Cinematic Production - Concept Development 03

Week 4 - Day 1 (Back to the daily grind...)

I've drawn up some model sheets for my spirit creature concepts but as I was drawing them I noticed that I like certain parts more than others, like the horns, or the tail or the body shape. I drew the model sheets for two of my favorites and a different one than what I stated in the previous post because you know people change their minds all the time.

Anyway, here they are!

I am not a huge fan of the first model sheet because not only are the horns ridiculous, the body shape is a bit too...generic to me? I mean, it doesn't SCREAM cute, but I'm glad I gave it a try anyway because it was either this or the one that looked like the snake and the snake was a bit too malicious to me in terms of symbolism.

I really like the tail and the horns of the second spirit creature and the body shape is a bit too similar to the first one but slimmer? Meh...In any case, the model sheet is a lot easier to draw but just not quite what I'm looking for.

But if you look at the third model sheet, OH SO CUTEEE, THE PUDGY BODY, THE FLUFFY NECK, THAT FACE. XD Such derp~ I like it a lot. I'm just worried how difficult it'll be to animate and how consistent it'll be. I mean, SO MUCH FLUFF!! But with great cuteness, comes great animation troubles...

I'm going to mix and match a bit of everything I like about the spirit creatures I've got so far and hope I'll get a fix on something I like by the end of Tuesday because I really want to get the rest of the concepts done by the end of the week.

ONWARDS!!

OKAY! So, same body shape but with different tufts of fur, different tails and horn shapes and size. I am really like the look of the third one! Such a clown! I'm not a big fan of the horns or the tuft of fur in the 2nd one, though, nor in the 4th one. It doesn't look good, so I'm still stuck between the original drawing and the 3rd exploration concept. I'm going to try to make a model sheet out of that one first and see how it goes from there. Maybe I can replace the weird collar for the fur instead, but smaller? I have no idea; it's all still very up in the air at this point.

(Do you like their little faces? Because I do...)

Awhh, so cuteee~ But I think I might go back to the original design anyway. XD
