Live Brief 3 - Durex - Characters and Rough Storyboard

Designed some more refined characters. These people will be hellbent on obtaining a condom in the morning. It's their favourite thing to do.

Here I wanted to return a little to my classical style and incorporate my usual energetic animation. My worry with the characters is that I want to keep them playful and colourful without it seeming patronising and childish to 18-24 yr olds.




Dave Frisbee changed his name to Adrian Frisbee, to sound less like a middle aged Yorkshireman and more like someone the YOOF can relate to.



Wonky Nigel's style has been updated since I drew this, so he looks like he could inhabit the same universe as Adrian Frisbee. He still has the flower on his head, though. Someone suggested I change his name to 'Flower Head Jim' but this suggestion was met largely with vitriol and hatred from my coursemates.




Shmick Spence needs the most work. I'm not really sure what to do with her so might redesign her a little. In a weekly crit, the rest of the class thought her name made no sense. 
To me it makes perfect sense. Her name is Spence and she's pretty shmick.
