A Star’s Sign Art Book
What is A star’s sign?
A star’s sign is an animation proposal based on the
thirteen zodiacs, it will be a mature rated show and
produced in my own art style.
The thirteen zodiacs will be spilt into four groups
based on their element. This being Fire, Water, Air and
Earth. Each group will have three zodiac and they will
have their own class and fighting style. These three
categories will be Warrior, Mage and Weapon. The
Warriors will be the leader of each group.
Character iterations
Each element will be represented by a culture to give a more diverse
range of character outcomes.
This will be an exception with the thirteenth zodiac Ophiuchus which
has been described having traits of both fire and air zodiacs. For the
purpose of the story line Ophiuchus will be an outcast from the fire
group which are the main protagonist in the story.
The zodiac weapons are Gemini, Aries, Pisces, and Virgo. All the
mentioned zodiacs transform into weapons for the warrior in each
group. These weapons will still reflect the culture they are influenced
by.

Nov 30 – Dec 10
House Ophiuchus represented Unity. Its people were
spirited, magnetic, impulsive, clever, flamboyant, and
at times jealous, power-hungry, and temperamental.
At their hearts, they were healers who hoped to one
day rid the Zodiac of every ill—disease, violence, etc—
and bring everyone closer together.
Ophiuchans had a natural affinity for snakes, and
there was a special species of serpent, the Zawinder,
with whom their House’s Zodai developed a psychic
connection. Each Zodai would capture and adopt his
own Zawinder, which they would then use to spread
messages to others in the swamp.Character Sheets
These are the final character sheets for all thirteen zodiacs.
I wanted to them all to be presented in a pose that helped show
some of their personalities as well as a clear turnaround of each
character too. The four weapon zodiacs have their final weapon
design on the sheet so that you can see the clear contrast in the
design.Poster Parallax
I wanted to work on some promotional material for the project. This
poster is split up to also be used as a parallax. It would be something
that can be used on advertising for Netflix, to draw the viewers’
attention with the slight movement.Cover Art
This was another piece of promotional material that I decided to
produce for the project.
The main focus of this piece was for cover or box art but this could
easily be used as a poster for the animation with the addition of the
‘A star’s sign’ Logo placed in the negative space.StoryBoard Sketch
These are the original plans from the storyboard.
Even though they start out rough you should be
able to get a sense of direction with the story. The
story throughout the sketches was clear enough
to move onto the inking stage but some of the
camera angles need to be changed to match the tone
of the scenes.Final Story Boards
Although industry storyboard are usual clean and precise, I decided
to work more towards an animatic which gave me the chance to work
a lot closer than I normally do.
The most important part of this was creating the sense of movement
through the animatic so that the animators would have a better
understanding of direction and pace.scan the QR code below to see the animatic!
