Narrative Images

Here is the completed version of the narratives:

The three images are characters from the same story. The text on the top is a monologue from their perspective on the value that is most important to them, displayed in the large word at the bottom.

Malefic is a character whose life has been controlled and used for the benefit of countless people. Because of that, his main goal is to life by his own means and not be controlled by anyone. The pursuit of freedom and escaping his past are his two main motivations.

Judith is a strong willed character whose main motivation is help her people recover from the incidents that occur in the first part of the story. As a fair and just ruler, she embodies the virtue of honor.

As a monster hunter, Leon is a character who constantly puts himself in danger, and would be willing to give his life if necessary, to help protect other people. He embodies the virtue of sacrifice. 

The narrative itself is in a tryptic format using the three primary colors (Red, blue, and yellow) to tint each of the three characters. The colors fade to black and into the next color, representing the unity of the three despite their different outlooks. The repeated background texture enforces this. I could not think of a background that would unify the three very different texts, so I thought the texture would work better for the composition. It also puts more focus on the characters, who need to stand out instead of the text. Without a background image they are more of a centerpiece and less of a part of the background.

Overall I was happy with the composition. The lineart on Judith could've been done better (the leftmost hand trips me up a bit.), but the other two characters were drawn well.
