Sketches

Last step before the final model sheet. Please bear with it a little longer :P

       Some research on the ears...

 

And some random sketches ... Trying to get the spirit of the character

 

Concept Art - Final

And here is the final character design selected. Or so I thought. But it changed little by little while I was doing the storyoard so you'll have to expect some (minor) changes again.

For the little story, the character was a faun but he began to loses his faun-like features (the goat bottom and all) and looks more and more like a human as the forest dies.

In his little purse he has the last seeds that can save the forest, his job is to go to the heart of the forest and "load" the seeds with the spirit of the oldest stone and then go spread it around.
But the enemy is near and under the shape of an iron griffin, hunts him down.

So, next time : last sketches before the final-final design of this little fellow :)

Concept Art Fail

When you don't get what you want at all

For the first one, I had in mind that the character is originally a guardian of the forest... And I got this weird anime-type design. Bluh.

Well, I kind of like it but it doesn't suit the spirit of the story... The character has to be cute in a way.

Which bring us to the second fail... I kept thinking "He has to be cute he has to be cute..." and... voilà !

I fell in love with the ears so I'm keeping it. But for the rest : garbage ! :)



I didn't have that much design, finally since I had a pretty clear idea of the character when I started working on this. (But with much time, I would've loved going farther and looking for more daring designs ...)

Anyway, next time : the selected design of the character !
