Project 3 - Concept and Mood of the Story Rumpelstiltskin

• What appeals to me about the story of Rumpelstiltskin is its ability to abruptly jump between different moods and amounts of intensity. What I personally have envisioned for the environment of the inside of Rumpelstiltskin's house is a small cabin filled with different trinkets which were either stolen, collected, or created. All of these would convey an eerie feeling in order to make the viewer understand why it is that Rumpelstiltskin wants babies and the idea that he's done this plenty of times in the past.  

• This digital painting will communicate emotions of:

1.  intensity, as if he could return at any moment in a fit of rage
2. mysticality, to prove his magical abilities
3. pure evil/insanity, showing why it is that he chooses to take advantage of these people and steal their babies away from them 

•  The dominant colors I will use to convey the idea of these emotions will be many dark bloody reds, cool greens, browns, and plenty of gold. The environment will have a very sharp and angular shape language to accentuate the intensity of the room and the story. It will also be sparingly lit to convey possibly ominous things hidden in the shadows at any turn as well as to really make the shine and glimmer of any gold he has collected jump out.
