Unit 3 Story Telling: Enviroments

Developed my penguin keep a bit more..

 Perhaps not the most interesting drawing, but this is the set-out I like the most, and will be using this one to build from in maya for the scene. It's sleek and simple.
I decided to draw the area for the scene in my story board where Gie lands in a pond after his trick..

This is how all my drawings begin

With a couple of parrots added.

The problem with this drawing is that the "pond" is more of a puddle, and Gie would probably die if he landed in this. Hah!

Speed Paint: Parrot keep

This is a speed paint I did today inspired by my parrot keep I have designed.

Unit 3 Story Telling: Character & Environment design progress

Here are some sketches from when I was trying to figure out how to develop Gie so he can be identified as a male. I liked 2, but i'm still not 100%. It's stressful & heart breaking knowing I'm behind the design half of this project! 

Developed idea 2 a bit.. The quiff of hair would help the hair clip part of the scene, having hair and such..

Some sketches for how female penguins can look. Sorry these aren't numbered.

 My parrot Sushi posing for me, I was sketching him in my book which inspired these thumnails for the parrot..

 A smoother cleaner penguin keep. It's a very messy drawing. It's a bit empty but it will contract more with the parrot world. Still not happy with the design, though.

Unit 3: Story Telling - Character, Costume & Enviroment Design

I decided re-design his outfit for his "ultimate form", hehe. I wanted to make it more tropical and more in the spirit of the parrot world rather than roses like the design before.

A quick design of what the dad will look like from sketches on my story board. I haven't drawn emotions yet as I'm still not 100%

Smoothing out the penguin rookery a bit. This enviroment still isn't finished, it's lacking something. The glass on the left side will be water where you can see the penguins swim - and the right is where the audience stand. It's important that the people are in the open so they can drop stuff into the keep.

It looks dark, as intended, at the end I was thinking of having the keep well lit when Gie finally can express himself within his home.

Project 3: Story Telling; Character & Costume Design

Here I took one design from my ideas for the main Male Penguin, and developed the favoured one. I don't know if I'll keep this design, I'm not yet 100%. Here I also started an idea on his 2 friends, and tried coming up with names for the penguins. (Gie would be the main Young Male penguin.)
I also did a little costume design for Gie.

Unit 3: Story Telling; Speed Paint

Not too happy with either colour scheme or the layout generally, will have to rethink this set

Unit 3, Story Telling: First attempt at story boarding my story...

OK.
SO!! Here is my first attempt at story boarding! Yes, yes. It's very long. It's 80 shots long. I know I will have to reduce it, cut it down, but a lot of these shots won't even be a second long. I got very into the story when boarding it, it's so exciting. But, it's far from perfect. (Characters and designs not final, still being designed.)
Super rough sketches, but I hope you can understand it..
