IT’S SLOWLY COMING TOGETHER
Originally posted on the MA Character animation course blog, published March 6th 2016.

MORE CHARACTER DESIGN
Originally posted on the MA Character animation course blog, published February 9th 2016.

Originally posted on the MA Character animation course blog, published October 27th 2015. Since we started working together last week the story of Jenufa was the main concern for both Maja, Andreia and myself. We’ve all struggled with it through summer and we all knew that a recap of the opera was the only thing … Continue reading JENUFA – THE ANIMATIC AND THE CHARACTERS
ST THOMAS HOSPITAL – CHARACTER DESIGNS
Originally posted on the MA Character animation course blog, published May 25th 2015. Since this project has such a short time limit I’m trying to make life easy for myself by making simpler character designs than I normally do. I never been particularly good in drawing character designs especially not human characters, I prefer drawing animals … Continue reading ST THOMAS HOSPITAL – CHARACTER DESIGNS
Final character designs and mood change
Originally posted on the MA Character animation course blog, published March 4th 2015. First of all, sorry for the lack of updates, but all of the sudden the Unit 1 Assignment was closing up and among everything else I forgot the blog.
