Surf's Up Rough Character Design
When we started the Surf's Up project, there was no script, directors or character designers. Regardless, we knew this was going to be our next project and so began the task of fleshing out this world. One of the inherent problems that penguins have is that they all look a like. So, I thought it would be interesting to play with the patterning of the penguins to make them more distinctive and interesting. I began exploring patterning that would reflect the tattoo patterns that surfers today wear. Here's one of my rough concept sketches for my idea.
When the directors came on board, they liked this idea of tattoo patterning and so it stuck. Later on, Sylvain Deboissy became our character designer and did a fantastic job creating the various patterning you see in the final character designs.
This drawing is pen and magic marker. No...heh-heh...magic marker is not a computer program.

It's a wonderful concept sketch, Marcelo! Speaking as someone who has a -lot- of trouble with digital art, seeing traditional stuff truly is refreshing these days. Makes me feel less aged...
