Ideas changed

I have changed my list of ideas as I kind of fell out with my Bikers idea. My favourites at the moment are Ideas 2 and 4, mainly because of them being my ideas. Idea 3 feels like its missing something and needs work. Idea 1 is at the bottom at the moment because its already been done but I'm keeping it in my options as I love the stories and like the idea of making one in my own style.

IDEA 1
A Just So Stories remake.

IDEA 2
A hungry cat short like my idea in first year about 'The Fish Shop Cat'

IDEA 3
Get rid of it! The one about Matt putting a spider out and then him having a nasty surprise and wanting something put out himself.

IDEA 4
Pretty morphing Animation.

It's hot in Topeka

I first saw this clip from 'Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends' at Siggraph 08. It really made me and the rest of the lecture hall laugh and I love the character as he's so lively, jumpy and odd. I love the style of animation too as it really works well with the style of story. I would consider doing this style if I did my 'Get Rid of it' idea.

Room design

Just a quick design for a possible bedroom background. The angle of the bed is wrong so next time I will do a light outline of the room.

Life Drawings

Here are some Life Drawings of my Bengal kitten, Remus to help me with designing my cat character. I love how Bengals have a wild look about them because they have Asian Leopard Cats in their ancestry. Remus is about 5 generations from one. Because of this I am considering having the cat in my short be a Bengal.



Here are some photos of Remus to compare my drawings to :)

Get rid of it storyboard

This is a quick thumbnail storyboard I did for my idea called 'Get rid of it'. Sorry if my writings hard to read. Its only the first part of it but its just to help me decide on which of my ideas to do.

Some sketches that I promised

This is a drawing I did for the morphing idea. Its the first part where the girl is sitting thinking and about to turn her head to look out the window.

I made her look young and in an uncomfortable position to show how uncomfortable she is with herself and to try and emphasise how she wants to be free. I don't know if I explained that right but it makes sense to me :p

I am not happy with how I drew her fingers or her feet and I think the angles are off so I will have to work on that.

These cats were for any of my ideas involving a cat really. The top cat was based on this fluffy black and white cat that keeps trying to sneak in my house. I sat in the garden drawing it as she went around me and kept trying to nuzzle into me. I had another go making her look thinner below it but I'm just not feeling it. Like somethings wrong with it but I don't know what. Maybe the eyes.

The spotted cat is a bengal based on my kitten, Remus. Its my favourite of all the drawings. I did it as Remus looks all proud like this when he takes his toys off the sofa.

The bottom cat is based on the normal domestic cats that roam around my garden. I also really like these drawings as they are simple but look right. I am also a fan of just dot for eyes so thats another reason why I like them more.

The Missing Lynx

I came across this article on Kandor Moon's 'The Missing Lynx'. The link to the article is below. I thought it might help me with my project.
