Now that the characters have been completely modelled and rigged, the next stage for them was texturing. Chelsea, working from colour schemes I created within the pre-production stage, has created the textures for the two characters, as seen below. I think that the textured versions of the characters have turned out very well, and reflect the aesthetic I envisioned for them. The textures complement the models and turn them into the fully fledged characters I always hoped for them.
The Old Man
The Orphan
The characters have certainly been created in a deliberately stylistic way, as I wanted to avoid any sort of photo realism. I always saw the characters as perhaps resembling that of a stop-motion animated characters, with aspects of the characters appearing to be hand crafted solid objects; such as the Old Man's beard. The textures have added to this, creating what I see as a whole, complete character.
