Character Development Progress

my first idea for the main character in my story was to have a Russian Cosmonaut and his crew explore space to find treasure. I later realized that the models would take too long to make so i decided to go for a more cartoony low poly model. After deciding this, I chose to start making art for my main character and, taking inspiration from a few games I enjoyed, I created a simple character that would be used in my animation.

After finalizing the character design, I created a reference sheet for the character and began modeling in Maya. 

 

Story Development Progress

My main plan for the story at first was very bland so I had changed it a couple of times until it fit. the story I first started with was about exploration and nothing else but now my story is about finding treasure and morality.
