orchard pig sketch book development

responsive class.

the responsive class gave me and cal the opportunity to discuss the work that i had made and to talk about the next steps in our progress. i was extremely relived that cal liked the pigs that i had created. i was worried due to the fact i dont draw like this and for someone to approve of them is a mile stone for me. so defenitly in the right direction we spoke about a representation that needed to be in the animation. (not saying what it was on the blog because i dont want someone else know the shit that i had to research deep into grrrr...this is a comp after all)

my next steps are 

to create a family of marching pigs. 

a marching big wig. (queens gard) 

to create a character for the bar (the big pig)

big pig the bar tender pig!



same as before when working on the little pigs. i inked and focused on the line weight. making sure lines wasnt too thick and little, to keep that proportion and personality right. too thick and the character could look fat not sturn.



using a water colour texture, on photo shop i coloured my big pig in. im happy with how he looks. i feel iv captured a sterio type bar man in the big. checked shirt to keep home.

another screen shot of mr big pig but this time hes got a few tatts

my team partner on this project told me that he was to sort out the scene... but i want to experiment ths pig in a location. i need to know if this pig looks the part. sets the tone for the characters.

 

i have to keep the line weight style through out my images or the hole thing could just fall flat and look too miss match.



coloured the bar and attached mr big pig in the shot. i made the pumps extra big because compared to a pig i imagen they would be like this. i know it animated but i want to keep this very tongue and cheek...if not i feel like this would cry out to kids and the last thing we want is to advertise a pint to a 4 year old.

there we go. the location is a very qucik concept but it does the job. it sets the tone, it tell me that the pig looks the part and gives me an idea of what the character would look like in the animation.
