That’s basically how I came up with his head shape.
What’s always funny is when someone asks, “is it fur or is it flesh?” My answer is yes.
So I combined an axolotl with rabbit and gave it extra lumps. And then axolotls are my favorite reptile - or is it amphibian? I always forget which one. I feel like bunny characters are really popular. Just so you know, he’s actually a fusion of a bunny and an axolotl. I gotta come up with some names for these lil dudes! #characterdesign #Smile #Agent #Frog #creatures #one #off #colors #illustration #conceptart #cartoon #Pink #green #orange #logo #walking #tie #process #sketch #digitalart #progress /YNVe0MkgBO- Nic Parris February 6, 2020 I named him Smilez with a Z.ĭoing some more “1 Off” character designs. But the more I thought about it, I wanted him to just be this character that brings smiles to everyone. He was originally “1.” I was going to do a neon noir story, so I had him in detective clothes, but he still had the thing where he hates wearing shoes. Nic: Going through the history, Smilez was supposed to be part of a story I was coming up with called 1 Off. Can you tell us how the design of Smilez came about? If you enjoy this interview, you can find new videos on Twitch and YouTube every week. Need to brighten your mood? Watch our full video interview below or read our excerpts from the stream. The conversation includes a walkthrough of the Smilez rig, tips for designing characters with cutout animation in mind, and advice for artists interested in starting their careers in animation. We invited Jordan Beatty and Nic Parris onto our livestream to discuss the design and rigging process that went into this character.
Jordan’s rig works in Harmony Premium and takes advantage of features currently used in production rigs. This Smilez character rig includes an 8-point turnaround, contains a set of happy, neutral and sad mouth shapes, multiple facial controls, as well as a fully-deformable body.
His latest creation adapts Nic Parris‘ character, Smilez, for cutout animation. In his spare time, Jordan builds free character rigs, which he shares on his Gumroad page. Jordan Beatty is a rigging artist based out of Ireland. If you already downloaded every available example file from the Toon Boom Learn Portal, we found something to put a smile on your face. Sample character rigs are extremely helpful for artists interested in the craft of cutout animation or 2D rigging.
