The group I started off with was group 5. We all came up with a bunch of ideas for what the subject of our animation would be and we ultimately decided on Space Olympics, where humans and a number of various alien races compete in Olympic sports. I started off doing character designs for various characters and alien races that would participate in the games, like humans for Earth, fire beings for Mercury, robots, etc.
Here are the concept sketches for some characters, as well as what the outfits would look like.
These are black and white studies. The first picture is a storyboard for what I would’ve pictured the opening scene of the animation would be and the other two are location studies, various places that the Olympics would host other sports in (a boxing ring for boxing and a mountain for surfing).
These are color versions of concept art.
I later switched to another group that had a different idea for the animation.
