Chase The Dog

One of the projects during my second year at University was to design a character.

I chose Chase, the loveable and loyal hound whose been running around in my doodle books for a good many years now, so I thought I'd finally give him the chance to leap out of the pages and come to life a bit more.

Hopefully you'll be able to understand the story, but for those who don't, I'll explain...

Initial Chase Designs

Turn Around Sheets

Part of the project was to include a posed model of our character. I used a mini screw driving kit to add details; mouth, fur, etc.

We also needed to develop a walk cycle and Animatic featuring our character in a scenario that best presents their personality.

The sequence follows Chase as he searches for his owner by tracking his scent. He discovers an item belonging to his owner as well as a footprint trail. But when it suddenly rains the trail begins to fade, and so Chase must hurry before he looses the scent of his owner again.
