John and Alice and everythig else


I have come to feel that my script has come to it's almost last draft, which will post soonish. Last week got down to finish up some thumbnails and drew up both characters, now gotta concentrate on the garden and it's details (cat, rake, trees, grass,etc)
I have decided to give "paper marbling" a go for my backgrounds, which i was lucky enough to bump into at a Turkish festival last week. paint up all the trees, flowers, grass and composite them all in after effects, if that doesn't work for either time or technically goes wrong I will stick to water coloring everything.
I want to give my animation a watercolor paper texture/water colored gag feel to it (last year I gave a 'old children book for The Blackberry Monster). The animation will take place inside a margin of watercolor background, like newspaper cartoonists paint their gags.
And 'only if I have time' to try out a VFX for when John picks up Alice and walks to the side of the garden, to make the background open up, as if washed on the paper revealing the rest of the background. Kinda hard to explain but will explain to who ever asks ;D.
So here goes an expression sheet for Alice and the final design for John (although I might work a bit on his outfit, probably a pair of boots? we'll see)
