Character Development- Flora Sandes

Once we desided on this style of charcter i started developing how the uniforms would look. 

I then went on to experiment with different colours using water colour but felt water colour didnt do justice to the charcter. 

We desided as a group that the charcters uniform should be created from  photographs of the actual serbian uniform from ww1. 

I experimented with diferent cutouts from black and white photographs to save money on the printouts. 

Once i had desided on what photos to use for each part i created the charcter in colour. 

The main dificulty with creating the charcter this way was finding the weite photographs to use as theirs isnt many coloured photos of the serbian uniform from ww1 online but i overcame this problem by using different parts of the uniform to create some of the shapes

Character Ideas- Flora Sandes

I first started by making a more realistic charcter.

Then tryed to simplify the charcter o make it easyer to reproduce.

After desiding we would use a cutout style of animation i looked at southpark charcters and experimented with different ideas from that.

While meeting with the other charcter designer for this brief (Toria) she had a great design for the charcters which would be easy to make and animate with, the charcter design she had been working on are similar to the image below.
