The idea

They are just drawings, they will be properly scanned back at the uni, the bottom image is the main idea from my "negotiation project" it shall be a comedy, goofy, slapstick world of strange animals, based on inspiration from old cartoons, monster books and my imagination.

Duckman and Insect-ball ar the main characters, one always tries to eat the other, fails while the other always gets away. Involves angry mother, cute baby, bully predator, an elephant thing that gets pummeled, bugs, evil bunny thing and some kind of burp beast.

Negotiation project 2011

Here it is, its still a working progress because its a mix of 2d rough animation and my animatic but thats what makes it goo, because you know whats the timing like and where the action is. I enjoy making this and would actually, given a longer deadline, make a full, clean animation. It was better to start off making the animatic first and then the background layouts, organisation is needed. I normally worked on whole scenes together, i should have started off with working on one scene at a time, i only did that afterwards. I prefer working on the software of toon boom and discovered a few tricks that i can use again for next year.

Pitch Project

This Pitch Project is about 4 characters on a boat who sail across the sea and discover new places, The object for the picth is to present a cartoon and the first pilot episode. I was instructed to draw one of the characters and any other additional areas to the plot.

Mc Umbrey is a typical english sea folk sailor, who spends most of his time taking care of his boat. He enjoys a good drink and social games, mostly him ending up sleeping in a barrel. He takes great pride into telling tales about the sea, most is fictional and has not been proven or even seen.

Butus, is a giant Tiger shark that lives in teh great depths pf the sea, usually destroying other boats. He is the antaonist of the pilot episode, basically the characters want to attract something bigger when fishing and accidentily get the attention of this sea monster.
