Assignment 2: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde


Your assignment throughout this course is design a new concept based on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They can be from any time period, past present or future. Create a new take, a new style on the characters. Are they spacemen, pirates, cowboys. You get the idea.

For this assignment:

1. Write out a description of a new Jekyll and Hyde character like the (example below) keep it short and simple
2. Draw a silhouette of the two characters you come up with.


Me: I really enjoyed this assignment as it helped me to focus purely on shape and discover how a combo of the right ones can create a very readable character. I experimented with many shape variations, and found the whole lesson invaluable in coming up with a strong silhouette and thus strong character. I engaged with Jekyll a lot more than Hyde, maybe because his traits were so clear in my head.

Silver: Awesome job, there is some great shape variation here, it has clarity and reads. Think about how you envision this, is it a 3D feature film, a TV cartoon? I see this as being a 3D feature, so when you progress with it you may want to create detail relevant to that. Hyde feels a little blobby at the moment as doesn't read as clearly as Jekyll. The next stage now is to really experiment with the chosen poses, think about features, length of clothing etc.
