Designing Characters and Props

Here are some of my design drawings, pretty typical of my design process for animated characters: just a few rough sketches until I get an idea or a look that works for me.

Since I'm making all the computer models myself, I don't need to be precise in nailing down every detail, I just need to get the gesture and style and make sure these characters can successfully share the same space. Apologies for the crappy scans.




The Spaceship: my one 'prop'. Yay!



 

You'll notice I've mostly sketched my characters together. Because the film centers around this relationship, it was essential from the start for me to capture that connection between them.



 

Ok, so this isn't a design sketch- its a background plan for making the models- hence the poses are stiff and there's no relationship between them. This really is just a guide for scale and proportion.
