Exploratory Sketches

Over the summer thus far, I have been preparing for my senior project. I've been writing a short children's story about an all animal circus that is run by the animals themselves.   I have been making a lot of progress. I have the story completed it just needs a little bit of revision.  I have been exploring character design and possibilities for these characters. I have a few animals left to do and i'll be posting them next week and I'll be refining some the exploratory sketches and come up with my character's final designs.  This project will be an animated story book using the toonboom puppet tool and after effects. I'm pretty excited and hope that it will get green lit.  Here's just a taste of some early concept work and there's much more work to come!
