Some of the criticism about Mary is she didn't look old enough and she looked as if she was having a Vietnam flashback. I had another go at drawing her using things I see in old people, such as the glasses on the chain and the lines around the mouth and eyes. I'll be starting on Simon soon as he looked like he was high on sugar and also he looks a bit odd to me and I can't explain why (I think it may be something to do with the clay model I'm using as reference)
I have also made some changes with the animatic, cutting out most of the walking where I can after being reminded that I would need to animate all that walking. I also changed a couple more things to be more snappy. I looked at the scene from Hot Fuzz where Nicolas Angel tools up in the evidence locker and tried to mimic how he takes things.
HERO: Po SHADOW: HERALD: Master Oogway THRESHOLD GUARDIAN: Master Shifu TRICKSTER: The Furious Five (Initially), Mr Ping (wanted Po to quit to focus on noodles, discouraged kung fu training) MENTOR: Master Shifu ALLIES: The Furious Five MOTHER: No one fills this role, although Po's Father could also be fulfilling both roles as a single parent FATHER: Mr Ping (Po's Father) CHILD: No one fills this role, perhaps Po is as he seems rather childish initially, playing with toys ect.. MAIDEN: No one to fill this role. I don't think Tigeress is the Maiden as she doesn't need rescuing and she doesn't really fall for the hero SHAPESHIFTER: Master Shifu
While I was half way through drawing out the environment for my scene, a medieval lab, I was able to have a chat with Justin. He saw the giant machine that dominates the scene and said that I should design it as if it was it's own character, using the same ideas I designed my character with. He also said it would look great if it was bent over slightly, as if it was top heavy or as if it was designed by an absent minded individual. I am very happy with the way this came out, although I think I overdid it with the riveted metal. The main idea behind this machine is that its an all in one smelter. Ore goes in at the top and it spits out metal bars in the quenching tank at the bottom. I thought I'd add a bit of magic into my story, in the centre of the machine is an ever burning fuel source. I figure if in the world it is possible to make gold, why not more things? I think it makes sense for an absent minded character would have something like this, how many times woul...
