Personal Sketches and items pasted from sketchbook
When I work as an artist I dont work in order, ill pick something that inspires me and ill go from aspect to aspect back and forth. so it will be with this blog.
the above creature designs are two of my ideas for demons based on the seven deadly sins. above is "Wrath" and the top demon is "Sloth" both are distinct. wrath is used in the script and story board and it is the plan to use it in the acual animation.
A print out of the houses of Parliment seeing as the story is set in Present day London.

side view of demon idea. I like to make main characters assculptural pieces so I can hold them in the real world and examine thier details from any angle so that I have the correct reference when it comes to animation.

a scan from the sketchbook of an idea of london town and the main character on a roof top. my earlyer idea was that the story was set in the future which explaind the flying cop car with the search light...
the overall stories visuals broken down into eight basic panels so that I know whare I am going to be going and to remind me of key moments that prompt me of other details yet to be explored.
In the begining I had an idea about a Vampire being sealed in the underground behind a wall and frozen in time and covered in spiderwebs... it was going to expand into a story but I kind of combined it with the current idea of having an imortal, I just changed the imortals gender and the fact that shes an angel and a bunch of supporting characters.....
Angelica the basic marquette sculpt.
This is the main character of the piece who is reaching for a sword and on the look out for demons to slay.
The wings are just wire and masking tape for lightness reasons.
A back wiew of the sculpt. I like that she looks like she is a very light and slender person and able to take off at amoments notice.
A concept sketch of a Gluttony demon and size comparrison to a man.
Early sketch of an Envy demon (see sketchbook)
based on Etheopeans and bats.
A fairly quick sketch I did on the bus towards the main character in a fight with a possessed man.
Another train sketch of Angelica with flowing red hair, perhaps I was influenced by Pixar's Brave. the current design has white hair in a black and white animation style (at least that is the way I see it in my mind)
The story is pretty much a lone angel facing many types of Demons, here is a train ketch demon I drew early on in the creative process. It wasnt used but its DNA is ingrained in the feel of the piece.
A scan of a greed Demon. it might not be clear but this is a business man demon and hes so greedy with too much money hes not noticing hes spilling his notes as he commutes on the under ground...
three sheet scans that were a part of the research process towards finding a weapon for Agelica to use on her adversaries.
A dominent figure in London arctecture- "madame justice" which gives the piece a feeling of dealing out death end judgement out to the evil doers.
An idea that I may use... not in this story though.
tree spirit companion of Angelica who can change shape at will.
The kid with mind powers side character. Just like tree spirit, he wont be used directly in the animation but its all part of the fun process.
Here is a basic time line of happenings to the character that will aid myself as I develop the story further in the future.
