Character Designs

Character Turnaround

Model Sheet

As you can see the character design is very different from the concept art. In my conquest of designing her and making both sheets I was worried about her design being too complicated so what is the best way to simplify? Make her a cat! I kept all of the colors the same so obviously the same character :)

Concept Art: Part 2

The Revamp

Based on the end of my first semester I decided to re write the story I had made just slightly. The animatic I had created felt a little all over the place so I worked with my professor to make a more straight forward plot.

The New Story!

Rebecca hates the idea of leaving her house but as she discovers she is out of food! With great resistance she makes up the courage to make her way outside. follow her as she experiences a tragic accident, has a out of body experience, and even a surprise twist ending!

Rough Shots:

Also to note all of the backgrounds were referenced from a sims house I made to get the layout right this time! I then outsorced and payed someone to draw my backgrounds because I wouldn't have the time to draw them myself
