Insitus: Mice and Cookies

I am exploring the characters at the moment. One way to do this is to think about how they interact with each other and their environment. I tried to think of quirky little stories that would occur in a few episodes. I like the idea that the kids constructed this robotic mouse to keep MumBot occupied while they make their mischief. She would then develop an obsession with it close to Captain Ahab and Moby Dick. The scale is a bit off on the sequence with the mouse but it is a very quick rough.

Opps been a while...

This must be one of the longest spells I've gone without uploading anything. So I've been working a lot on the sort of additional details for the world. I think detail is important as it will make the series more beliveable. These are billboard designs. I still need to design billboards to mount them onto and I'm toying with the idea of having them on separate planets as well as (or instead of) on top of buildings. Its been fun coming up with futuristic product ideas as well as researching ad campaigns from the '50's. I think they have that sort of vintage look while seeming futuristic. I think the content juxtaposes with the style. Also, these are still fairly rough in places. I need clean vector style robots in two of them.

New Project

Finally back in uni and I have a new project. Its nice to have something to focus on :) its flash based which freaked me out at first as I have had problems with the program in the past. The first week I had time to play around with the program and get to know what it could do which was very useful. My idea is space based, because I thought it would help with the idea I have for the final major. I'm still designing but here are some backgrounds as they appear in my storyboard
