Draft Designs

After deciding what I am doing with the AB promo I have completed the first design. I have decided to use Toom Boom to do both pieces of work. I have also done the first profile design for the pirate.

 So above you can see a guide line of how my project is looking. First I drew out all of the walking of both Chuck & Chris, then i got a pictures take of the designs put it in to Photoshop and Rotoscoped over it. There was 63 drawings and 9 designs so for me to know how i could split the designs equally to show the birth of each designs growth before forming I divided 63 into 9 giving me 7 so before each drawing appears whole its built up till it reaches 7 before completion.


 As you see here i have now completed the design and this is how it will look after the design finishes animating, after each design has been formed I show you its true form with the colours what make up this design.
 This was my base point to start the Pirate concept after doing some image research I thought to use a skeleton as my base and then I added on top of that to create my first concept.
Above is the first concept design completed for Martin and surprisingly he was happy with it i did make a few changes were there is now only one boot and a prate which is the final design appearing above.

Beginning

So I decided to use 2D art style to show Another Batch designs. Over the weekend I meet with both Chuck and Chris to film them in a basic panel shot of them walking towards the camera, i asked them to were white t-shirt as it will be easier to animate with. I will be using a Rotoscoping Technique to show the growth of designs. So far we have released 9 designs so i will show from the 1st design to most recent.

Meet with Martin through the week and after speak he has asked me to design a concept for a game platform inspired of 'Street Of Rage' and 'Golden Axe'. The game name is called Pirates Vs Ninja, I will draw profile views either front and side or front and back of both characters I will also draw two poses and two level designs of them fighting or them fighting bad guys from the game level.

Idea

So Finally I Found My Client I Have Decided To Work For My Friends Who Own Their Own Clothing Line Named Another Batch As I Am Part Of The Team Thought This Would Be A Good Opportunity To In-twine My Outside Life With My Animation. I wanted to find a way of portray the designs with showing who the designer are while the designs are somehow creating them selves so I remember watching a music video were two guys was walking through different locations and different designs was animating them self on the t-shirts so i wanted to somehow to take this concept and apply it in my own way. Looking on YouTube I found a video were they used stop motion this was another way I could execute this idea. Link Below Of What I Found.

I Also Was Lucky Enough to help a third year another opportunity given to me by my tutor (Jared). I meet with a 3rd level content student named Martin Taylor who wanted assistance on concept art for a video game pitch so i plan to meet him and discuss what he requires for the concept work.
