Devlog # 32 - Ben Expressions
Hi gamers!
Welcome to another devlog as we share our creative journey. Today, we will be focusing on the character expressions for our beloved character, Ben. Within our project, each smile, every frown, and every subtle nuance contributes to enhancing the storytelling journey. From the initial spark of inspiration to the final flourish of the digital brush, join us as we explore the intricate process of breathing life into our character.
We wanted to breathe life into our characters with a wide array of emotions. To achieve this, we deliberately exaggerated their expressions, allowing them to convey feelings in a visually compelling manner. We aimed for the character to evoke a spectrum of emotions, adding depth and charm. Our goal was to infuse them with childlike innocence, making them irresistibly endearing.
Keyframes for Animation:
To ensure seamless storytelling, we meticulously designed keyframes for every action. Each movement demanded a corresponding expression that not only conveyed the action but also amplified its appeal. From joyous leaps to timid hesitations, every emotion was meticulously crafted to enhance the narrative.
Tools and Techniques:
Harnessing the versatility of digital art, we utilized the Procreate app on iPad to bring our characters to life. The intuitive interface and robust features empowered us to explore a myriad of expressions seamlessly, breathing life into our creations with ease.
Here’s what our character expression sheet looks like
Stay tuned for more adventures and insights as we continue to bring our characters to life with every stroke of the digital brush. Until next time!
Best regards,
