10th December to 14th December

Aims
Re-draw the character model sheets so that they can be accurately modelled from the pictures by Adam and Kyle. I also want to have drawn out an overview of the beach so that we know exactly what’s going where and exactly how much needs to be modelled. It will also help Andrew and I to see the same end product as we can make changes if need be rather than modelling it all then deciding it needs to be changed slightly. I want to email the pictures out to Andrew by the end of this week too so that I can get feedback from him as soon as possible. I hope that these will also be able to give him a rough basis for environment foundations.

Reached goals?
This week has gone quite well. I managed to re draw the character sheets and they’re all ready to go to the respective modellers. I found it quite difficult to get George to look exactly how I wanted him to look on the perspective view because his nose just didn’t look right each time I drew him. However, after persevering for a while I’ve finally got a picture that I’m happy with. George is now ready to be sent off to Adam as I feel he now has an accurate portrayal of how I’d like the finished version to be.
Everyone’s opinion that he should be a short man was also very helpful as I was torn between the two designs. I think he looks quite mouse like and has similarities with the little girl as they are both short and have similar proportions. They look better now standing next to each other.
I’ve drawn some rough pictures of how I envisioned the beach to look and I’ve tried to make it an enclosed area so that it doesn’t look bare and Andrew doesn’t have to model a ridiculous amount of props that will barely be seen.
I’ve re-drawn Lani also but she hasn’t really changed. I adapted her eyes to look more like George’s and less like a typical manga face. I’ve put her eyelashes only on her bottom lids as I think this makes her look more unique as I haven’t seen many other characters with eyelashes on the bottom. Maybe it can be something unique just for her ^-^
Despite all my concept sketches for her I’ve decided to stick with the overall look but have changed her outfit slightly so that it looks a little more beachy. Lani now wears a sarong type top that ties up at the back the bow quite large to give the appearance that she has wings. I thought this was cute as she is like an angel (sort of) (let me run with it, I like the happy world I live in, it’s nice here) for George as she becomes his friend at the end.
