So I study animation at art school.
In September we start a group project making a 1 minute short film for the end of the year.
Luckily me and a few folk have teamed up already, because we've got a very very very ambitious project so we're starting 4 months ahead of everybody else.
The jist of the idea is, it's about a gang of pirates that basically hunt down any children who don't eat their vegetables. I knocked out the first concept sketch today, be prepared for some mroe work as it develops.
Pretty happy with this, only thing I'd change is I'd work into the kid a bit more. Seems boring considering he's the focal point.
I also included an untinkered version so you can see the detail on the boot etc.
It's good to be back in CC... it's been too long.

Reaaaallly nice. Can't wait to see it animated too =D
In comparison to the rest of the image (especially the pirate's legs) there's hardly any detail on the child. Although I can't really think what you could do to add detail.

And the vegetables are just coloured splodges, add more detail to the plate/food
Can't wait to see the final product although that's a long way off
Good luck :) I'll make sure to check back here, this seems interesting.
Cheers mate, it should look pretty spectacular. We're hoping to get all the pre-production done before we start back so we're ready to animate as the other teams are still doing scripts, concept art, character designs, environments, story boards, animatics etc etc.
The environments and backgrounds will be modelled entirely in 3D with traditional hand drawn 2D character animation composited into it.
This Pyrats animation is one of our main influences. Ours wont be anywhere near as polished though, we only finished first year last week!

You're absolutely right man. I might go back and finish it off but as it's the first concept sketch I didnt want to spend to much time on it, I guess another 20 minutes would make it so much better though... might be worth just doing it.
Thanks!
I really like the detail in the image, especially on the pirate.
Its just something about that kid bugs me.
I look forwards to seeing the finished animation.
You're so right, to be honest character design really isn't my thing. I don't know how to make the kid seem interesting. I might try and jazz it up a bit tonight.
