Initial Sketches

Here's a scan of what I drew in class, as well as the basic personality description of a cavernic in general. The rest is basically all the info I posted before. Excuse the random cow like drawing.. I was brain storming >.<

Anyway, I was thinking it'll look more like the bottom one, but aim for a slouching pose, to suggest the 'hardworking' and labourous days of working in the mines. Generally he has a semi bored look when neutral, but when feeling any other type of emotion, he's quite animated.

Character Design

Here's my character's profile (basic outline, will also post some sketches later)

Name: Roco

Gender: Male

Height: 0.6m

Personality:Cheeky, strong willed, curious

Species: Carvenic

Favourite Colour: Yellow

Likes: to tease the Florafedel, travel across the lands, showing off and telling jokes.

Dislikes: Fighting, being told what to do

Fears: Being left alone, being hated

Back story: When Roco was still a child, his parents attempted to steal the iron and gold that the other Cavernics worked hard for, which resulted in them being banished.
Roco was left behind, a burden towards his parents leaving him to fend for himself. He has no other siblings, but has a best friend who is a Florafedel.

Goal: Roco aims to be accepted by his own people and rid of the other Cavernics' doubt about him.

First Post

Hello and welcome to my blog. For those who don't know me, my name's Mei. This will be a blog that will basically have updates of anything and everything that I find interesting, as well as some of my work.
In the meantime, enjoy this video if you have not seen it. It's a short film by french animators Francois Alaux, Herve de Crecy and Ludovic Houplain, which won the 2010 Sundance Film Festival animated short award.Basically they have created this world made up of advertisements that you see everyday and created a rather creative animation. Well I suggest you watch it, it truly is amazing:D
