ANIM2001: CGI-1

I used the silhouette method to come up with some weird designs used large round shapes,  i then went over the black silhouettes with blue pencil and drew some basic details, i have then identified the 4 designs i like the most and plan to expand on these four designs and combine aspects between the designs as well as adding accessories to them, makes the designs more interesting

For this Project i was really inspired by Characters from animation and games that were large yet very cute characters, Totoro is an ideal example of this type of character. to begin ive collected a large board of images of characters that i feel have this aesthetic. While the project spec syas our final designs must be bipedal, i also collected some images of characters and animals that do no have this quality, as they still possess the aesthetic i am looking for. I feel that Wally is a great example of a character that while doesnt seem cute, has a quirky quality to it that gives him that cute aesthetic
