Jethrow and Steve-Fin - Opening Shot Progress

I've animated the opening scene of Jethrow's house, a huge banana that has washed up on the shore, with the reveal shot of Jethrow appearing at his window. The windows and door are parts of the banana that have rotted which I felt looked effective.

The next part will be Jethrow smiling, squeezing through his window with a 'pop' and flipping over to slide down his banana chute with his arms flailing.

Character and title card design

Adding more characters to the current ones I have designed: a mother, older brother and pet dog.  The older brother is aimed to be a couple of years older than the primary character and is just as naive and mischievous as he is.  The loving mother is a very clean-living woman.  Nothing in the household is seen as untidy, dirty or unorganised.  The family lives in a suburb and have a very attractive house.  Their pet dog, scruffy, is a very curious animal.  He is a fun-loving mutt who sticks his nose in everything - he also digs everything up in the back garden.

Character Colour Designs (Dad and Son)

These colour designs are for a project I will be for a 2D series I will be working on. A few colour tests before deciding on a final look for my characters. I will be creating more characters and hopefully creating a family to base my short series around.

Brown hair for the father seemed more natural and subtle compared to the black and blond hair.  the style of the father's hair could be mistaken for a helmet - with the black design.  The blond design seemed very strange and abnormal for a man this age.

The four colour designs and skin tones for the character of the boy was widely varied until I came up with a final design spec.  I chose the black hair with the green tips to make him stand out and seem very bold.  My series will focus on the boy as the primary character.
