As i went on about painter while posting my work from china, thought I would practice. love the square chalk.

More concept work

These are some more environment concepts for the first act. All done on painter, once again great program. The first 3 are concepts for the environment and moments in the film and the 4th image is an action concept for the main character.

Story Concepts

Later on in the production I got the chance to create some story concept images, which was really fun. Was trying out Painter as i haven't had a lot of experience in it. It really is a brilliant piece of software, If you get the chance to have a go on it definately take advantage of it.

Anyways this is a process of a concept i did for the first act in the film.

some more character designs

These are some more character designs. I was a storyboard artist on the film, so didnt have much time to design characters. What I did manage to do was fun. These are some different ideas I had for a tramp in the film.

Character Design in China

While i was storyboarding at Glory and Dream Studio, I also manageed to try some cahracter design. I tended to put down some basic designs for some of the characters that were in the boards but at the time were undeveloped. These designs were not used for the final designs of the characters, but i like to think that at least they opened up some ideas for the characters.
