Final Animation Character Designs

I began to branch out and start designing more of our characters for the ‘Under World’ as I felt now that I had conducted research into the historical contexts that I wanted to reflect in my piece my characters would now have substance. Certain characters have been redrawn from Hannah’s ideas as I wanted to have a collective sheet of all our characters before I start to figure out our storyboard. Quite a few of our designs have changed as we’ve axed a few characters as they no longer worked in our new concept.

‘The Mother’ and ‘Mutation’ are characters redrawn the same from Hannah’s character designs.

We wanted our characters to represent ‘Human Horrors’ that have taken place in the real world.

I have also chosen to redesign the main character for our animation, I felt perhaps he wasn’t so unique beforehand so I wanted to try something different. I’ve still kept the flower light as me and Hannah loved that Idea but I have changed the hat and the outfit slightly.  I’ve also changed my drawing style as me and Hannah are now pulling towards the slightly more sketchy look rather than clean cut.

I like how the hat has eyes and the way in which the hair is styled almost looks like the hats teeth.
