These are sketches exploring the possible set for the girl to intact with as she travels and explores space. The fourth one I think will be quite nice to develop further as it could be used as an establishing shot.
While working on the environment thumbnail sketches I went to a caffe and found a menu for tea flowers. These are dried flowers and leaves tied together so when they are added to hot water they add flavour to the water but also unwrap and unfurl revealing their leaves and flowers. This menu had the stage by stage opening of these tea flowers which I thought would be quite inspiring and relevant to the creation of the flower in my animation.
During the holidays I also did some sketches and thumbnails to create a range of looks for the cloud structures. The images below are in order of their creation so you can see the development of the ideas. The main focus was to create a space for the animation and character performance to take place.
To start off the concept art process I asks Jen Harter to do some concept art for the cloud landscape. Below are her rough sketches and ideas of cloud shapes and ideas for the environment.
