Major Project. Extra character sketches.

Having completed the majority of the pre-production for my final film, I can soon start production on my animation.

However, since then, I decided to make some last minute changes to the story. So, I decided to give myself some extra time to refine some concepts and designs for my characters.

Here are a few designs for the characters in my character's team. As they are only appearing in one vision, I see no point in developing them two much, so only a few costume designs are necessary.

I felt it would be worth dong some quick redesigns for the main hero character as well. While I kept the colour palette the same, I experimented with different patterns and designs.

The most significant change I made was to add a giant robot to the narrative. I have done this because I felt that the film would have a more comic-book feel, which might be more fun. To that end, I created several robot designs. I had to keep in mind that I would have to create this robot myself, which would indeed take time. My ideas ranged from  humanoids to a more insect-like design, which I am quite fond of.

Finally, I worked on some more designs for Crimson Claymore. I've tried to create a balance between the red and black, with a little bit of grey added. The more armoured look may go against that.
