Concept Portfolio Stuff

Instead of creating new character designs I've been putting together my portfolio package. I've hashed out designs for a mailer/take home postcard, a business card, and an animation reel menu animation. The latter is the most developed of the three, so here's a quick concept post.


The basic premise is that the smokestacks belch out smoke and the cogs turn. The animation will be looped, so nothing complicated that I would have no hope of completing. Oh yeah, did I mention the background music will be Raymond Scott's Powerhouse?

Now I just want to stress that this is a concept image. The colours aren't quite there yet, I want them more golden-yellow to fit the music, and the type is just a scribble to figure out how to fill the space. I'm thinking of adding a rough background because this one doesn't suit it. Then again, once I lock in the palette I may change my mind. Plus I don't know the limits of the program I'm using to make the DVD, so that may necessitate further changes.

Business card & postcard coming real soon!
