Media Center

Media Center (2015)
Setting:South Carolina
Unofficial Disney Story
Character Design, Background Design, Fantasy

Meet Valirah, A 20 year old know-it-all who believes in imagination. She works at a library, or media center, and spends most of her time writing fantasy and mythology. She also studies overseas myths, biblical stories, along with scanning poems her mother wrote as well. The picture above is a more rendered out picture of Valirah done in Photoshop. I fell into the idea of pretending to do a Disney Princess. If Valirah were really a Disney Princess, She'd become the second non-legitimate princess (Mulan being the first) and she'd become the first biracial princess. She doesn't have friends growing up so she imagines and daydreams all the time. She also lacks interest in what most females would be in the media, she's not a fashion type, and she envy's when other girls talk about attractive men. But mostly, she writes in her book and it replies back to Valirah in write text. The media center is like her home.   

 

This is a face expression image of Valirah. Normally, when you design characters, you have to show different expressions and different sides of the character, which I have done below. To be more detailed into the character, like the buildings, I did the Front, Side, and 3/4.
 

These are just drawings of Valirah's actions and her poses. You can see that she's intelligent, envious, and also depressed sometimes when she dreams of having that crown. 
About the princess subject, What makes Valirah special to me is that she dreams of it, and she's not even someone who is physical or action, but she's just an average nerd who works at a library. This is contemporary to other Disney Princesses.  
 

This is Emmett Underbanks, but he goes by Teal. He's a child-looking 21 year old college student who is also a know-it-all. He likes non-fiction and loves video games. He also grew up with the green hand-me-down dictionary.    
 

Valirah falls for Teal, and yeah, look at the picture above and you can see the strange relationship these two have. But, In the body of the story, the two will experience imagination coming to life by stating this one quote.
 

"If life can't do....Then I will say...."

All they have to do for example is say with absolutely NO doubt "If life can't turn the White House gold, Then I will say it's gold." The president is going to get a LOT of visitors. Having a house that's completely gold. Anyone can say the quote, but only those with faith can actually make it true. Valirah and Teal have a lot of fun with this.
  

I've done five background pictures.
Picture 1 is the outside view along the shore. The large building on the right (you can see the large windows easily) is the library Valirah works at. This image above, I did on Adobe Photoshop. Below are just images of the inside. There are no books nor any desk etc in these pictures. I wanted to only focus more on the building in general. I wanted to give it a very polished look, I might've made it too polished. On Maya Autodesk, I designed the inside and took four rendered pictures of it. In the shelves, of course, are where the books should be, and on the balcony is where desk should be along with Apple Macs and PC's on them. 
This is the first building render that I have done with Maya Autodesk. This is also the third interior that I have done (People Eating Salt and Sony Store being the first two)

So, Basically, I am pretending as though I have designed this movie called 'Media Center' which is about Valirah spending her time at the Media Center, and once she meets Teal, The two have an unease way of getting along. When a strange figure on shore tells Valirah this quote "If life can't do....", She starts to used it and it works. She then proves it to Teal. He believes her immediately and participates in her imagination thrills such as seeing mermaids with the head of the Statue of Liberty swimming out of the ocean, Raining Skittles candy during Civil War, and the biggest mistake the two must fix.....Making all of the Books fly out of the Media Center. Once that happens, the quote stops working.  

Just Imagine...

Why not? I do it on this Blogger page.
