Funky Rolling Puffer Fish
Animation test for a possible character concept for video game.
The concept was to create a rolling dangerous yet inviting character that can either be playable or presented as a hazard. If playable the player would be able to traverse land and destroy crates and other various items and characters. If a hazard this character would chase the player with a blank expression.
Process
When animating this character the keeping track of the number and positioning of each individual spike and feature was critical to the illusion of a roll. Using a sphere as a guide I drew all the spikes and features and kept the size and distance of each feature consistent in each frame.
