yes no inspiration

We found it hard to get a right sort of style at first but i thought of looking at actually cartoons with pirates in. I researched and found a cartoon i watched when i was young called captain pugwash

I didnt actually look at the style of how this cartoon was made but mostly its block colours and how simple they are.

When coming to get the style i looked at an illustrator i quite like called Dave Kinsey.

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

coloured

 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.

turn around of idea 5

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.
