Character and Layout Concepts

Alright! Now that we've changed to a new direction for the final time, it's time for the updated character/layout list!

Character Designers (Chris Morin, Naseer Pasha, Kevin Cato, Dale Watson, Ramone Johnson, Tenzin Chime)

1. Jewels - The artist. I've heard that there's already a design in the works but if you guys have an idea, by all means!
   
2. Ziq - Same as Jewels
   
3. Luna - The lovely lady. Basically go all out with your dream girls, guys! Also! Don't worry about sketching her with her missing parts. Just design her completed and we can subtract the (un)needed parts.
   
4. "Kodama" (Example gifs of Miyazaki's Kodama in the link) - The little gremlins. I see them as equally simple to the Miyazaki ones but we can play with that annoying edge ours have.
5. Guardian Deities -Two large, robotic in movement, centurions. Big guys with big swords!
   
6. Random characters - The best thing about this script is that we can be absolutely random. Have at it guys!

Background Artists (Vanessa Vidakovic, Joseph Ng, Tenzin Chime, Guiseppe Arabia, Mark Conmigo)

1. Apartment - Personally, I see Jewels living in a tiny studio apartment that can barely fit his drafting table. For some of you, think about your dorm rooms. Also, a specific list of what it needs: drafting desk, television, second table of sorts, small one person couch, a washroom door and at least one window.
2. Hallway - Uh. A hallway. Need I say more?
   

If any of you guys are having a problem getting the creative juices flowing and need some references to jump start with, give me a holler via Facebook, blog comments or email!

Good luck and have fun! Play a little~

Calling for sketches/designs

Alright. Now that we've got a rough script in the works, I'd like the layout and character designers to start brainstorming ideas and create some sketches. As we don't have a specific style decided, these are simply inspirational.

Character Designers (Chris Morin, Naseer Pasha, Kevin Cato, Dale Watson, Ramone Johnson, Tenzin Chime)

1. Jewels
   
2. Ziq
3. Girlfriend
4. Bogdan
5. Newscasters
6. Dictator
7. Jewels' family

If people need references to bounce ideas (uniforms, government portraits, dollar bills), make a comment here and I'll reply with some links.

Background Artists (Vanessa Vidakovic, Joseph Ng, Tenzin Chime, Guiseppe Arabia, Mark Conmigo)

1. Jewels' Apartment
2. Alleyway
3. Parliament
   
4. Graveyard with trees nearby

With Jewel's apartment, there are specific things that need to be included (telephone, TV, hallway, bathroom). Again, if anyone needs references to bounce ideas off of, make a comment here and I'll see what I can do.

Also, I'd like us to think of ideas for the graffiti that Jewels is going to spray in parliament.
Personally, I think it'd be a cool idea to do something like Banksy.

A big up to Chris for suggesting his blog.
He would like to draw focus to his character designs and use of colours.





Very simplistic and effective!
