GAFFER SKETCHES

And here's the robot's concept sketches. Bax sent them at the same time as Lucy, but I divided them up here so you could see the progression.

For Gaffer I liked the version where he is holding the mic but I like the headwith no jaw I made on the upper left corner better. Maybe a crossbreed of both would look nice.

After checking out the sketch, this is what I sent her:

I liked the pic of Gaffer holding the boom mic, too. There's something cute about him, and I see what you mean about merging the two different heads. Although, the head on that one is really starting to grow on me. He's got a weird-happy look to him.

I would say, that his eyes will probably do MOST of his expressions, so whatever we end up going with - his eyes'll need to move back and forth in the eye slots, or the pupils will move around if the eyes sokets are locked in pace. Does any of that make sense?

I think the body is pretty good, and I like that the upper torso is more smooth looking than the other sketches.

Here's the revised head she sent me back. I think we're gonna have fun using the eyes in various scenes.
