Eucroma IV

 Here's the rest, cleaned up storyboard key moments for the storyworld book and illustrations for the presentation.

Storyboarding was a very great experience because i had a great director to work with, i learned a lot and i also got a lot of positive feedbacks. This is not the full storyboard tho, these are the cleaned up key moments for the storyworld book. The detailed one is very messy because - as usual - we didnt have the time to cleane it up:

 Illustrations for the presentation about the target audience and the conflict with the penguins:

Eucroma has been a lot of fun and a great experience, i made a lot of great friends and met some talented people i hope to work with in the near future! This semester itself worth a lot more than my previous 2 years on my uni, im so happy i had the chanse to be a part of it!

Eucroma IV

 Cleaned storydrawing concepts for our porject book. They're a bit more.... illsutrative than they should be, but its because they'll be painted like they were rendered, so the outlines will be gone evetually.

blogspot is the biggest bitch when it comes to posting pictures, im actually amazed by how incabale it is to handle more than 2 pictures.

Eucroma II

So. Im a bit busy like crazy with the animatic since a week now and im pretty sure i wont really be on character design duty for a while, since the production team has things to work with, and we cant change things til the second part starts anyway. (DONT ask about the Eucroma system, i dont understand it either. i guess its more game developer than cartoonist friendly. or we could also say its pretty much a nightmare to develope a cartoon this way, but it could be worse i guess?)

Anyway.

In, case anyone missed it, heres the pervious post, click.

I designed Gus, the polarbear, our main character and since he's pretty much established now, im posting some character development sketches.

He originally was just a regular, grumpy polarbear who wants his ice back, and since we knew its going to be in 3D we were going to a more realistic directiont:

until i drew this.

that second bear was just for fun and i forgot to delet it before we presented them but the storyworld director liked it and thats when our endless struggle with translating a terrific 2D Gus into a horrible 3D Gus started:

blocky-bear variations:

we still gave a chanse to ice-berg Gus, so i had to drew som poses for him, to see how he works:

but at the end we settled with this:

of course it wouldn't have worked in 3D at all, so i had to come up with something more 3D-ish. Especially for the legs:

disco bear was kind of a breaking point that day.

Meanwhile Gus became a manic-depressive alcoholic:

one last funny expression sheet before everything goes horribly wrong in 3D:

And this is pretty much what we have now.

Bonus storydrawing, because of the penguins:
