Simplicity is the king

Posted twice in two days! Great momentum I am sensing.

If the story idea already sounds too simple and naive for you, here comes a even simpler character design. Yes, ultra simple, as straightforward as even the creator himself.

I am showing some design sketches I did, which would 95% resembles the final look.

It is my first short, so I was hoping that it wont look too bad. (People keep saying that your first idea or creation always sucks) For that reason, I decided to allow it to suck, but not too much, must be within my tolerance range.

I have started to create the 2D animatics for the short. Actually it is going to be a bit more than just 2D animatics. They are going to be some 2D animation plannings in Flipbook. Most of them are going to be on 4s. Doing these helps me to have a better vision of the whole film. I figured they are going to be super helpful for my animation in later stage. Plus, I can use it as a reference for rigging process.
