ABOUT
Under the working title, ‘We Come In Pieces’, in the genre of an animated Space Discovery Series, was asked of us to create 6 main characters with the following names:
– Commander of the spaceship ‘Pieces’ (Frances Nichols)
– Second in rank (Youri Popov)
– Communications Officer (Otchamuot K-Rashk)
– Pilot (Bob Nemoy)
– Medical Officer (Ichika Tanaka)
– Space scientist (Francois Duroc)
And give them: – a character trait: basic emotion or attitude that you need to clarify via a line of
action and facial expression. – a basic shape: a clear shape around which your character is constructed to
enhance silhouette value. -an object: a utensil that your character uses to perform an action or story images; based on a given list.
GOAL
The goal was to make a uniquely designed group of illustrated characters that could be part of an animated Space Discovery Series. We also had to make 3 different locations.
– The interior of the spaceship Pieces (command bridge)
– Planet Fradorium
– Planet 1-2-XU
And we had to make 1 merged image with the background and the characters in it, plus a title card.
RESULT
I generated random traits, shapes, and objects because I wanted every Character to be unique and not what you would normally pair. I also used a pallet of a few colors for the design of the characters to make them fit together even though they are all very different.
I really had a lot of fun designing these characters.
This is the merged image of the world and a few Characters.
This is one of the characters I made that I had the most fun with. I love the design because you can see at a glance what her personality is.
