More Hayley designs.



The Trick to designing Hayley is trying to go against the norms that's have been set when designing characters in animation. Lets look at an example of a female Disney Character



In Aurora's design, you can see her feminine qualities amplified, such as her waist or her face shape. My main character, Hayley, wasn't born with these features.

Changes to my project due to The Coronavirus Outbreak

Unfortunately my project has stalled for a few weeks while I figure out how to proceed with my project. My original project was going to compose of 5 finished scenes that would've come together to compose a trailer. However with what I've got to work with at home, this simply isn't possible. At uni I'm using a full cintiq setup, however at home I'm using a Microsoft Surface Go which simply isn't strong enough to run animation software such as Toonboom or Maya. It's battery is only good for about 2 hours and overheats if the charger is left in for too long or I'm running extraneous software such as Premiere or After Effects.

The idea of sitting on a rooftop is inspired by more eastern anime imagery for example in Kingdom Hearts. Verdict I definitely think this scene suits a motion comic well, there is a lot I can do with the art style and with more simple After Effects movement that I can run on my tablet without overrunning it.
