Character Design Research

After the first character design session I researched other interpretations of cartoon sharks as well as UPA characters to better understand how they look and what my character could look like.

The main take away of this early research is how little the character design for the shark is in the grand scheme of achieving the look of a UPA animation. The important parts are Colour ,Layout and the economy of space in the scene. Focusing on achieving dramatic almost surrealist images with the characters being a focal point of these minimalist designs.

After speaking with Justin we have decided that understanding the layout of the scene is more important then the design of the character themselves. The main reason being the designs are build to be economical and will develop more as I gain a better understanding of what I need them to be doing in my scene.

Major Creature 4 Texturing

Major Creature 4 Texturing The texturing process is one I enjoy and feel confident in because of this I was able to sit through the process in a few days and generate the outcome. I came back to these textures a few days later to darken the textures over all once I saw then in Arnold. I also increased the level of dirt in the textures as they looked to clean.
