Telling Tales: Character Ideas

Progressing forward with our project, Lauren and I had decided that we wanted to go down 2 possible routes for character designs, these being either robotic or more of a 'squishy' nature. Following on from the initial character designs I'd been playing around with a few weeks ago, I also did a few quick sketches of different robot shapes and few more 'squishy' character shapes, so Lauren and I could look at them and make a decision on which characters we wanted to explore and develop further.

Although there a variety of different shapes, Lauren told me that she wanted to go more detailed than this, as she felt that she would be able to handle designing a slightly more complex character. Personally, I feel that we shouldn't go into too much detail, as even simple shapes appear to be deceptively easy to create in Maya, so we have come to a compromise of a little more detail but not too much.

After discussing which ideas we liked best, Lauren showed me some character designs she had been doing of animals and we decided that we'd like to focus on the animal characters more, as we feel that these will work best for our story, rather than the robots.
