Frame Painting

Still working on color studies. This one features just the hero character. I'm liking the vibrant colors, not sure if it fits the film yet.

Style Painting

This image shows a little more progress towards the style I'm going for. It's maybe 80% complete, but I like the energy of it and it finally feels like winter.

Now We're Getting Somewhere!

I feel like I finally found a home in this color palette! An appropriate mix of vibrant and cool. Not perfect yet but getting there.

Poses and Expressions for the Hero Shot

I've worked out some poses and expressions for the hero shot where the boy and dog are playing. I got to use some old reference of Mysti and I playing before she had passed this Summer so I'm happy about that. I'm also pretty happy about the new addition of the scarf, he was just too cold for winter before, now he looks wintery even without the snow!

Always Making Thumbnails!

Every day I'm thumbnailing!

Object Studies

I spent some time more clearly defining some of the objects from the story. The gun feels like a good balance of detail vs. simplicity as well as structure now. I also did some studies of things that will be farther away from the camera but still important.
