Perfecting the Cactus. Starting to refine boards.

This week, I started finalizing one the character designs. I believe I will do one character a week. I also developed a construction sheet, trying to see how the Cactus is constructed.

I also did a second pass on the first third of the film, right before the bird enters the film.

Final Silhouettes and Rough Boards!!!

This week I  tweaked the character designs, and finally roughed the whole film out in Storyboard Pro. Next step is to make character model sheets, and also tweak/refine the storyboards.

Below I posted the updated silhouettes, and also the rough boards for the film!

Figuring out Silhouettes and Refining Thumbnails.

 This week was all about finding the right silhouettes for the three characters. Now the character designs will probably change a bit, but the silhouettes will be about the same. Below are the three that I enjoyed the most.

 Here are some more doodles leading up to the three silhouettes I had chosen.

 ...And finally, here are some notes I made on the story. The next step now will be jumping into storyboard pro doing rough boards.

First Post!!!! Getting Started!!!

Today is the first week of production on my senior thesis, "The Cactus and The Faucet"(working title).   This week and next week will be committed to tying down the story, and to get an idea on what the characters will/could look like. Below I've posted some storyboard thumbnails, and I also posted ideas for the two main characters, cactus and the bird.
