Chance and Indeterminancy: "It Came from The Night!!"

So! First thing's first, I had to have come up with a system for determining how/what I would make with said project.

My system included using these dice:

With this system:

d(4) Media-- Charcoal(2), Gouache(1), SAI(3), Graphite(4)

d(6) Style-- Anime(1), Abstract(4), Naturalist(3), Inorganic (objects)(5), “Dreamscape”(2), Typography(6)

d(8) Title-- “The Sea Shore’s Calling”(8), “It Came From the Night!!”(6), “Thumping”(1), “Ultradelic: The Return of the Green One”(7), “Bounce Bounce! New Egg Super Happy”(3), “Flight”(5), “Soft and Sweet; Simple and Clean”(2), “Not Today”(4)

d(10)--Subject: Cow(1), Donkey(2), Orangutan(3)(?), Construction worker(4), Lunchlady (5), Doctor(6) Banana (7), Cheese (8), Ball(9), Feather (10)(Suggestions by: Semper, Evvers, wanderer, imi)

d(%) Note--colors will come from COLORED PENCILS if SAI or Gouache are not rolled for Media

10%--Strong Reds,

20%--Strong Oranges,

30%--Strong Yellows,

40%--Strong Greens,

50%--Strong Blues,

60%--Strong Violets,

70%--Heavy Highlights/Reroll,

80%--Heavy Shadows/Reroll,

90%--Muted Tones/Reroll,

100%--Heavy Saturation/Reroll

d(12)

d(20)

MY RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS:

1. GRAPHITE
2. TYPOGRAPHY
3. “It Came From The Night!!”
4. Ball
5. Strong Violets

I was *not* happy at this point, as I didn't really expect to roll for Typography (which is, by far, my least favorite and least practiced expression on the list of possibilities). 

And here is where I finally sat down to attempt to put it all together!

Cleaning lines!

The preliminary outline. Typography is a lot harder than I anticipated, as it forces you to utilize the space/parameters provided in ways that stretch your imagination to the limits.

A close up of the preliminary sketch.

I forgot to take some progress pictures of the color--however, you can clearly see the poor, decimated  prismacolor pencil (which was brand-new when I started this project!)

And here is the (first) finished product! (of course, I will probably bring it into class).
