SO
i started with character designs after the animatic went horrifically wrong... but before the final animatic... if you can be bothered to watch them.. youll see his character changes half way through one of them and stays that way from then on... So basically... i went for three designs after trolling through google images for what felt like an hour, looking for some inspiration.
bear no.1 was a design from the teddybears made during the art nouveau period (kind of fluffy, moving joints, human like stature, beer belly, glass eyes)
bear no.2 bear no. 2 is kind of a take of from Disney's Brave, but smother with fur, short arms and big claws, which i though could be funny, animating him scraping claw marks into the panel desk or cutting through the back drop...
and bear no.3 was a mix between the two but with pointier ears, shorter less promenant muzzle, shorter arms, mid chubbiness, and shorter rounder claws
i think no. 3 won... and i continued to use him for the animatic. he seems smoothest, curlier, and i thought could draw him in photoshop in like 20% opacity and under animation have a texture background so when he moved the pattern changed, if you get that idea.. Ill probably do a text animation if i get a chance from the other impending projects.
