Some Sketches

Here are some sketches that I did of Squeak, Ben, and some Tactigon 2000 t-shirt designs. I made some sketches of Ben heavily based on the Andy rig as it seems like that rig suits the character the best. I think we can add more such as the Tactigon designs on his shirt and maybe some more details (accesories? glasses? hair color? etc.) but for now I have a simple design put up.

For the Squeak sketches - I sort of took facial design aspects from Damon and a bit of his body and posture designs from Beau's. I took out the tail as I think it might be a lot easier to animate because it might get in the way. For Squeak I also like how Beau took a more stylistic/cartoony approach and I don't mind combing some designs or making it look more like Beau's. I think making Squeak look like a combination of animals - rabbit, racoon, fox sort of creature makes him look more interesting. However, I also think that some of Squeak's design will depend a lot on which rig we will use and how much we can modify him.

The Tactigon 2000 shirts are just some designs I tried out. I think an 8-bit design would be kind of cool but I also tried making a sort of insignia, sci-fi helmet design, and sci-fi sword design that could go with the Tactigon 2000 text. If anything I just took a stab at some possibilities and if anyone would like to modify/add on to these designs that would be helpful.

  1. The squeak character looks great, I really like it. I think that for the next set of sketches it would be cool if Squeak had more out-of-proportion features, such as a longer head (or just a bigger head) and larger eyes (for better facial expressions once we get to animating him).

    I like the top left (quasi-zelda) t-shirt the best, it is quickly and easily read as a game-like logo.

  2. Great sketches.

    I agree with Beau that Squeak could have a bigger head and eyes. But the body proportions are good. As is, he looks like he could be animated as a quadruped or biped, which is great.

  3. I dunno, I think Squeak still needs a tail....even if it's just a short one.
