further character development







Above are some sketches i did to play around with preportions of the body and head. However the group felt like the characters shouldn't be too exagerated, as opposted to being stylised, as we all had the same vision already as to how the characters looked. So it was just a matter of refining the previous designs, and to give them a more stylistic feel.


So here are the final designes that the whole group are happy with. Befor the characters looked to real, as Mike pointed out, and i do think that he was right. The edited versions are more softer and have more vulnrability to them, which Anna Dan and Jake are happy with, as am i. I felt that most of the change was made in the faces of the girls. I gave them a more bean shaped eye, which i think was the most lifelike feature originally, and straight away they gained a more doll like feel to them. i gave them smaller chubbier hand and little feet to play around with preportions also.







I asked if i could be the one to draw up the character concept sheets for annas characters, using her original designs as reference, which are shown above. In the meantime the whole group spent alot of time developing the story together, to something that we are all happy with as it currently stands. We all we'er happy to axe one of the characters so we could use Dan's design he made for his original pitch. His original character concept is shown below.
