Character and Set Design

A couple of pages from my sketchbook, some work for this project, some inspiration and other peoples characters i've made notes on...

(I'm aware they are upside down or tilted, blame blogger, I just spent 20 minutes tidying this bunch up and getting them all ready and blogger has realigned them how it saw fit for no apparent reason and with no way to change this. Sorry.)











A selection of images before i create the bible imagery from them

Some initial sketches, concepts and character designs for Evolution:

End Character - Fat Human.

First concept of Monkey with remote control.

Holding the evolutional process around a constantly present circle (the drop) is a theme I intend to further investigate.

Key frame sketches of the cavemans long shot running cycle.

Experimental Key Frames from the Lizard/Cat/Lion walk cycle.

Concept sketches of various characters, expressions, evolutions etc.

Initial ideas for the caveman character.

Further Ideas for the caveman, and Gorilla characters.
