Part1 FMP Sketchbook
Considering that I have decided the topic of my FMP and thesis project, so in order to show my personal project more completely, and quickly integrate this project into my internship project. I decided to shelve the animation part of my narrative animation and complete a general FMP setting first.
I was inspired by these ironic cartoons.
On the whole, I’ve come up with some shots.
So I hope to draw some atmosphere maps, simple scenes and sketches of characters.

Compared with ordinary animation, the characteristics of irony animation are as follows:
- Exaggeration of characters and scenes
- The contrast of the picture
- Create atmosphere through light, shadow or material
- The contrast of music
- Uncomplicated and repetitive movements
I found some references for obese characters and claustrophobic rooms
Characters
Scenes
Because this character will become a pile of rotten meat from a normal person, so I hope the image after eating fat will be particularly exaggerated. Then it can be felt that he’s trapped in these takeout boxes, like being trapped and imprisoned.
I know that in the process of creating a model, I will face a huge challenge, that is, the two characters must be able to see that they are caused by one person’s constant eating, which means that it seems that the two characters are the same person. In the process of modeling, the fusion and deformation of characters may be a very difficult technical point.
Sketches
Part2 Conclusion
In fact, compared with the previous internship projects in the role of hand-painted scenes, I can clearly feel the improvement of my painting ability, can be said to be more natural and easy to draw some pictures. I feel that sometimes it’s not to complete a painting completely or neatly, but to bring an emotion or feeling to the painting, that’s enough. Compared with the neat picture, I think it’s a bit messy, but exaggerated painting is more suitable for the expression of animation form. This may be the difference between ironic animation and ordinary animation, which can be very exaggerated or slovenly. As long as it can convey a certain sense of atmosphere, it’s very good.
What I am more satisfied with is that I have also learned to express the atmosphere with light and shadow, and I find that it is really very important to create an atmosphere. Moreover, compared with before, I slowly began to choose some other angles, such as elevation and depression, instead of blindly looking at the picture head up. This method will add a lot of details to the picture, make the composition look more meaningful and more conducive to the expression of the content.
