Model Sheets

Model sheets for the Generic Human characters, the female, and the Eagle.

These are different colour schemes for the Eagle, a recent poll suggests the middle option is the best choice.  Nice dark tones, a few highlights.  CHOICE.

Colour Strips

Colours for different areas, characters, buildings, settings, etc.

Props and House

Another potential prop, I figure in his journeyings he wouldve encountered a wizard or two, which opens up a few more prop ideas. Not sure about the skull though, itd take up half his house. Speaking of which, this is kind of how I imagined his house to look, from what max was describing and my own imagination.


Also a floor plan, and a few shots from inside. Note the painting of father knightmouse, and the weapons scattered around the house. Dual level, so he has to climb up a ladder to get to his bed.

Props

Aaaand some props for knightmouses house.

Character Concepts 2

Trying out different body shapes.
And did up a rough 3D model.

Test Animations and Character Concepts

K, while I was trying to figure out a good aesthetic for the film, I was looking out our design for the king. He has large ears, beady eyes, and plenty of facial hair. So following that train of thought, I figured we could just make all the characters resemble mice, to an extent. That would then solve our problem of a unique design. Anyway, 5 designs here.
Also, a few animation tests in flash.

Dragon Concept

Firstly, a display of Knightmouses awesomeness:


And now, an update of where we stand. As of week 4, first storyboard complete, first animatic complete with a few scenes already edited and tightened, schedule and budget done, character concepts for knightmouse, the dragon, and ratcatchers complete, environment concepts for the buildings, and general time wasting complete. A successful month.
