Telling Tales: Discussing Narrative

After narrowing down our ideas to just the two, Lauren and I had to choose which idea we wanted to run with, which proved difficult, as we felt that both ideas had equal potential. I started by writing down our ideas in a clearer way and potential character ideas for each idea in the hopes that it would spark more of an interest for one of the ideas.

However, this failed to make it any easier to choose, so Lauren suggested that we start with initial character designs, thinking this would help to motivate us to make a decision. We decided to start with the child character for our Leap of Faith idea and this is what I came up with. Personally, I wanted to keep to a very basic design, as I thought that it would be the easiest to replicate in Maya, as there wouldn't be any difficult shapes. 

Although I managed to get a few drawings down, I still don't feel any closer to figuring out which idea I'd like to run with, so we will discuss the narrative further before going on to character design.
