Summer time, character concept

As promised, here are some concept art for the design of my character Thirsty, a cartoony looking vampire. I have modeled and alpha version of him in wax already but I will probably change the proportions and use a different material. I started using a dark red wax but it is too dark and most of the detail won’t show up properly. I did try some Super Sculpey I had laying around but it was too dry and brittle. I also tried some Chavant clay but it was too sticky for my liking. I will go to Tiranti tomorrow and see what they have on offer….. not that I trust them much anymore but well let’s see.

Here are my concept art, 2 hours of brainstorming with my TabletPC and Sketchbook pro.

And here is the unfinished alpha version of the sculpt.

Hold you breath!

sorry for the lack of post but don’t worry, everything is fine. I am still in the writing process of my script and I have decided not to leak anything before I am happy about the story, and the animatic is well underway.

Maybe I am being paranoid but I wouldn’t want to see a similar short coming out few month before my graduation. I have huge plans for it so the only thing I am gonna say is that it is gonna be really cartoony and tell the misfortune of a funny looking vampire.

I might upload some concept art next week. Yes I am gonna model and rig my own character with the help of Alfonso.

In the meantime here are some great shorts whose directors I was lucky enough to meet at the Auch festival or in London/
