing what it was

I did not want Mos to have completely realistic features because eye expression in my thesis will be key in showing the states of his mental journey. Therefore Mos’s eyes appear more cartoony with large protruding eyes. His body and textures will be more on the realistic size, but it will be in between the look of not completely realistic and cartoony 

My goal for this piece is to focus on visuals and imagery. I know I will face challenges because I am not that familiar with the CG pipeline, but I still think it is important to know in the future as a VFX compositor. I have always been fascinated in creating surrealistic environments through matte painting and compositing CG assets to live action plates. I want to enjoy and explore my creative imagery through my final project at SVA, and create something fun and enjoyable
