Finally got around to doing some concept sketches. I'm trying to get an idea of what my 3D character should look like. I decided to create an original character from scratch instead of trying to modify an existing rig. If I were to stick with the interviews I have so far, my character is an old woman and I want her to look something like this. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner here so I can't scan my recent character sketches.
I also got the inspiration from a recent lecture at my internship to use watercolor textures on the 3D environments, to make the transitions into the 2D animations smoother. The difference in environments can be portrayed by warm and cool colors. ^This is her seated in her home in America, reminiscing about Kolkata.
