The Droop Makes One Look Old

Earlier on in the project, I struggled with making Frank and Ella look old as their jet black fur, make it difficult to indicate their age. However, with the help of Justin, I was able to give the couple droopy eyes and rounder bodies.For the Maya models, I had to rig the eyes to make them droopy. The eyes do require some adjustment, but I'm getting there

Cat Poses

For Frank, I referenced a more rotund body type, while Ella had a more curvy body type as her reference. Kat Dennings and Christina Hendricks provided an excellent reference for the stance and poise that I had in mind for Ella.

Frank's Animation Render-in-progress

After a weekend of frustration and hair-pulling (Sir P. does not have a moustache anymore) because the textures on Frank's face kept disappearing...I used a different Blinn and the textures stuck. How simple..

Frank Owle Character Turnaround

He's ready! I added the scratchy video effect for the 1930's video look. It's intentional, I swear!
