Princess Elspeth - Clothing Design

These are my clothing designs for Princess Elspeth. I didn’t have information about her appearance so I’m able to have full creativity on how she looks. As she is just a corpse in my film I feel I don’t need to design her to much so these 3 will be enough. My favourite design is the middle one and I will add colour to this to make sure it fits my story.

Sword Design

These are my sword designs for Galen. I decided on the handle earlier but I just needed a blade that suits it the most. I feel the the design on the far left is the best as it looks more of a warriors sword and I feel this will suit my character design much better. That design is probably the design I will choose as final.

Galen Character Modelling Sheet

Here is my character modelling sheet for Galen. Galen is fully designed and ready to be modelled, I just need to design his sword then he is totally complete.

Galen Face design - Front, Back, Top & Bottom

I have added an above view and underneath view of Galen’s head to help my understand how it looks from different angles. 

Galen Clothing Design - Final with Colour

I have taken my favourite clothing design and added colour. Out of the 3 my favourite colour scheme is the far left design. This is the colour I will use for my character I now just need to apply the head and do a front, back and side views ready to be modelled.

Galen Clothing Design 3

I felt I needed to do a couple more clothing designs. Even though I like these two I’m going to go with a previous design I created as I feel it suits my character better.

Galen Face Design with Expressions

I have now designed some of his facial expressions. I have tried to draw expressions that I think will be used during my animation.

Galen Face design

This is my facial design for my main character Galen. I have based the face on mine and just added a beard. I have done this to save time on trying to design the type of character I want. This way I can also pull the expressions myself and not have to fiddle adjusting them for a different type of face.

Storyboards 7-11

I have done another 6 boards, below is the script these go with;

(Frame 7 & 8) Galen grips his sword tighter and pushes on. (Frame 8.5) (Frame 9) Suddenly he stops and picks up an embroidered slipper (Frame 10):(Frame 11) Elspeth’s. 

Storyboards 1-6

Here are the first 6 storyboards for my animation. Below is the section of the script these represent;

DRAGON’S LAIR

(Frame 1)

Smoke swirls at the mouth of the cave as Galen enters, holding his sword before him, lighting his way with its faint blue glow.

  

 (Frame 2)

GALEN

Elspeth!

The floor of the cave as it winds down into the mountain is paved first with rock, then with dragon scales, then with bones.(Frame 3) With each footfall, clusters of mysterious insects scuttle away.(Frame 4)(Frame 5) Galen pauses to mop his brow; it’s getting hot. (Frame 6) A sound echoes up from the depths, a grinding sound like the gnashing of teeth, followed by hissing and squealing.

Storyboards

I have been told by my tutor that I should leave the character designs for now and concentrate on doing some storyboards as I have so much work to do and need to work quickly to get through it. He also feels that the character designs might be created/influenced while I’m doing my boards.

I will start them today and will post them as they are created.

Galen Clothing Design 2

This is the second lot of Galen designs I have done, I may just do another few more and then get some feed back on them, maybe combine a few of the designs I like and see how that takes me.

Moving everything from Tumblr

I know everything is posted on today but I have only just figured out how to properly user Blogger so I am currently moving all my posts over from Tumblr to here.

Galen Clothing Design 1

I have done some character designs for the main character, Galen, I have designed them based on the information that I was given in the extract I chose.
