WIP:Cartoon animation

[Erik]

Still in the progress of learning Maya i am now working on a very short animation about a couple of fishies and a jellyfish.

I'll post the character design and the 3d models here, and when i get around to making the storyboard readable to you i'll post an update of that too.

Since my scanner is broken they are photographs...

The concept sketches for the characters:

That looks cool. My first assignment from my intro maya class was to make a fish from primitives, hehe. I'm sure you know this but I would try to find as much 'Finding Nemo' video footage you can. Would make for some good stylized reference beyond videos of fish.

neat creatures ... i really like how the squid looks with the two eyes as you have concepted it on the first picture ... try to make them more comic like if you are infact going to make it really funny ...
