Dynamic poses and facial expressions

Twice weekly report

Over these past two weeks I have been researching and experimenting on styles that would best suit my secondary villainous character known as grill the gorilla. I have looked in to the appearances of animated apes and cyborgs finding necessary requirements to form my character.

To help produce the storyboard I have looked into the buildings of Newcastle that have a glass domed roof that will be featured for Grills supposed escape. Out of all my options I have chosen the Jamie Oliver Italian restaurant located near Grey’s Monument since its exterior includes a domed roof.

I have also chosen the style that was used to produce the Disney character Kerchak from the 1999 film Tarzan along with editing him in Photoshop since I am more familiar with tools it offers.

SWOT analysis

• Forming a character more accurately in illustrator with curves and shapes.
• Producing dynamic poses for a change instead of just points of view.
• Experimenting with different colour tones.
• Could improve his appearance to make my work look more professional.
