Industry Day Poses

Front and back views of our characters were requested for Industry Day. Soooo... voila!

Example BGs

A few of my daytime BGs!

Flight test!

Fly, my pretties!

Some little sketchbook doodles as I gear up for a day of animating birds.

Colour keys!

So I came up with a colour palette for my film a few weeks ago:

And so I decided to use my old boards and do some quick (20-30 min.) paintings to test out the palette and get a feel for how the backgrounds would come together.

This one's pretty rough and ugly, but it made me realize which brushes I wanted to use and which ones I was going to avoid (standard brush--definitely avoiding).

So I came up with these ones--liking the textured simple look a lot more (though for the final BGs I'll probably go a tad more detailed). Think I'm happy with the colours now.

Time to jump into final backgrounds!

Rough layout work.

All of my layouts are now completed, but I thought I'd post some of the rough work I did before I got that far.

I'll be painting layouts over the holidays--so I should have some to share with you soon!

Finalized character designs.

Finalized Scarecrow and Statue designs.
