continued development of hero costume

These next pictures are all of my continued development of the hero's clothes. I want the hero to look sleek in comparison to the villian. I wanted to keep some resemblance to the uniform I started off with but tweak it a little bit to make it more unique.

The drawings are done to show the clothes only, but as i'm still not overly confident in my drawing ability i'm also going to add the images which inspired me and images of boots and gloves i've found which I want the modeller to use in place of my basic drawings of said items.
Some of the pictures ive drawn have written notes on them but that was just for my benifit whilst I saw what needed to be changed in the design.

hero designs

These are the versions I am trying to decide between with the hero concept. More people seem to be leaning more towards the short sleeved version as they say it looks more professional. If the short sleeved one is the design I choose then I will also design a tattoo for one of the exposed arms. The designs in particular which I am considering are numbers 8 and 9. With 11 being a more cleaned up version of 8.

masks for villian

the chosen mask is the one on the bottom left of the first page. I wanted to make the mask to slightly resemble a dolls head. As that was some of the images i looked at when creating the mask.

work recap

After getting feedback from paul he pointed out several mistakes within my story. to fix these problems im going to go back and alter the characters personality to make it easier for the audiance to relate to them.

Because with the hero i made her slightly arrogant which led to her downfall and her reason for trying to redeem herself. paul pointed out that the audiance wouldnt feel sympathy for a arrogant character when they made a mistake, they would feel like they got what they deserved even if they redeemed themselves later.

Because of this i have changed the motivation for the hero as trying to prove herself to her father who shes constantly trying to live up to. This causes her to be more rash when making choices and leads to her making mistakes rather then the arrogance.

As for the seriel killer, not to much of her past is going to come out in the skit ive chosen so leaving her history brief is best for the time being, as if would take my attention away from other areas of work.
The story itself was to complicated although i never intended to animate the whole lot, I have since written out a small skit that i will storyboard and get feedback from my tutors.

so my aims for the next week or so is to get the characters drawn up and get a first draft of the storyboard to show everyone. After that it wil be a case of refining it down more and then getting the timings done for the animatic.

family trees of hero and villian

I had to post the last post as picture images as blogger wouldnt let me copy and paste my written work straight into it, you work down from the top post to the bottom. this is what ive been working on over the last few months.

here are the villians and heros family trees. this helped me work out certain sections of the story.
