some more

Some story panels

After two and a half years of slacking off, finally started storyboarding this thing.

Probably will end up redoing them all over again, but here are some excerpts from the first sequence .

 

More character doodles

Haven't given up yet!

Giving it another shot. Hopefully it'll go better this time..

First attempt. Too much hair. Face too much monkey like.

Second try. I actually like the proportion of the face.

Today's tries. realized I wanted to make his pose more gorilla like.

(Upright back with hips pulled further back.)

Another try at the son. Getting some ideas.

Will try tomorrow.

Result of gorilla-fying the dad more. Still not simple enough.

8/4

todays doodle...he looks dirty......

Back to the grind..

Its been over six months ..it's been exciting getting into all the festivals with FNT ..but its really about time I put something new and fresh out there!!  Here's the latest attempt at the so's design..nothing really new.. but I like this one.I' just settle on this for a while. Time to storyboard !!

How long has it been?

Well..I've been caught up with a lot of stuff..

I think the drawings below has been done in about 6hours altogether..over two weeks..

I really wasn't making any progress with the son character..

I realized I could't reproduce the one drawing that I liked, especially when I tried to make different expressions with it.

 I couldn't really control the proportions of the facial features effectively and I needed to simplify the character a bit more to give it a little bit more likable look

 I'got rid of the cheek bone and made it into a more smooth curve from the forehead down to the neck.
Well, honestly, I don't think he looks like a caveman anymore..

But He just looks cuter in this version. the last drawing is a little earlier try and his face have different aesthetics to it but I liked the overall feeling..
What I have right now makes him look a little too young......he's supposed to be a man... not a boy....
Still a long way to go..
