Male Character Concepts.

Male characters (shock horror!! I rarely draw males...) on brown paper with mechanical pencil & gel pen.

Further Brown Paper Experiments... Pastel is involved...

Some experiments with white pastel on brown paper with some pencil & charcoal thrown in.

Deep - Corridor Change of Perspective

The corridor needed to be viewed from a slightly lower angle in the shot to reduce certain elements of the animation - the legs moving in this case... Which I actually found quite difficult. I couldn't quite seem to grasp how the whole perspective thing works for a little while & had to look at several references.

There's also the addition of Greek elements in the form of statues & further detail added to the ceiling as more of it is visible.

Deep - Store Room Development.

The beginnings of the concept for the store room in the 101 Dalmations style scene. Playing around with ideas for the wall with the main detail at first to develop later.

Below is the initial concept for the store room, with inspiration from some of the 101 Dalmations shots.

However after discussion with the director it was said that it should be less destroyed in it's appearance... so a little clean is required...

The design below is the second design for the store room wall, revised to be less destroyed & with the addition of Greek references in the form of the statue. Also slightly modernised with a hoover included...

Pre Production - Concept Development.

A concept piece for pre production.

Initial idea is of a female mermaid who's world is ruined by an oil spill, her journey to discover what is the source leads to devastating results & the damnation of herself.

Also first attempt at a real digital painting... I think I need more practice...
