Although we was given the model and rig for our synoptic project, we had the freedom to retexture the model. I took the opportunity to experiment with different styles for the character during our character bio homework.
I looked at many different styles but I knew I wanted to include some elements of urban street fashion as I felt this would match the character and her actions throughout the animation. This was also work with our limited ability to change the characters clothing, other then simply re-texturing. I had lots of inspiration but I thought a branded t-shirt, preferably black or a neutral colour, and camo jeans would look the best. I chose this as the camo jeans would make the character look less bland and include some pattern, and a black. branded t-shirt as not only does this add some realism, but would neutral out the jeans and is seen in many urban street styled outfits. Further more, the darker colours really help the bright coloured headphones the character uses throughout the animation.
From the start we knew we also wanted to include a pair of headphones as this created the perfect opportunity for music and sound effects in the animation and could also add a pop of colour to the character which makes her stand out. We chose the colour red as is stands out and contrasts not only the character, but the background.
We also took the opportunity to change the character's hair colour as it was originally red which would not only clash with the red headphones, but we thought that brown would look better.
