More characters being cut up for cel action

And Zoe has also been working on cutting up her characters:



Getting characters ready for cel action

After a tutorial with our new lecturer Nick Harrop he helped us work out how to animate our pre-production shots for "NQL." As colouring our characters is such a lengthy process due to the art style he suggested using cel action. I later asked him how I would cut up this character and he ent through how to cute from the closest to the furthest away. He also noted that we should take the stripes away as they would be a pain to animate and just make it look miss matched in cel action. And how we would only really need the 3 1/4 poses instead of a turnaround,

Here is my first attempt at cutting out the character. Starting with my initial design.

Character design for 3rd year Alex Barnes

I was given a character design from Alex Barnes and was asked to make it more illustrative and more like a 10 yr old girl. I made a mood board on pinterest and he choose this :http://leaglem.deviantart.com/art/Dotdles-311546331
as what he wanted it too look like.

I had a day to do this.  I did a lot of sketching so that Alex could pick and choose what he liked. And this was my final.

Alan sent me the charecter design coloured. I cut the head off, cut the flappy pieces up, then added the mouths in underneath.
