Now if only I could do some real work.

Storyboard - Prologue
This is the end scene from the script's prologue. Everything before this is "archive" footage, of 9/11, 7/7 and Tony Blair talking to a crowd.
Loosely speaking, the story is set in an alternate version of Britain, where the country has come under totalitarian rule. In this sequence, we see Police roughly remove an infidel from his car, and one of the main characters introduce the setting (a bit).

Character Design (for some storyboards)
So, I needed a mini-project (storyboards) to pad out my major project (or so I have been informed by a couple of tutors).
This mini-project is two-fold, firstly, design the look of the major players. Secondly, storyboard the script.
Initially, I started storyboarding from the start, with the intention of producing EVERYTHING. Then I remembered that not EVERYTHING needs to be boarded, so I am now going to focus on major events in the script.
Anyway, here are the character designs - not much of a description was given to me, so I had to chase the script writer up for some info...
Percy: A civilian, wears glasses, looks like Jeff Goldblume in ID4. That was literally what I was told. So I drew Jeff Goldblume in ID4.
Evelyn: ragged looking, straggly hair, facial hair, ex-military, trenchcoat.
I took this and ran with it a bit, added a couple of my own ideas. Initially I had him in just a red hoody, but Grant wanted the trench coat for that military feel. I think the trenchcoat is a layer too many, but no matter.
Mary: French resistance-look, stripey top, beret, long scarf, long bob.
Very well recieved in feedback session. I was not exactly aiming for anatomical correctness here...
Oscar: short military buzz cut, armed forces.
Initially, Grant wanted him in naval attire. This would be a bit of a pain in the arse, and tbh, camo is much easier to recognise on a storyboard, so my suggestion reigned supreme.

Minor upload
Thought I would get some of these up, they are finals being used by Joey in the comic. I have apologised to him numerous times about keeping colours the same - especially the skin tones - but its a losing battle when using day light for some of the painting, and lamp light for the rest.
Anyway, the finals are in Joeys hand!

Just thought I would upload some stuff...
Here are some of the Finals I have send to Joey. He has done some great things when composing them with his backgrounds and textures, and he should really upload them for all to see. Anyway, HERO!
