After deciding what I wanted from the project this semester I started to conceptualise some ideas that I had. This is where I got the idea for “Bonehedz” I only spent a short amount of time creating these. (They are only initial designs, not final). I tried to make character out of simple shapes, most of the elements in the character above have stemmed from a simple circle.

Now onto the idea itself, “Bonehedz”. Will be a short sketch based animations revolving around two skeletons. The skeletons are miscreants and are always causing mischief whether its towards each other or the world around them.

For this project I really wanted to do character animation. I feel characters are a great way to show expression and emotion, especially in animation as they have to be manipulated by the animator/ puppeteer in order to create a human like aspect to them. One of my inspirations is the tongue and cheek style of Tom & Jerry. The two characters are constantly at war and often find more ridiculous ways to cause mischief.
