Back on Track

On Monday I had a motivational talk with tutor Phill and now I think I have a solid direction to move in regarding my project Idea.

Aim:
To produce three characters a villain, hero and the heroes sidekick. each character will be carefully designed by first looking and drawing the natural poses of the real animals. Each character will end up having poses, equipment, colour and silhouette sheets. the all characters will be modeled and then rendered with a turn around the hero character will be animated with some walk cycles and poses.

Animal types:
Hero: Weasel
Sidekick: Silverfish/Firebrat or combination
Villain: Stoat

I hope to produce a bulk of useful poses and experiments with characters by next week learning how the characters would move and the proportions.

getting there with the painting stuff

I went through a digital painting toutorial today and found it to be quite usefull below is a silverfish I drew from a few sources above.
