Over the Road - Break downs

Over the Road - Break downs

Once I completed the finial turnarounds, they also asked me to produce these breakdowns in order to help people better understand these characters when it came to animating them.

Along side my own work, I also did some work on another project Snekula. I produced a hand full of basic sketches as well as character concepts, that where later used to create finalized designs. I enjoyed working in a different style and the project leader was happy with my work.

Pre-Production - Pose sheets

Pre-Production - Pose sheets

Pose sheets were also needed for our pitch, these where also useful for visualizing the characters, it also helped construct their different personalities and give the still images a little more life. I tried to draw a range of poses, that also acted as concepts of what actions these characters would take in the proposed episodes.

Now that I had created some finial designs, I went away and created these simple turnaround, so to help us out when animating and also to better understand how each character worked, given more time I could have liked to have created more polished ones.

Once I had finished all the research for Deep I began to try out some character concepts, trying to find out what might work best and how we could use the style, I also produced a turnaround for the main protagonist, looking closely at the yellow submarine and other 60s styles to help influence this.

After the initial concepts drawings I went away and produced a series of finalized designs for each main character, as well as a few extra ones that would appear as one offs in some of the episodes.

I wanted to play around with textured brushes, and see how I could include my artists textured folk art style, I also experimented with my use of pattern and scale to further create this.

Kill your Elders - Theater student collaboration

Along side my own studies I was also apportioned by a Theater student who wanted someone to create some visualizations for a script her was working on, following his descriptions I produced these three designs for him, he was very pleased with my work and I enjoyed the collaboration with someone outside of our course.

Pre-Production - Dandelion Turn arounds

Pre-Production - Dandelion Turn arounds

Just as I had done with the other characters,  I needed to finalize the designs for my main protagonist and decide on a name, in this case Dandelion. After considering the designs I had sketched before, I created this final design, looking closely at my use of bright bold colours, textures and patterns so to watch my artists style.

I again chose to look mostly at my use of mark making for this session, as well as exploring how different textures and lines effected the outcome of the drawing. I also enjoyed trying out different perspectives and learning how to structure my drawings

Once I had completed the initial concept sketches and they were happy with my work, I went on to digitize them. At first the idea was that I only do the first pose of each so that more people could work on them, but then I completed my two favorite myself and plan too when time allows to finish the others.
