There is an old chinese legend about a young couple who were lovers. One day the young girl was attacked by a man eating tiger! No matter what her lover tried to do for her he could not save her and she died. From the depths of his sorrow and pain he was determined to seek revenge on this tiger, so he took his bow an arrow and went into the jungle, day after day in search of this tiger. He searched daily until finally he saw what he believed to be a sleeping tiger in the distance - - he was convinced this was the tiger he had been searching for. He drew his bow and arrow, took careful aim and released the arrow...it pierces the tiger's body very deeply -- but not all is what it seems... ...Join LING on a tragic journey of LOVE, LOSS and REVENGE.

CHARACTER DESIGN - stage 2

So here is a few more character designs... getting close to the final
realization i hope...just colour, movement and expression studies
to go. Tried to keep it as simple as possible; minimal detail to help
keep those tweens on model. Anyway heres a few sketches
ive knocked out today...



Introducing my main man...LING!



Inspirations for LING's design include fireman sam
and samurai jack...



It is uncanny how much JIA looks like my girlfriend.
i didnt mean to do it but aaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.
Here she is...


LING's beloved JIA should be recognized instantly as kind,
gentle and demure. I tried to keep her as cute as possible. By
giving her; those classic 'MATT SEWELL' eyes the cute look
becomes inevitable...

...heres a few examples from the ol chap


What a legend...

...Once again with JIA's charcter:
i tried to keep the construction down
to a real minimum.


A little more work needed here i think. Im sure i'll
completely nail her model once i get started
on the movement/expression studies.

...

Oh i almost forgot; best get working on a tiger...surely wont be easy
but im up
for it... Actually heres one i made earlier (one
of my storyboards from my 1st animatic)
very dirty, bezzzzzzst getting sketching.
