In continuation with my character design project, I have created an additional piece of concept art for my character Linette, this time in her ghost form. She is shown with my sidekick character, a cat named Coco, who was the former pet of René, her love interest. This cat acts as company for Linette as she explores the spirit world in search for her love. The text is a French translation for the word “beyond” because her love knows no bounds, even beyond life itself. I have also included turnarounds for both her living and spirit form. Her spirit form does not show feet, but instead a cloud of smoke to make it more ghostly, however I’ve given her prominent shapes to keep in with the Art Nouveau theme.

For my Character project, I have created this concept art to portray the love that happens between my two characters, Linette and René. The story is based in the 1920’s in Paris, France, so I wanted to use a warm-toned colour palette to represent their feelings towards each other, as well as creating a sepia effect that you would have seen in photographs of that era. This also ties in nicely with the art style that I needed to recreate this in, Art Nouveau.

For our Collaboration project, we decided to make our animation appear as if it was on a budget, so we decided to make the film props mainly out of cardboard to add to the comedic affect.  

For our collaboration project, my group was tasked with creating a short animation based on the concept of "Deleted Scenes/Outtakes". We decided to take the movie, "Captain America: Civil War" and create some comedic skits based on things going wrong behind the scenes.  As the characters and scenes already have set designs, I needed to then figure out how I could incorporate Moom's cartoon-y character in to the costumes. I decide to take reference from the original comic books, as well as looking at the costumes from the movie and simplifying them down to their basic lines, shapes, and colours. Below are the examples that I've created for the characters that we plan on using in our group animation.
