Visual Representations of The Goddess of the Underworld, Hel.
I want to show her in a firey underworld setting, alongside her companion the hound.
As represented in the Thor comic books
Basic Imvu character
Initial design, utilising the same methods of a heavy inner bevel, red eyes
Putting it into After Effects and visualising it on a smaller phone screen (considering Instagram dimensions as this will be posted as a series), I realise I can't really see the pile of bones too well so I'm going to simplify it to just skulls/ bigger imagery. The lightning I can also remove as I found in After Effects I can add this lightning preset which will be animated, adding to the tacky aesthetic.
This image (in terms of the skulls) was a lot more visible on a smaller scale.
Maintaining a consistency in some areas of design I obviously kep the basis of the card the same, including layout and body text, mirroring those used in old school top trump cards.
Font: Silom 14px
I found adding duplicate layers of spot lighting enabled me to highlight the forefront of the text with lighter shades, emphasising depth.
I also wanted to maintain fluidity with the header texts to some degree, so used 30px Invasion 2000. I used a different animation to the Mami Wata that was more relevant to the context; for the Mami Wata card I used an effect suited to 'under the sea' vibes whereas with Hel I used the preset '3D Fly down behind camera', I feel this bold movement is a lot more suited to the underworld setting.
