Underworld - Concept Art.

The beginnings of concept art for the characters! There are no backgrounds included in these designs as of yet which will come later in addition to more dramatic use of shadow for the characters and a development in texture.

The backgrounds needs to contrast the characters in order for the characters not to be lost in the backgrounds so I am considering only using the black outlined style for the characters and simply using texture and colour for the background style. 

So these are initial poses and character interactions for the pieces of concept art, background incorporation and design to come...

Underworld - Character Poses & Expressions.

Basic character colours for turnarounds & expressions! Intending to add some more defined shadows & possibly textures, however as I want the characters to stand out from the backgrounds regarding the animation I think I'll involve less texture with characters. But pro markers, gel pen, pencil & ink.

Leucia - the mama Siren, a loving hard working character but with an aggressive streak & an ever increasing enjoyment of wine...

Thina - the power hungry teenage Gorgon daughter.

Charon - the Daddy ferryman of the River Styx.

Xander - the introverted son in training to be a helper of Hades with the dream of racing Pegasus.

Crocodile Tears - Final Shot!

This is the final shot I completed for Crocodile Tears before the final animating deadline!

I was slightly panicked as it was longer than I had anticipated for the time I had to do it... but I completed it!

In this shot as well there were also some details to change of the previous clean up as there were some continuity errors.

Underworld - Background Colour continued...

 

Kitchen colour experiments! Definitely prefer this colour scheme & style to the previous digital colour!

Experimented with a variety of textures, some real marble photograph textures to some created textures contrasting the block colour.

I think the style of the design below without the black line art is more interesting visually & more emulates the style I was looking at. Plus it's very different from what I am used to creating so I found it challenging but an interesting effect & design.

Redone rough house exterior according to the measurements & interior design created. 

Plus an upstairs layout!

Yet more procrastination...

I saw this guy driving the bus the other & felt I had to draw him...

& yet more pro marker & gel pen drawings on toned paper.
