I found a composer to work on the film with me..! I put together a little package for him to help him understand the atmosphere and "feel" for each of the rooms. I included some keywords that came to mind went thinking about the character and space, as well as a brief description of the scene. I won't include the one I did for Room #6 (the star wars kid) yet, since the scene is still missing a lot of development in comparison to the others. Some of the room designs are more finalized than others, but I figured it would help him anyway. After I did this I figured it would have helped to do something similar in the earlier stages of planning for the film :p
Well, Some of the designs and animations are starting to come alive so I figured I could put them together with at least a snapshot of the characters in the rooms. More changes underway soon :)
The following are some amazing pieces that I admire greatly and have in one way or another influenced my work (here's to someday making something this good!)
some touch ups and changes on the mexican character. As much as I like the square zarapes (ponchos), I think this design allows for more flexibility when animating. Also, it's more integrated with the altogether-pencilness of the body, I hope.
getting to know this character a little better, her anatomy is a bit of a mystery to me still.. I'm not sure if she'll be purple, I kind of like it though!
