Good day Bad day: Final colours

With the colouring now finally being started, Ive had to make sure the colours were all working well. From the initial tests, the colours seemed really strong and bold, and were taking away from thre sketchy lines and movments of the animation. So I attempted a few quick versions and ways of colouring...

...and a more diluted, softer colour pallette seemed to suit them well, with white shading aroudn the edges. They still stand out as the main focus of the piece, but blend in to the scenes more and the colours allow the lines of the animation to be clear.

There were also some changes in the designs of the characters along the way which made them easier to replicate and smoother, less complicated for me to use and the audience to view...

And these are the final designs and colours for the bird and cat- making them fit into the world...
