Character Models for Episode: Ready for Animation!

I'm in the process of arranging the scenes as we speak, so in the meantime, take a look at these beautiful character models I've built for this episode!  I spent a lot of time and effort getting each one to look as close to the original design as possible without compromising quality or motion potential, and it really shows in the over all product when your characters are built properly from the beginning.  Some animators build as they go, but I believe that you risk building characters for the moment that will all look different from each other and not be as compatible and uniform to your overall style you've chosen for your show.


All the technicalities aside, these are some fine looking character models and I'm very proud of them, especially considering that they are an approximation of someone else's work... I gave them my own flare where I could, but this was more about attacking a particular look, per the request of the producers.

Character Map Properly Proportioned, 1 Character Left!

Here we can see now that our main character Solomon is the correct proportion to the other characters in the episode, and so now any zooming we do with the symbols will maintain the consistent integrity throughout the different models, as opposed to distracting your eye with obvious pixelation and graphic edits that make an animation "clunky" when we obviously want something more seamless. Believe it or not, I had to resize each layer a second time for every symbol, which is what took so long. I literally got stuck all day on resizing vectors, which is why it's so important to have a good character proportion chart to work off of FIRST! I've put this in my notes for next time... Stay tuned, I've got one more character (this time I'm going to proportion the screenshot to match the approximate size of the character sheet and do it that way, I'm certain it will save me time) and then we are DONE BUILDING CHARACTERS!

Technical Issue - Character Proportions

Image
Nothing to be alarmed about, but I am dealing with a little extra tedious work with this character model in getting it to properly size to the height proportions that are appropriate. The solution is simple but tedious, so I'm going to take a break and come back in a little bit to continue!  More updates soon!
