All Finished

I have finally finished my Lightning bird animation. About a hunter that goes to kill the legendary lightning bird  with surprising consequences. You can watch it here.

Many Backgrounds

Here are a few backgrounds that I have designed for my Lightning bird animation. Wanted to keep the spooky midnight feel there through out the animation.

Hunter and the Lightning Bird (Impundulu)

Here are the final designs for my Lightning Bird (Impundulu)  animation. The Hunter is going to try and catch the bird with surprising consequences. Here I have experimented with gradient as shading and I think it has worked out pretty well might do more of it. In the mean time if you want to have a look at the animatic for these characters then here it is https://vimeo.com/52530577 I am currently working on the riggs for both of these in Toon Boom.

More Impundulu designs

Here are some more designs for the Impundulu. The bottom one is with a background, still need to work on backgrounds as I did this one quite quickly. I like the Impundulu better that the other one.

Impundulu

his is a new character for a myths and legend project that I am doing. This is an Impundulu, a vampire type bird that lures women away and drinks there blood. Said to be a familiar for witches and Voodoo men. 

Can't decide if the tips if his wing should be yellow or just left grey. 

He still has a lot of development to go as I am still debating about the colours but I do like the general shape of the character.
