Character Exploration Sheets

Above are two character exploration sheets I did for my Storyboard & Development class. I tried exploring some different styles but ended up coming back to the design close to what I had originally and am happy with how these two turned out (final designs are center). I would have cleaned these up some more but don't have a lot of extra time lol. Will be posting more soon!

Conflict Storybeats

So for this assignment we had to chose one of our conflict story ideas that we came up with and draw out some beats to it.  I really liked how these two turned out and hope to develop them more soon!

Moments - Storybeats

In class we all picked a 6-word-fiction story and had to draw it out in 6 panels with a specific type of transition. So as you can see I got "And God said, 'Cancel Program Genesis'" with subject to subject transition. I am pretty happy with how this worked out. :D

Storybeats - Environment

For this assignment we had to choose one of our environment concepts and come up with a story from it! So I choose to use the gas station/food market environment with my girl and guardian angel characters (more info on that soon lol). Hope you like! :D

kind of a long post sorry about that. . . at least I didn't upload my original 15 storybeats/storyboards haha

The gist of the plot above is a girl and her guardian angel go into a gas station/market and while she gets food he goes and gets himself in a pickle. 

More coming soon!

Environment Concepts

Below are the drawings I did for my Storyboard and Concepts class! I am really proud of these and it was totally worth it spending this much time on them. :3 I hope to expand on these characters in the near future (*cough* final project *cough*). 

The theme of the first one was "ordinary characters in an extraordinary environment". I really love how the colors turned out but I can see that I still have a lot of improvement to go in the realm of painting digitally though. 

This next one's theme was the opposite of the one above - so "extraordinary character in an ordinary environment". So what's better than a girl and her guardian angel stopping by the gas station to grab some cheap soda?

So there you have it!

now to go and finish cleaning up my stomp cycle lol ;__;

Storyboards 02

Here are some storyboards (more like storybeats) that I did for this week! :D I'm pretty happy with how these turned out! 

Remember the otter-zookeeper I did last week? Yeah, I had to revise it (which is fine) to make it more otter like I guess (see below for revised version) The assignment was to make a storybeat from a fable that we chose with our animal characters. The fable/moral I chose was "it sometimes happens that one man has all the toil, and another all the profit." So hopefully you can kind of see it here. 

 I did this quick so I could get to my storyboards. I'm okay with how this turned out . . . My prof. was pushing us all to get out of our comfort zones (which is great) its just now since I'm experimenting it doesn't look that great. oh well.

Till next time!

Zookeeper Sketches

For my Storyboard & Concept class we were tasked with drawing a character inspired/based on an animal and a job title. So I got an otter and a zookeeper! Overall, I am pleased with the result (the bottom left drawing lol). The other sketches were some I hashed out quickly (kind of) to get some momentum cause I had the hardest time drawing something I was happy with. 

So yeah! I'll be posting some more stuff throughout the week! :D

Zodiac Sign Characters

These are the 4 characters that I had to create/design (with backstories and all) for my Storyboard and Concept class. We had to use archetypes, like the four elements, the Gospels, etc. I used 4 of the zodiac signs: Leo, Virgo, Gemini, and Cancer. I'm pretty excited about these characters and hope that I get the chance to develop them more! :D

3 Self Portraits

Here are my 3 self portraits for my Storyboard & Concept class. My assignment was to draw a realistic (use photo reference) version of me then draw two stylized ones that I will use the rest of the semester. I love how these all turned out! 

welp let's hope they look like me lol
