Using my initial thumbnails as a starting guide I made more thumbnails up using similar shapes. They're all looking pretty cute and innocent like I want so it's just a case of continuing to develop some of these until I'm completely happy. My favourites are 2, 4, 5, 9 and 11.
Lots of variation ! - but don't forget about form rather than focusing on facial expression of a character that does not yet have a personality. If you look at the silhouettes of 11 to 15, they're almost all circles. Push design shapes! (The best you can with a cell)
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of thumbnails 11-15. Although thumbnails 1-9 have their merits because the camera can show the face while the virus inserts it's hijacking code. They do look cute, I will admit that.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the size difference between a cell and an influenza virus, maybe you could explore something that looks big and loveable?
