Week 03 Project Hiroshi

Epic fail? Maybe...

I liked the foreground enough with the squirrel and the log but when I played with adding the background trees things took a turn for the worse. I drew a small scene with trees, put it in the scene and then painted it and duplicated it a couple times for a "thicker" woodland look. I think it is too dark, too devoid of color and lacking the character the rest of the background has. I think it will be back to the "drawing board". (Get it?)

New/old guy: Village Elder

This character design sheet is for my class, but I hope to develop this guy for my senior project next year. It's early in his development so he will likely change quite a bit.

The Feared King of Games

This character sheet is for a project in my character design class. We swapped sketches/descriptions with others in class and had to create a character off of that info. Here's what I came up with:

 

Week 02 Project Hiroshi

This second panel features the other half of the pair of hunters from my idea for a short animation. The background in this panel would continue off from the background of the first piece. I kept the construction paper overlay as feedback on it was pretty much all positive. Would love any thoughts on how hunter 2 goes with/visually counters the first hunter.

People-in-motion

This is my most recent homework from my Cafe Sketch class, had to draw people (as best we could) in the middle of making some sort of movement.

Bouncing Ball!!!!!

This is my bouncing ball from animation 1!

Week 01 Project Hiroshi

This piece is the first of four that will feature each character from what I hope will be my first animated short. I played with style for a few days before settling on this mix of line work and digital color...I'm pretty happy with the results. I intend to add more to the background in the actual piece to create more of a sense of being in the woods. The leaves took a LONG time, the whole image probably took about 8 - 9 hours from start to finish.

 

I also played with a construction paper overlay (in keeping a little more with the Hiroshi-ness of the project), so here is what that looks like. I also dulled the chroma of the leaves and the guys boots a little.

I'd love to know which one people like more.
