Description
I made up a quick Ellie the Angel model sheet for my reference but thought you guys might want to see it.I see some stuff that I would refine more as I tighten it up, but close enough for me to keep her a bit more consistent.
It's always a good learning process for me to do turns on a character. You really get to know them from a technical aspect, which is not my strong point. I just want to make them "act"!
I still need to do a little bird wing reference to make sure my wings, while simplified, are based on the proper anatomy. I animated a few birds while at Disney, so I think it's close. Remember the little birds that jumped into Beasts hand when he was feeding them? Remember the birds that got released by Jasmine when she flung open the cage? All me baby! Some of my first Disney animation right there! Oh yeah, then there was some Iago scenes too, but the real good ones were by my brother, Tony. )

I have an art question, why do turn model sheets only show the front, side and front perspective of the character and never the back view or back perspective?
I'm asking because I've seen multiple turn model sheets using this layout, and I'm curious why that is.

I like this idea, but I'm not sure why a character like this needs to have such a revealing costume.ย Those are some MIGHTY short shorts.ย More like denim undies, really.

Too cute
and a good resource to help practice or learn the ins and outs of characters

I was looking for a little project character to do in 3D. Hope you don't mind if I use her for a reference. If I do I will credit back to you.

Might be my eyes making comparisons, but there's quite a likeness to Nina from Breath of Fire IV

That's an awkwardly appealing compliment, thanks man.

She's absolutely adorable, and you did a splendid job on the turns.
I love her design as well, it's very simple but has a lot of personality to it.

HA, I hadn't thought about that, but you are probably right. At least I got out of the 80s for once. Good note, I guess she's a "retro" girl.

Yes! she's remids me of Magic School Buss or pretty much any other saturday morning cartoon. Can I point at the Ellie on the right? Her head is a little stretched backwards, and does not give an impression that her head is perfectly spherical. Sorry if that was too harsh but I encourage constructive critique.

Now how does the animation process work. Do you do a ruff animation of lets say Mushu then it gets sent over to Korea for fine tuning or do you just do the whole Shebang?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
At Disney features, we did it all. No sending it overseas. TV animation would send it overseas though.

I salute you work horses of Disney!

I marvel at an artist who can do turns. Especially like you can Tom. I really need to buckle down on that. Profiles are the worst for me to do.

Thanks. Profiles are a bear.
