Final Turnarounds

I decided to explore my designs a little bit further for my second two turnarounds,combining some of my favorite parts of each to make some new idea.

I kept them all as female ideas because creating the basic turnaround took me longer than expected, so changing any shapes/sizes and gender would not give me enough time to make enough turnarounds.

Since each turnaround lasts for 2 seconds, I think that having all three run back to back for six seconds would work, giving you enough time to take in the design, but without keeping them on the screen for too long.

My first design is possibly my favorite, just because of the colours I have used that really make it stand out. I think that the shape is much more dramatic and memorable than the others as well, so this will definitely come before the other two when I combine the videos.

I like the simple design of the second character, and the detail around the cuffs and edges. For the third design, I wanted something less fancy - more of a washed up pirate kind of look. I think maybe some rips/tears would have worked well if I had time, and though the colouring works well to make the outfit much plainer than the other two, I am not 100% sure whether or not it works next to the other two, so I need to get some feedback on that before the exhibition.

I had fun creating these turnarounds. It was a struggle to find decent reference for 12 different frames - there seems to be mostly collections of 8 angles on the internet instead, so one or two frames don't look quite as accurate but when all put together in an animation, it works fine. I would like to try doing more of these over the summer, practicing drawing different people in different shapes/styles from different angles, and experimenting more with character design. It would also be good to use as a reference for any character that I might have to draw again and again.
