The Animated Self - Character

For the animation I looked a range of different character styles with various colours and influence from different artists. I wasn't sure what I wanted at first so I wanted to visually brain storm some ideas. Eventually I went with a silhouette idea to fit in with the art style that I had implemented already. I used a range of references in order to gather inspiration for the 'hunter' character in the animation and looked at things such as the deer hunter as well as the film, 'The Hunter'. I also looked at some more obscure references such as the ranger characters from the Pokemon games and military uniforms. Overall I'm quite happy with the silhouette idea as it means I can leave all of the expression down to gesture and movement as oppose to the characters expressions, and I wanted that kind of impersonal feeling to the main character as if he likes to be alone and live in the secluded area he does.
