Day 4: Story Development and Imagery Research

Today I finally got around to writing the ending for the story - I wrote 4, actually and did a vote on what was the best ending

Here's the final blurb for my animated short idea:

'The Aztec god of corn starts his first year at school, but quickly gets picked on
for having insanely lame powers – he summons corn. After trying to keep
optimistic and fit in with the other god students, he eventually gives up and
sitting alone, he summons pop corn for lunch – all the other gods look at what
he's eating and ask for some – he summons popcorn for everyone and
becomes happy.'

The next step is to give it more detail and write up a script!! - Speaking of which, We got another assignment, today, to animate a voice test that shows the personality of our main character, through a generic character of our choosing.
We have to write a script for it, but it's only 2-5 seconds long - a small sentence. I'm going to be thinking about that in the holidays and hopefully do some personal work - or maybe just fan art... probably just fan art.

Going back to the initial project - I also did some imagery research to develop the project's art style and scenery designs.

Still trying to find that nice blend of 2D and 3D characters.


I was given the great idea of making the god school look like Greek architecture - from there I went to Egyptian and Aztec temples.


Now I just need to actually start drawing these things, and get more of a feel for it - Should be fun!!
