Stage1: Character and scene design (Sketchbook)

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.
