So during the first month of my time in the Visual Language program (now being called simply the Animation program), me and a small team of 3 other guys had to expand upon a story we chose in class. As part of the assignment, we also started sketching out ideas of how our characters would look.
Our team, which changed from simply "Untitled Story", to "Flower Story", to the short-lived "Life's a bloom" later on, and back to simply "Flower Story", knew from the get-go we wanted charming little rock creatures. These are some early sketches for the original 5 characters we wished to include in our short.
Eventually, the "twins" got nixed entirely, and the "big guy" and "middle guy" (labeled as the leader above) eventually morphed into what would be just Flint, and the "little guy" into Chip.
We went through a stage of a complete visual overhaul on the characters and made maquettes from the resulting sketches. Above was my revised version of Chip, still not quite the Chip in our movie.
