Jacky Character Design
Character design work for an in-progress project! This design is for a 3D short film about a young farmhand who wants to win a cattle roping contest.
texture painting to show what the final 3D render should feel and look like. For Jacky I wanted the style to stay flatter and more cartoony, with nice smooth textures
first started with some rough silhouette thumbnails
after finding the one I liked, I refined the character and did some action and emotion thumbs
Some props and environment props for the charater
Value studies
colour studies
Turnaround for the character's 3D model
colour iteration for environment. Decided to go with desaturated bg, saturated foreground/character
