Molli Reynolds - Character Design

Group Project - Adrift - Character Design

As the team's character designer, I was tasked to design two characters for our team's 3D short film Adrift: Rivet (human) and Ruby (canine).

Adrift is a story about a space engineer named Rivet who has been notified to check on the Angelou, another ship that had recently sent a distress signal, and investigate where its crew members had disappeared to.

As Rivet explored the Angelou, she comes to the realisation after a terrifying encounter that the crew members had been killed by a malicious alien. As she escapes from the Angelou, she rescues the sole survivor from the Angelou - Ruby the dog. 

(Little did Rivet know that the alien can shapeshift).

Retired Disney Princess

This character was for a friend to 2D animate. They wanted me to design an old lady, in the classic Disney style, who was once a Disney princess in her youth, but became a gardener once she retired.

Confectionary Cavalry (WIP)

This is a WIP project - had an idea to design characters as if they were for a co-op 2D platforming game - similar to games such as Castle Crashers and Shovel Knight. Characters are made out of sweets.

So far all final concepts of the four characters are done. However, only the Chocolate Knight has all of their sheets done.

These are the final concepts of the three other characters:

Liquorice Ninja

Cotton Candy Mage

Marshmallow Warrior
