Still scribbling Korra.
So I was reading the character bios and it said for Beifong “this metal and earthbending police chief sees Korra’s arrival as the biggest threat Republic City has faced in recent times. Korra’s reckless ways are constantly leaving Lin Beifong’s streets in ruin.” and my mind just went to Batman, thus this was created.
Ironically, I was watching Superman the Animated Series while drawing this.
The names of Aang and Katara’s other children AND personality info…
SPOILERS!
Woah is it weird that I kinda predicted Tenzin having blue eyes? XD When I colored in his concept art I gave him blue eyes.
And eeeek more airbenders!
Very very tiny Korra preview, from 0:19 to 0:31, and a quick still shot of Amon at 1:01.
What is interesting is that they’ve used mostly background shots ( BG designs, since there are no characters in the city shots??), and the other shots look like they are from an animatic: the bg characters are simplified and there are construction- volume lines on Korra.
For those who are unfamiliar with animatics, it is the storyboards that are digitized and edited with the voices, to make sure the timing and cuts are right before being sent to animation. Temp sound fx and music can also be added, but won’t be used for the final mix.
All I can say is solid drawings in these boards! I *love* seeing animatic and the rough energy in the drawings. If it is that solid at the boards level, the animation will kick @$$. They also took the time to add colours, which is really not always necessary for storyboards, but definitely can help sell a scene better.
