Influences for the character

I have been looking into influences for our character, and i have found the most fruitfull source of inspiration lies within graphic novels, especially more human based stories, from the likes of Will Eisner, Adrian Tomine, Daniel Clowes. The characters are exstremely self indulgent and perfectly reflects out character. I can imagine this is these are the kind of books she reads.




Also, I think the style of Adrian Tomine, perfectly reflects the characters personality, simple and direct.

On keeping with the idea of revealing things to their simplest. I remembered this 1980's movie by John carpenter called 'They Live' , this scene shows the main character discover that these sunglasses he wears reveals the truth.


I also imagine her mind to somewhat function in this way, everything fits.



Slinky Pictures style of colliding animation with live action has always been an influence and nothing works better than Dads Dead, and this is perhaps the angle i am wanting to take the animation.



With D&ad initially i was worried about the 60 seconds limit, for introducing a character. Then I remembered this animation done for playstation 2, its exactly 60 seconds long. The pace is blistering not giving the audience a chance.
