Character design

Here is a design of an old grumpy woman for my pre-production. i looked at different characters of old people, for example the old woman in Monster Inc called ROZ, and the not so grumpy but old woman Muriel off courage the cowardly dog.



A quick couple of sketches of William the postman. 


Pirate ship design

out of my different ideas i decided to go for this one below. I wanted to keep the design simple as in the story there's only going to be the pirate with no crew.

 I then went onto putting it into photoshop and started colouring it up!

colour development

 i didn't like the fineshed colour for the ship so i experimented with different colours. We all decided that the first one would be the chosen pirate ship.

Pictures down St.ives (yes no)

As Laura is set to design the backgrounds of St.ives, I journeyed down there to take some snaps for her and also recorded some sounds of seagulls and the waves hitting the beach.

I went down into falmouth and snapped a few shots of around falmouth docks. this would give me a visual of giving me ideas for my drawing of a pirate ship i'm going to design.

I decided to go for idea 5 as i wanted to keep it small and simple as the pirate is on his own with no crew.
