Minor: Character Base Designs 7
One final, little edit to the Moon's neck so that she doesn't have the same one as Sun.
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.
well done, Rhia - I hope you're pleased with yourself! Right then - let's get these into 3D shall we... and then I want you to think about their materiality and their texturing: for me, these can't be 'shiny and new' - they must feel like beloved characters in some classic re-telling of an old, old story... a bit like wooden nativity figures that are brought out year-on-year to tell their story!

(lots of old gold and silver - slightly worn, very comforting to look at etc).
You'll also need to look again at the 'Poma' tutorials for the 2D face-rig on the CAA website - because you're going to need to understand those principles for your facial animation. Keep the energy up, stay positive and push through to the next stage as powerfully and promptly as possible! :)
