1st town and forest entrance design layout for thesis.

This is my 1st sketch for the beginning of the film, it will be just to show that the character is part of a community but at the same time I wont have to show it throughout the whole film because the idea will be stated at the beginning. The character actually lives in the outskirts of the town, but this will show how much nature means to the people in this place and why they protect it. The place the town's knights protect is almost like a sacred grove.

The person you see in the foreground is the main character. I like this design by the way, because it has a cinematic feel, which is what I like to make in my sketches.
This was draw in my sketchbook and edited in photoshop.

Thesis Character Sketches

This is my thesis character that am developing. Some small changes have been made to his shoulder armor in more recent drawings though, but this is his color scheme. The bottom model sheet has also udergone some changes in the hands, it will not have armor in the final product because am removing any uneeded details to ease my animating time. This film has to be made in 8 months so amount of detail is something to consider when designing for aniumation. Also because its a one person project. But I want to take it to another level this year.

There will be more posts to come :)
