Responsive Collaborative: Testing New Textures

I very quickly tested some different textures as it was suggested in our meeting, and I think I prefer it to my original tests. I like how the textures makes the shapes more interesting and this way gives the subjects more realism.

Texture Test

My next step with this project was to carry out a test animation of how the beanstalk would sprout of the ground. I completed some initial sketches before I got started so I knew how it was going to look like and how it was going to form, and once I had a good idea of what I was after, I did a quick sketchy animation in Photoshop.

Beanstalk Animation Test

I was really pleased with how it formed, and when I showed Tyler he thought it was very nice movement, so I went ahead and coloured in the frames in a similar style to how I had created other components. Once I had done this I experimented with textures once again, as the colours on their own feel too plain now I have seen what other works have looked like with texture.

Carrying out this test animation has made me really excited to get started with the rest of the production. I shall see what Tyler thinks of my work, and see what he has to offer in terms of final character designs and hopefully we can make a start soon.
