Some character sketches.

I did some early research sketches but they're rather technical and not very interesting. After I did my little animation test and talked about my characters in class I realized I really needed to create a character that LOOKED somewhat female. I played around with different faces, most looked too old/sexy. I came up with this one and we'll see how it translates to 3D. Not sure if the mouth needs to stay whithin the beak. The best resource pics were young figure skaters like Oksana Bauiel in the 1994 Olympics. Tall, thin, leggy with an eager young expression. I might try to find some of her old skating sessions for movement ideas. The theatrics and gestures seem to fit.


Haven't put too much thought into Dee. I kind of like the roundness of some of the sketches but the eager expression on others.
