Cenotaph Script Shelved

These are some composition explorations for my initial script idea The Cenotaph. It's base on the Cenotaph to the Memory of Reynolds painting by John Constable. I really like the script but while I was planning the schedule it turned out that I wouldn't be able to complete it on time due to the complexity of the shots so I decided to put it away and possibly go back to it at later date.

Crude Smoke Test

Here is a very quick and crude smoke test. I've never done one before and just wanted to get the feel of creating one before I attempt to create a character with it. It's not that straight forward and a lot more work is needed to make it more convincing. Please don't ask me what I was thinking when I wanted to create a character out of smoke ;)

Character Design Refined

I was advised by my mentor (Jeroen Jaspaert) to simplify the design of the character to help save time when animating so here is the result. I really liked my previous design but I totally agree with my mentor that I should try to make life easier when animating especially when you're short on time. If you have any comments or crits I would love to hear them.

Jerome Final Deisgn

Here is the final character design of Saint Jerome for the animation. It is fully rendered here but the animation will most likely be line only and if I manage my time well then I'll add the shadows. Creating a fully rendered verison would have taken too long as each frame will need to be painted. I will focus on animation as that is what the course is about and will render it after the course. Any c&c are welcome.
