Superhero


Sting scene for my animation, this will just be a quick shot without any animation to show the audience in a 20 second space that the main character can be seen as the hero of the piece with references to Superman. This was all created in Photoshop with very minimal textures added to the "J" just to make it stand out against the smooth tones of the blue top.

Sting Animatic

I have created an animatic to try and determine the speed of my final animation, a rough timing of this animatic shows the animation to be around 20 seconds. I added in a few coloured scenes that I have drawn in Photoshop to get the feel of the finished design. This test might need to be updated with slightly different timings to certain scenes, however I will upload the progression of my animatic to show the alterations that I made.

When designing the stairs I found that the perspective of my original did not work when lining up the steps to the landing, so I took the landing back slightly to make it fit better in the downstairs hallway.

Final Life Bottle Design


Life Bottle Designs

















































Concept designs for the Life bottle that will be featured in my sting, this will be used to bring the Imp doll to life.

Imp Designs












I researched into designs on the  Lincoln Imp. I wanted to design the imp as a doll so the boy had something to interact with.

Final Character Design with Costume



Main Character Costume Designs

 

Working on my character costume designs I wanted to give him clothes which looked like he had made them from clothing he had found around the house. So the cape is made from a bath towel, he is wearing a plain top with a sown on J (easily identify that he is a good character like Superman) Long socks and a part of shorts. I tried out a few different ideas with masks as well as clothes and found that even though they looked good as part of the superhero genre, it was covering to much of the characters face.

Sting Main Character Designs



 Here are several concepts for my main character, he is originally based on the superhero boy that I designed.  I wanted to make him more agile so I made him slender, seeing as he is only a young child I wanted to give him wider more expressive eyes.




Final House Cross Section Design


This is my Final house design, so alterations might be made to some aspects of the house. Depending on how the characters can move through the house. The stairs seems very flat and 2 dimensional compared to the rest of the house, I will need to work on this section when working on the final design in Photoshop.
