Soundscape: Seeing Imaginatively Via Cut Outs

Here's my original animatic idea:
Tribal warfare VS modern warfare/technological warfare: 
Tribal warriors with spears, battling on desert sands, in the background an atomic bomb is dropped, the shockwave and heat incinerates the warriors. The keyframe to be used soon after the bomb has been dropped to illustrate the appearance of the mushroom cloud in the first few milliseconds after it has been dropped.

However looking at the painting again, my imagination has since seen more than something based in reality; not only seeing humans, but creatures too, among other things. I have cut from the painting the things I have seen so far and annotated them.

For reference, here is the original keyframe for my animatic, The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli (1911) by Carlo Carrà.

In the center of the frame it appears that a man is about to attack creature #2, I have focused the attention on this event below and added arrows indicating possible movement.

Seeing this creature as an important part of a future animatic I quickly produced a basic sketch of what it may look like without what I visualise as intense red and orange highlights and harsh black shadows such as from a powerful light source e.g. the sun.

Looking at my sketch I was reminded of a variety of things that could be used to inspire developed designs of creature #2, below is the Influence Map for any developed drawings.

With this new look at my keyframe, it will undoubtedly lead to new, more exciting ideas for both the animatic and the all important soundscape.
