Character Drawings and Criting for final Design

So it's tuesday and we meet again, hurray! But we are very at how fast time has flown and neither of us have done as much as we would have liked to. So I managed to get my eight drawings of sven done, and I've sourced materials but I haven't had chance to do the material tests. I can do the black wall tests and the locker room ones today though so that's exciting. Over the weekend I went to a garden centre in Otley with the best craft section so I was also able to get anna some change and some exciting materials to experiment with the material tests, so I'll discuss those once they've been done. I've also managed to source some wood from a family friend, but this means a change in height of the slaughterhouse because the wood we can get is only 60cm high. Also I've spoken to my flat mate because her closest friend at uni works at a tiling factory and she's working on saturday so hopefully we can get some tiles off her.

Anna's reaction to sven:

- needs to look older 

- less hair on his head prefers scraggily receding hair

- like the checkered pants

- quite round body shape, should be more angular to look harder and meaner

-tattoo's are good

I found this exercise really hard because I found it really difficult to get to like the character but I think this is good it means I can now do a final life size drawing of front and back and then when we both have these we can take them down to ceramics and cast him out of clay so we can make a mould of him, and a naked mould for the armature. Anna's unfortunately not had chance to draw her eight but she's put detail into the set drawings:

There's a third one that she's still sat next to me working on. I think my only issue with these two is that the cows gets stunned and hung up, but there's no stun gun or smooth transition so I think it's going to need a few more details adding on and a bit changing, but I spoke to her about it and she's really conscientious about the space we have to animate in and doesn't want to make it too ambitious. Which is where I think I'm opposite I can get really carried away. So I'm now going to take these drawings back and try get them done for monday when we meet again so that they are all painted with details for the pitch.
