Sorry for the delay! I promise I'll be getting on a more regular schedule now that I have a bit more work to show. Today we have the finished model sheets for our "Pirate Captain" character. For those of you who don't know, model sheets are used as reference so that the animators can keep the characters looking the same from shot to shot. This helps adjust for the individual style inherent in each artist. I was inspired by the story of the Somali pirates who were once fishermen until their trade was disrupted by over-fishing and pollution. I imagined that our pirates were once a group of asteroid miners who were run out of business by the nobility and had no choice but to assume a life of smuggling and piracy. I wanted to give our Captain a weathered look, like he had seen some shit, and referenced a little Bruce Willis while designing him.
Next week we'll have a look at the antagonist of our story!!
Until then, stay tuned!!
