I thought it was about time to update everyone on the progress of our debut animation Billy and the Sock Puppet. I've been hard at work designing and refining the characters and environments, as well as trying to simplify the storyline (to make the middle a little less convoluted).
I've decided to alter the appearance of the main character (Billy) - I've kept the same basic design, merely simplifying the original concept. I felt that the initial design was a bit static and didn't have the potential to move as organically as I would like (within the animation and when he's interacting with the environment). As for the Sock Puppet, I am still very happy with the initial design for this character so I haven't done much in terms of changing its appearance.
In terms of the environment, I've been busy designing a number of alternate environments and am yet to choose which will be used in the animation. There are a number of factors for me to consider when deciding between my final designs (including aesthetic value, practicality, and relevance -in terms of how appropriate it is in relation to the animation itself).
Well, now that I've updated everyone, I should probably get back to it!
