Final Character Colour Concepts

Here are the final colour concepts for the characters

Larry and Joe Maquette Busts

I sculpted these busts from Super Sculpey form the final designs of Larry and Joe, to see how the designs would translate into 3 dimensions before I model them in Maya.

Character Colour Concepts 1st Draft

Here are some concepts I did for the possible colour for Larry and Joe

Final Joe Character Design

So here's the final design for Joe

Final Larry Character Design

So here's the final design for Larry.

As I was playing around with different designs and doing various drafts of the storyboard he gradually became more and more this design. 

I feel like this design fits his personality and the style I was aiming for.

Joe Pidgeon Character Designs

Here are some designs I did for joe

Larry Design: Test Sculptures

While I was designing Larry on paper I was trying out different designs with plasticine to find out what he would look like in 3 dimensions.
With these three above I was seeing what it would be like to have the character pretty much flat/one sided. I think it would look really interesting to animate in 3d.
But since I haven't done any facial rigging rigged before I wasn't sure exactly sure how I'd pull it off, so I moved on to a full 3 dimensional design, though this style is definitely something I will look into for future projects.

Larry Boyd Character Designs

These are some of the early character designs for Larry Boyd, where I was trying to find the right look to match his personality.
This design above was the original character that the story for the film was based on.
His name was Chuck Wood and his design was much more Loony Tunes inspired than the designs that follow.

I kept trying to simplify the design to find the style, and since Larry is the main character his design would dictate the style of the other characters and the world they occupy.
