Doing the animation tasks 03

The third one was from Bilibili. The first task they gave me is from their action design department.

  1. Title:
    Main character: [Arrogant] born superior to others. Therefore, he is proud and arrogant, and likes to order and boss others around.
    Personality: [Tsundere] She has a kind and soft heart, but in order to maintain the image of high above, she will never show them, to cover up with insolent attitude.
    Attack: Spells, no physical weapons
    Body: girl, petite and lovely.
    According to the role information in the table above, design the three actions of standing, running and jumping for the role.
  2. Design requirements:
    1) Clarify the design ideas;
    2) Display the design results (in any form, through pictures, action files, reference materials, etc.), combined with some text explanation;

I have found some reference pictures above according to the attributes of arrogance and arrogance, which are basically some well-known Japanese female characters. There are a lot of common positions, such as one hand or hands akimbo, arm over chest. Run confidently and decisively, with a slightly larger range of action and jump and land in a cool way.

According to the attack mode and posture of the role, I choose a rig that is more consistent with these settings to do the action design:

standing pose:

I designed the standing pose with a more confident posture, with one hand akimbo and a little lift of the head, showing that she was very short but liked to look at people with her nostrils. Shows the feeling of  arrogant. I also made her to smile a little bit scornful; try to design a feeling of pride and dignity, but also cute.

Running:

The main feeling of running is confidence and assertiveness, with the arms swinging a bit more and the toes coming up when the heel hits the ground, which looks more powerful.

Jumping:

The four images are take-off, peak, fall and landing. Be confident in the movements and the facial expressions, and use cool postures.

The picture above is the second task:

  • Please design a performance animation (including facial expressions) of the provided characters, which should be no less than 10 seconds.
  • The character is timid and cowardly.
  • Complete the task within 7 days.

I have looked for some cowardly characters. Zenitsu from Demon Slayer really impressed me. I quite like when he is walking in a dark house and scaring of the demons. I could’t find the clips from the Youtube but I found the Zenitsu’s screaming moments.

sneaky walk reference

The performance I designed, is the character walking sneaky because he was afraid of his surroundings. Suddenly there was a sound behind him. He turned slowly but jumped in fright and fell to the ground, unable to move.
