Proof of Concept

So this is the style I would like to see the final film in.


Basically I want the backgrounds in the film to be washes like these. Here I was experimenting with different colors for the establishing shot.

Rough Expression Sheets

This boss character doesn't really have a wide range of expressions in the film; he's pretty much limited to neutral, wtf, and vomit.

Messing around with shadow and color.


Here's the rough turn-around of the minor boss character

And this is basically the size comparison of all the characters

Style

This is somewhat the the style that I want the final film to be in...but I'm still kinda experimenting.


And here is a rough turn-around for the guy, and a revised model sheet for the girl.

Rough Turn-Around

First rough turn-around of the girl character, and some other sketches.

Turning in Perspective

After failed attempts at just trying to draw the girl's head in perspective, I decided to actually sculpt a mini head to help me with the dimensions...and holy moly it helped SO MUCH! I highly recommend actually sculpting out designs to fully understand how they look in 3D.

The drawings at the top are pre-sculpture experience. Her head was not looking how I wanted it to...and I just could not get the whole turning-in-3D concept without having the physical piece in my hands.


And since this exercise was so helpful with the girl, I went ahead and tried it with the guy character. In my original designs I wanted him to have that little tuft of hair but after sculpting his head, I realized it will probably just end up being a hassle in animation. But who knows, I may bring it back lol.

Sketches

Here are some early sketches of the girl and guy characters. Also some ideas for the funeral home.



I wanted the girl's profile to look like the center left image, but turning that design in perspective will be the difficult part when I start animating her.

First Post!

So I finally manned up and decided to make some sort of documentation of the works in progress of my senior film with the working title of Flowers; and thus, this blog came to be!

First thing's first, here is the story reel of the film:
