Character Loop

My initial idea was to use the shape of an eye to create my character in some way. I experimented with drawings for a while and I came up with a "flying eye", this basically looked like an eye with wings. I was pleased with this drawing but I carried on experimenting. I then began to toy around with the idea of using a rocket.  The second drawing I produced was the "rocket on wheels", I received good feedback on this design. It is my favorite design because it contains three elements that can be animated: the wheels, fire and eyes. From then on I started drawing random images, hoping to stumble upon a good idea. During this process I drew a running banana, an iron, the earth and a skier. Animating the skier's arm movement and body posture whilst moving would have been complicated to create. I enjoyed the idea of the earth rotating. But it soon dawned on me that we were set this task to try and create our own graffiti style character, so I decided the animating the earth was not a good idea.

The design that I have decided to animate is the rocket. It is a design that is not too complex but not too basic. The animation elements are simple but because there will be three loop animations, the overall animation will be visually stimulating for the audience.
