I have also moved on to designing props and what props will be needed, so quite happy with what I have come up with and it isnt looking too bad in terms of modelling time. I am begginning to move onto background designs at this point and really want to push myself to get them sorted by next week.
I have also decided to create some marquettes of my characters I struugle to get them to look exactly how I want them on paper and i think this will pay off when i move onto modelling tthem in maya. So far I have finished both the main characters in clay and I am really happy with the results. I did have a bit of a problem getting them to support their heads but I decided to put a wire skeleton inside each model and this has really helped keep them together. It is quite strange, I thought I would of struggled a lot more with creating the marquettes as I have not dealt with clay much, but it felt quite natural and was so much easier getting them to look the way I intended in comparison to drawing them. So really happy I went ahead with it and just have the three child characters to go. I will put some pics up once they are done. I have also been thinking a bit more about my story and recently watched Pixars shor Partley Clouded which is just amazing. I really loved the relationship between the cloud and the stalk and was thinking that I would like my two main characters to build a strong connection between eachother but not too sure how yet. So aim for now is too finish off my marquettes, backgrounds and then move on to modelling my characters in Maya. I need to also push my self to do more training so I feel confident in doing this project when I get back after summer .
