I'm Christie Hicks. I am currently an animation student. I specialize in story art and character animation. 

Art for the Upcoming Animated Project: Sewer Fight

Project Overview: This is pre-production work for an upcoming animated short film of mine with the working title “Sewer Fight.” I am working on background, character, and story elements before breaking into production on the project.

Background Art

The background art is meant to give a setting for the characters. The goal is to create mood, while also effectively setting the stage for the story to be told. In my backgrounds, I worked to create an unsettling, claustrophobic atmosphere where my characters could interact.

Characters

Here I worked on designing two of my main characters. I worked hard on making them represent the post-apocalyptic world they live in through the costume design.

Turnarounds

Here I worked on the turnarounds for the characters which I could reference later.

Script

For the story aspect, I started with an informal script detailing the action.

Shot List

From there I worked on a shot list which broke the story down into individual shots.

Thumbnails

I then went to photoshop and thumbnailed every shot from my shot list.

Storyboards

After that I referenced my thumbnails and began my storyboards.
