some texturing tests for swash

just some life drawing

the brig - rough - no texture

my pitch

for my pitch i decided to put together some concept art into sequence along with some music. overall i think the pitch went pretty well. i got some good feedback and critisisms. i also tried to stand my ground a little but. not to be cocky or stubborn. but felt that some comments would take me down a different route such as, the suggestion to show some kind of a backstory. i think this would have given the viewer too much info and i think would lead to people questioning how the characters dont know they're in a bottle.

new buckle

i have decided to re-design buckle because i was worried that the characters were starting to look too similar. i wanted to make him look more brutish and also keep it stylized. to do this i started to loosely draw bears (coz you know... theyre big and scary!) and whilst the dawings were still loose i turned the features ino human features. this was still a bit complicated so i started to simplify it by picking out the most promonent features and exagerating them. even the body was based on a bears. i gave him big lumbering forearms making the arms look heavy rough and heavy. this was the result.

buckle - brutish pirate prison guard

swash - bad drunken pirate

dodger - main character

some character designs

corked

this is the working title of my film. i dont know if il keep it as it may give away too much before i want to reveal the punchline.

finally idea 3: a pirate in a bottle

this was actually my first idea but wasnt resolved so i went for other ideas, wasting lots of time only to return to it.. grrr. i have gone through a little journey with this idea. it started to get a bit epic, involving mermaids fishtanks and sunken treasure! oh well maybe in the sequel!!!!!!!

idea 2: fetch

these are some conceptual character designs of my 2nd idea. it was about a guy in a flat who was tired and irratable and had an energetic little dog who after being alone all day wanted to play! i stopped this project because i thought it was kind of a weak idea and it was hard to relate to the characters

idea 1: bigfoot

these are some character designs for this idea. the basic idea was thatbigfoot wanted to be famous, turning the known illusive nature of the mythical beast on its head. whilst he aspires to be famouse he befriends a young photographer who helps him to launch his own career.

mix up

whilst we were doing our mashups i got to thinking about how i can incorperate two different movie ganres in one sketch.
this sketch was a fusion between 'the joker' and 'grease'

i love firefly

just some sketches of some of the characters from the show

some more random

the inspiration for these drawings came from watching the new dragonball movie and seeing how shockingly ribbish it is compelled me to draw one of the charactersbin my own style.
