Minor Project: Bo Orthographic


Minor Project: Benny Orthographic


Minor Project: Final character designs


Minor Project: Accessory development


I wanted to give my characters a Rodney and Del-boy Only fools and Horses look so I looked at objects (Litter) I could use to look like items of clothing they would wear. Then I finally came up with the idea of one of the pigeons having the remains of a balloon/condom around their neck to represent a turtle neck which although hard to imagine how the pigeon got into it, brings humour with the simple thought of him doing so.

Minor Project: Logo research


 I've been looking at the many different chicken shop logos for inspiration on my theme, opening scene and title for my animation. I've realised that the red, blue and white theme is is prominent in all these logos and even on the inside of alot of the actual shops. I'll definitely keep this in mind when making mine but I have to do something different to make it stand out a bit more.



Minor Project: Script (Rough)

Minor Project: Sound

Although I'm more than likely going to use voice actors for my animation, for the sake of fridays pitch I will be acting both roles myself and editing them on a software I use to make music called FL Studio. I'll be using it to edit my voice in a way that should differentiate the two characters voices.

Minor Project: Litter Experimentations




I've been experimenting with litter to make accessories for my characters. So far I've experimented with a mini ball chain for a necklace, a scrap of a plastic bag for an arm band, a coke bottle cap for an eye patch and a Mcdonalds ketchup pot as a bucket hat.

Minor Project: Beaks

I've been looking at 3d and cartoon bird beaks to get a good idea of how my characters beaks will move when they talk and to understand how I will get them to open and close in maya.

Minor Project: Character Development

Decided to sketch the characters from a 3/4 angle to get a better idea of what they would look like in 3d (and because Phil suggested it)
