the lone wolf

So my brother was looking at my blog and pointed out that I never actually posted my lonewolf video after talking about it so much... Well here it is

THE LONE WOLF

new dawn, new day... new hope?

rocky wakes up and takes in the sunrise before heading back to a long day of walking through the desert.

nightfall

is that one word or two? anyway...

rocky, the lone wolf stops to rest for the night. while he sits there waiting for nightfall, he pulls something out and looks at it, longingly.

what is he looking at?

wandering through the desert

here's my lone wolf, rocky, walking on his lonely journey through the desert. this is from the opening scene of the animation.

where's he going?

wolftown

temporary name for the village in my lone wolf movie. i thought it would be interesting if they built their town in a circle with the more major buildings outside of it. everything is somewhat natural so it's all shades of brown for their desert town. i also realized that i should add a water source so it was more believable that they would have all settled there. i haven't done much set and background design yet, but i'm trying to figure out buildings and settings.

lone wolf turn arounds

the main characters of my current movie project. see this post for more info on the concepts behind them.

lone wolf characters

i'm working on a movie this semester about a lone wolf character. i figured, what better way to emphasize him being a lone wolf than having him be a wolf (cartoons are fun like that). i tried some different face shapes and proportions before i finally settled on the one i liked. i don't draw animal characters as much as i should, so it takes me longer to figure out how they fit in my style. once i had the male wolf, rocky, it was easier to come up with the girl wolf (still working on a name). i wanted the movie to take place in a desert so i tried to dress rocky appropriately. a black t-shirt may not be the smartest choice, but i thought it worked well with his utility belt, pants, boots and handkerchief. the girl wolf is more in the village area than the desert, so she can wear more civilian clothing. i thought her scarf was a good complement to rocky's handkerchief.
the bird character (who i'm thinking about naming dexter) is supposed to be a little more earthy. that's why he has green and brown and why he doesn't wear shoes... well he doesn't have shoes for another reason, but you'll see that later.

this is still in production, but i wanted to start introducing it here on my blog so i can bring everyone up to speed for when it's finished. i'm super excited about this project.
