Minor: Character Base Designs 2

Still working and reworking Sun and Moon's designs with feedback that I have been getting, it is a little annoying but it's the only way that I'll be able to create the strongest designs.

Moon's new crown does seem to have something going for it as it looks alot softer and calmer but there is something bugging me about it. The Sun on the other hand seems to be giving me more trouble with their body shape with the latest problem being the tail shape, but by looking at the feedback that I have been given and creating a small mock up of the idea I can see how this new design might work alot better than what I already have.

    Hi Rhia, I think the suns shoulders could be broader to make him more masculine, a really masculine form makes a triangle where the widest part of the triangle refers to the shoulders and it tapers down towards his feet, like the middle drawing of this picture. - https://www.swwilsonclothiers.com/right-suit-mens-body-type/

Minor: Pre-viz and notes

Image
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.

@Alan Collaboration: Walk Test

Walk Cycle test from Rhia Crouch on Vimeo . Been trying to work on Moom's walk for a skit but I'm not sure what else to do before I put him in to the screen so I can work out him swimming and coming out of the water. He is meant to walk as if he is weigh down by the goo and also wobbels a little bit. I know the eyes are off and there seems to be a phantom animation going on with his right hand that I can't work out.

Premise: Feedback Ideas

After presenting my ideas for my animation I was given the idea of making the characters of the Sun and Moon look like paper lanterns. This idea would fit in with giving the story a sense of history and culture along with helping me to think about the overall designs of the characters.
