Preproduction - Blackberry Monster Animation

Concept Art for the Animation and initial sketches of the characters. A lot of the initial color tests and lighting tests came from actual references, mainly photographs and paintings which i thought helped on the mood i would like the animation to have.

First Sketch of the blackberry monster, done back in 2006.

The moment I decided to animate this character I imediatly thought on narrowing down lines and turning him into basic shapes for him to be animatable.

This final image is the finished look of the animation, gives the mood i've been looking for.
