Matthias design

My first storyboarding class with Rad Sechrist was last night and it was great! I learned a ton :)

I'm doing a short storyboard sequence this week, but first I need a couple character designs. Anthony Holden did a great Redwall piece last week, which inspired me to buy and read the book (never heard of it before). Started reading it last night and there's a sequence in the first chapter that I think would be fun to storyboard out with what I've learned so far. Since Redwall has been illustrated and had an animated series, I didn't want to use the same designs, so I decided to redesign the characters I need as humans. So, here's my first pass at Matthias as a human boy, carrying apples instead of hazelnuts.
