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.
