Russian Bear

Long time no post...

Here are some character concepts for the animation...

Figure Sketch

Museum Photo

Arrrrgh!!

Explorer in Hall

I've been toying with the idea of using photos as backgrounds and this is my first attempt...

Drawing for animation

I'm trying to find a simple style at the moment to animate (i.e. no shading, simple colours...) I might need to make the line work even more basic.

Back In Business...

First Animation Test

Did my first animation test today, showing the transformation of the bear character when he gets angry.

Apologies for the bad cropping, I had problems uploading it onto the blog....

Bear In Progress

Push the Button

A true gentleman...

Explorer designs

More explorer ideas...

Possible Characters

Here's an initial sketch for the explorer's retinue...

Robot

Robot?... Of course!

Group

The explorer will need a group to travel with, not sure on the rest of the characters yet though.

Transport

Not sure how the explorer is going to get around, the most obvious option is probably a hot air balloon...

Explorer

I've started gathering images to try and see how I want the explorer character to look...

Random guy

Here's a random character sketch...

Bear

These are the initial sketches for a soldier character, who is a bear... I wanted him to have a posh, civilised side to his character as well as a vicious animal side.
