Assignment 1-Vertical slice – week 1-2

I created an animated logo for our groups name ‘Big Teeth’ , the reason it was named big teeth was so that it tied in thematically with the game where we making.


During the first week of this project I was assigned the role of lead concept artist, we had decided that the game was going to have a red riding hood theme where red riding hood has two wolf companions and she has to defeat the monsters she comes across when sucked into ‘the other world’ .It was going to be a 2.5D game and for that we needed a main character which I then started to make concept art for-

I made many different designs with the main theme being red reading hood, and I tried to incorporate red into almost every design, the game is also set in the 18-1900 so I tried to keep her design period appropriate, Also we had an idea to have her change outfits when going into the night world so I designed some outfits for that as well in this concept art .

I asked my group which designs where their favourite  and we had a vote, design number 15 won so that was the design I lead with going forward.


I was trying to decide of a design that would be easier to animate than a poncho so I created this design,I thought of maybe switching around the colours or trying a new hairstyle, our group decided in the end we would keep everything the same except for making the poncho into a hoodie, so now when the character movies her arms with be more visible and it will be less inconvenient to animate if she very pulled out a weapon.

I drew up an expression sheet as I thought it would be good to try and get a better understanding of the characters personality since in this game she was going to speak, we all decided in the end she was going to be more stern and more serious but at times she could be goofy.

I drew up this concept for her outfits in the ‘night world’ (on the left) and in the normal world , we ultimately decided not to have her change outfits at all as we realised we would have to animate her again but in an entirely new outfit which would be extremely time consuming.
