OUAN405: Update on character design

A finalisation of the concept works for my animation. After some clarification from Matt, my fly swatting topic was given the thumbs up for the "first contact"  theme. As I found this to be way more interesting than Starwars, I decided to ran with it , with the target audience aiming at teenager and young adult, specifically anime fan, as the joke itself and many of the quirks would be very familiar to them, hence would be very effective at producing humour.

For the main girl , I decided to go with a more different body type as opposed to the more typical body type you see in anime that was going to be my choice. A major influence for this was "Powerpuff girls" and "Panty and Stocking", where the limbs of the character are simplified down to rounded shapes, making it much much easier to visualize and animate ( you're basically animating a blog. The other noticeable trait is the large head and small body relative to the limbs. They boy would follow this style closely ,but would have more realistic proportion and body as to contrast the sister.

As for the expression , I played around alot with angry emotions for the girl , as she would be irritated by the fly most of the time in the animation. the large eyes is classically anime and really helps at portraying emotion. I also did some sketches of the room which is the environment the character going to be in , as it would help identifying the position of each object if a background composition is needed, it would also help with camera positioning.
