Character Development Boards

Margaret made some character boards. Looking amazingly lovely.

Updated Turnaround

Meg made some revisions to the Sandwich turnarounds.

She also finalized the Molly turnarounds. Everything is looking great.

Sandwich Model

Started to work on the Sandwich Model for my Advance Time Based Class. I think it's coming a long. Need to finish the lettuce leaf part..

Done with the Sandwich

Just in: Sandwich Monster turn arounds are complete. I'm really excited, time to do some 3D work =).

In the end, the sandwich will be more hunched over, but I can soft-mod that afterwards.

Thanks Meg!

Gotta Love that Turn Around Progress and a glimpse of the environment

Meg cleaned up Molly's turn arounds more, they are really close to being nice and neat and tidy. Though, I am going to go ahead and start modeling. I can adjust accordingly when the turn arounds are complete in a few days. Awesome!

The sandwich is also booking along:

Meg also played with environment setting. I'm liking what she is doing, more environments will be done by Tuesday and we can get a better feel of what the layout will be like.

 

Character Turn Arounds almost done

Meg came in with the working Character Turn Arounds, they will be finished shortly. I can't wait to start modeling.

The girl is looking nice, just need to clear up some lines. And need to see the face without the glasses.

Revised monster mouth. Had confusion on he was going to move his mouth. Solved it by having the mouth under the tomato.

Finalized the Character Designs!!

Alright, Meg came in on Friday with some outstanding character designs.

Here's her sketches of the girl:

There were a lot to choose from, but we tweaked it here and there and finally chose this one:

These turn arounds should be done by the end of the week. I'm excited to get them.

As for the sandwich, she came out with some fun stuff..

This was a hard choice. Couldn't decide between the middle left and the bottom center. So we mix and matched with the arms and came up with this:

We feel like this could scare the begeebus out of someone. Lovin' it. Turn around for this little number should be done right after the girl.

New Character Designs

Meg came out with guns blazing.

She started working different variations of the character that was liked most from the previous meeting.

Lot of ideas were thrown around. Things such as:

Changing the hair style. Maybe it's parted?

Making the eyes smaller.. playing with the refraction in the glasses

Positioning of eye brows

Adjusting bagginess of paints and shirt.

Backpack looks.We enjoyed second from the left a lot 

Color Scheme thoughts

Theres a lot of nice things going on with the girl character, but just not quite there.

Meg even made some Sandwich Monster concepts. 

Immediately loved the second from the right. The crowd favorites were the second from the left, and the last two on the right. Taking parts of our favorite designs, she will be putting some more together for us.

More character revisions to come. Keep your eyes peeled.

Been 10 Days!

Wow, it's been a long time since an update. Been doing a lot of account maintenance to make sure we have places to upload videos/pictures/tweets/etc..


Had a meeting on 10/22/10. Was awesome. Meg brought in some new character sketches for the characters, but primarily the girl. Check it out:

We decided we loved the one on the top left. Next meeting she will be giving us some more concepts on the monster,girl, and a splash of color ideas.

James made a rough board of an alternate ending we could play with. Although interesting, it was shying away from our original epic ending.

In this, the girl is waiting at the bust stop. Bus pulls into shot. Girl looks into getting on to the bus. The camera cuts to the girl who is being called names from inside the bus, then a passenger throws a sandwich at her. The sandwich morphs around her and changes her world into this dark abstract world that is in her imagination. Chase begins between the girl and a giant sandwich monster. They dead end at a cliff, camera rotates over the shoulder to show the sandwich monster is gaining on her. The girl leaps and barely makes it to the other side as the sandwich leaps after her. The girl is hanging on the ledge. The girl kicks the sandwich and the monster plummets to its death.

We got more boards coming in soon. I'm excited to see them.
