Had a feedback session with the tutors today, and progress seems to be going quite well. I cannot contribute anything to the animatic at this point, so I'm just going to be working on more background plates and refining my creature over the next few days.
In feedback, i was told that my creature was too bulky and did not quite suit the elongated form. My team has asked me to slim it down and change its limbs a little in order to fit Oscar's ideal a bit better.
Tea has created some really amazing character concepts based on my design though, and has given me permission to use them for the central character:
It works really well as it contains all the modifications that i already wanted for my own character With this design in mind, it would be really easy to draw smooth, undulating shapes for the mane and tail, and the small creatures are very similar in design and shape too. Jo has adjusted her creature to match it, and I feel like all i could really do to improve it is to modify the dark-world version a bit - maybe add more bones down the neck and make the legs more skeletal?
I received some advice for Matte painting as well - to keep my edges harder and to play around with brushes. Once i figure out some layouts, I might try this out over the weekend.
