"The Bookworm" Thesis Designs

These are some of the Character and Environment designs created for my thesis short film, tentatively entitled (working title) "The Bookworm". These were made with the assistance of Juliet H., a freelance designer. Although the script, storyboards and animatic are (almost) completely done, I am keeping the story to myself and a select few others for now. This is being planned out, at the current time, as a stop motion/CG hybrid short film.

The main character, "Bookworm". He is a quiet, studious fellow who keeps to himself.

The Bookworm's neighbor, "Ms. Caterpillar". She is a flamboyant lady who enjoys letting loose and having fun.
