Narrative // Rendered Stills

Over the last few days we have been extremely busy trying to bring all our work together, here are some rendered stills of a couple of the scenes.

Narrative // Female Character Rigged & Posed

Male Character // Rig

The rig is now finished for the male character, so I went ahead and posed him.

Male Character // Turn Around 1

Female Character // Turn Around 1

Costume Change // Design Exploration

Costume Inspiration

Character/Personality Inspiration

Male Character // Orthographic 2.0

We are still having a bit of an issue as to how the arms should be shaped to work best with both the animation and the design, which resulted in the making of the following options. (We should normally be able to use influence objects to bend the limbs in some of the gaps area.)

Female Character // Orthographic 2.0

Costume and Character // Concepts

A few skirt designs for the costume change. We were thinking using #2 as a base with some further accentuation of a cog-like design pattern.

Some body and head development from last week

Male and Female Character // Concept

Female Character // Orthographic

Male Character // Design

Male Character // Orthographic

I did the orthographic for the male character today, in preparation for modelling.

Male Character // Thumbnails 83 - 88

Today we got together and discussed the design for the characters, this resulted in quite a few changes that I've started to sketch out, he still needs some work.

Male Character // Thumbnails 64 - 82

I created some variations of the hair and the key for the character. I like 70, 75 and 76 out of these thumbnails.

Male Character // Thumbnails 60-63

I took one of the thumbnails that I thought was strongest from the last page and sketched him out a few times.

Female Character // Thumbnails #3

Male Character // Thumbnails 40 - 59

I started to explore more into some of the thumbnails from the last page i did.

Female Character // Thumbnails #2

Male Character // Thumbnails 19 - 39

We distributed the required elements between the group today, I will be working on the male character from concept to a fully resolved 3D model. Here is a page of thumbnails that I did tonight, still early stages but I quite like 23 and 37, I'm still playing with shapes and proportions.
