BA1a Character Concepts

This is the piece I chose to be my final concept. I feel the mood portrayed is the exact look I was trying to achieve.

I felt as if this piece was too 'cute' and didn't quite capture the feeling I was aiming for.

Whereas in my other two designs my character is quite obviously not an adult, this piece makes my character seem older. This was not appropriate as I was designing the Shoemakers "boy".

I went with the design I had previously taken an interest in. My character is draped in a vibrant red cloak/shawl, with baggy blue patterned trousers. As the shoemaker's boy did not play a large part in The Tinderbox I wanted to make him stand out as much as possible, a hero in his own quest.

Using sketches of "Hiro" from Big Hero 6 as a reference I drew out what I wanted my character to look like with a face, something I dreaded since starting on this brief.







Trying to establish my characters hair colour and skin tone was difficult, I really need to practice drawing humans. This is definitely not my forte.

On my character sheet I show my character's running movements, I could have shown more than this. I feel that it would be a struggle to animate my character doing much more considering the detail I would like to be applied to his clothing.
