This project was the main class project for a preproduction class I took in undergrad. It examined the preproduction process in the animation industry through the lens of a class project.

My concept here is about a girl named Millicent trying to escape an old house. As she explores more of the house the audience will see why she has a missing eye.

This idea started off with the idea of an old house and a dream I had of a guy that collected eye balls, so these are some early concept art pieces revolving around those ideas. On the left here is a dark hallway Millicent was going to explore, trying to figure out her surroundings. In retrospect, I made the piece too dark. It needs more contrast.

This was the room full of an eyeball collection Millicent was going to encounter towards the climax of my story.

Here is Ed, the main antagonist. I wanted him to contrast with the main character, Millicent.

The main character, Millicent was planned as a small girl who's rather cowardly, but disciplined.

Here are both characters in a height chart.
