This week was our first presentation of our project.
There were no major problems overall, but Frienderd felt that our characters were too much like the little prince. Although we don’t think so, given the atmosphere and the more relaxed pace of the story.
We decided to tweak our main characters.
At the beginning we had two directions: anthropomorphic creatures and a dwarf.
After a vote, we went for the anthropomorphic creature.
Then there were still two options: a rabbit and a squirrel. In my opinion they were both very cute and perfect for our story.
But the team member in charge of the animation part suggested that we use the rabbit as the main character because the squirrel’s tail animation was difficult to control. And this year is the year of the rabbit 🙂
Then I looked up some references to rabbits.
Then I did some experimentation with the rabbit’s hat.
Finally I did some colour style comparisons (for one colour)
Finally, I tweaked the rabbit’s ears a bit and did some colour contrast (A-D for one colour)
The second half is devoted to some costume designs (1-5).
