Film DEVELOPMENT UPDATE - near-final model sheets!

Refining the girl model with help.

A fellow student was kind enough to help me out with refining stuff. I really should be asking for help a lot more instead of trying to wing it, because already there's some great results. (The brown pencils are mine, the graphite is the fellow student's drawing.)

The girl here is probably a bit more complex than I want her and not exaggerated enough (yet) but she is EXTREMELY close to what I want out of her character now, and this drawing also has better structure. Something lacking in my work at the moment, but I think with good help breaking my ideas down into basic shapes it will transform my ability to see and create good design. (As well as animate.)

FILM DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Mama mia!

Mostly model sheets but also a composition environment thing and an animation test.

And finally some animation test of the 2 main characters.

Character design WIP update!

Just some more on this work-in-progress character design. I think the chin is off-model from what I want with him but I can fix that. He'll be holding a photo of his girlfriend in the final comp. I also might squint the eyes a bit or change the expression.

The inspiration is actually this poster:

And from all that work last semester, here's my story reel for my senior film this year.

Currently I am working on model sheets for the main character. Here's some of the explorations:
