The first character has been envisioned. Herbert Jr or Herbie, is the young boy in the story. The sketches are all very simple and quick but I am still fleshing out so he will continue to change until I am 100% happy with the look. I have always been a massive fan of the way the Disney masters and so this what I am trying to recreate in these designs. The sketches were done while I have been at film school during renders using PF Track. I have neglected this film slightly over the last month and its a good feeling to have something on paper instead of living inside my head.

I have tried to design 'Herbie' with Maya in mind because the software will be the stalwart during production. The character is made up of simple shapes for instance his head is a rectangle and triangle for the mouth area and his body is stout similar to a box with thin arms and legs. I am looking forward to trying out material test for his clothes and designing the sets and locations the film will take place in. The next stage now will be simple mood sheets which will again help to character creation.
