Underworld - Initial Character Turnarounds.

Initial characters for the other three members of the family! Only rough & initial as I'm aware some adaptations may need to be made regarding animating & the style. Also I am aware that one side of them is armless... just to show shape & detail etc they're not just a one armed family...

Charon - the Papa destined to take people across the River Styx.

Xander - the younger son in training to be a minion of Hades.
Last pose is a liiiittle bit off weight wise, take two!


Leucia - a Siren, in love with her job.

All will need to be neatened up & coloured & inked in such anyway...

Crocodile Tears - Inbetweening & Clean Up!


In addition to doing clean up & colour for the third year project Crocodile Tears I also did inbetweening for some shots.
The shot above was the main shot I inbetweened which I struggled with initially as although I obviously can go from kneeling to standing I am not a crocodile... so I struggled to think of the timing etc for the shot. But forgetting that the character is a crocodile I worked on the timing by acting out the movement & working out the faster & slower details of the animation.
I also completed the clean up on this piece.

Deep - Storeroom Model & Perspectives.

Experimenting with perspectives for the store room shot! Trying to get the perspective right to see the character walk through the door without having the light bulb & solar system over the top...

The original perspective from the storyboard.







Underworld - Background Inspiration.


References & inspiration for backgrounds for the Underworld sitcom, particularly the interior cave type background & Charon's boat mooring.

Underworld - Character Colour.


Water colour with fine liner hatching similarly to the backgrounds so as not to juxtapose the style too much...
