Barry's Ices - Character Design

This one has no place within the film, but I did it cos I'm a rebel and all that, and I like war. Hypothetically that is. Oh and its great for fleshing out the character and creating a back story yadda yadda.

Here are some of the original storyboards and concepts for my foundation grad film Spaceman.

And some photoshopp'ed ones. The fire effect on the fourth one was nice I thought, but too much to animate unfortunately.

Retroactive - Sol Character Design I

In my second year 10/2008 to 06/2009, I worked as an animator on a graduation film directed by Harry Wormwald. The film is finished now, but as the university still holds the copyright for it, I can't link it here, but I will do in two years when it expires (I think). I did some character design and animation for the film, but my main role was to design and animate the horses (or rather one horse then draw it twice), which I did.

The brief was to design the horse of Helios/Apollo/Sol, and therefore had to be the meanest, most badass sonofabitch of a steed that could totally wipe the floor with those horses the ring-wraiths had. So I did what any character designer would do and turned to my little pony. The one in the field next to uni that is. What did you think I meant?

Photoshop goodness

Here is a thing I did in June 2008, the end of my first year. Never in all my years did I think I would be able to get marks toward a degree by handing in pictures of men with guns. Who'd have thunk it? Check out the original pencil sketch after the jump.
