Week 14- Character sheets

This week started out with good news, I received my Test book! Though there are obviously aspects that I need to tweak, having the physical book in my hands has been helpful. Now I know the printing quality/time Iv'e been able to plan around that which has given me an extra week to get my work done., which should give me enough time to have this book proof read by as many people as possible.

Bit of the inside work

my work this week was mainly character based I've wrapped up my characters  with render passes and some expressions/gesture work. Considering I had only planned to have 3 characters with this level of detail I definitely got carried away with these characters, which is bad from a planning aspect, but great for myself personally. I'm proud that I've made characters that I do want to take froward into further development.

WIP gesture work for Thumbelina's mother

My finished characters I put on some rough sheets, just to organise my files a bit:

 I also went back and fixed some issues with Thumbelina's design. Her design had been bothering me for weeks, I have kept working and reworking her for awhile now, which took some time and ended up pulling me too far away from my initial designs. So late this week I decided to only paint over Thumbelina, rather that making a completely new character, make the changes as minimal as possible. Which ended up with a simple design that I like. I'm really happy that I can go with this design, (though a little annoyed that it took forever, can't win them all.)
