Week 6 Update

Week 6 was another week filled with colour! I spent the entire week working on artwork for War in Wunderland. I did not manage to aquire any work from the other groups. They are all either in a stage where all the work is being completed 'in-house' in their three's or they were not available for me to contact them in uni.

War In Wunderland

This week I completed 3x character preliminary expression sheets (9x expressions per sheet, 3x sheets in pencil then 3x sheets in digital colour - the colour ones are available to view online) and 54x colour concept alternative monkey colours. The alternative colours were designed to be different from 'Red' so he would stand out from the other working monkeys. I drafted 18x colour schemes for the monkeys (including 'Red' who is actually pink) then created a light and dark colour scheme for each one (each colour scheme has a light, normal and dark scheme so we know which colours to use in bright light or dark shadow). The beauty of producing so many colours together is that even if some are not picked, ones from the dark or light sheets may be - then these can be drafted up with lighter and darker colour schemes. These are all shown below: -

Here are the expression sheets. I went for basic expressions to begin with so that the favoured ones could be chosen and any more exaggerated or obsure ones could be drawn up if they were missing. At one point the monkeys talk so when the sound comes in for that segment I will draft out the lip sync mouths. Here is Red, Robot and Secret Agent Monkey.

As I mentioned before there isn't an awful lot going in the main groups i'm working for at the moment so I may have to branch out and steal some work off of the other groups in order to keep busy next week.
