More Idea Sketches
These concepts are maybe a little redundant now as, after having some sense talked into me, I have realized I will not be able to make faces in Maya.
In these first three sketches I have attempted to show the three act structure of my animation.
1. Calm
2. Attack
3. Mutation & Production of New Viruses
These sketches show the stages of the mutation of the host cell.
I’m not certain weather or not I should digitally paint these concepts now that I’m not using the faces. Although that detail has changed the basic concept remains the same, therefore so will the colour.

Virus Cell Concepts
I’m not certain how appropriate the faces are, it might be way to over stylized. However the idea was to make it more fun for my target audience (12 to 16 year olds), so maybe it’s ok.
This concept doesn’t have the fleshy tones that I wanted, it was to dark. I created a grotesque tong like protuberance that extends from the mouth to attach to a host cell. This was to make it more vampiric, this was inspired by the vampires in Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain series of novels. In the novels the vampires have long stingers that protrude from there mouths.
These concepts show a virus cell and host cell; I have more successfully captured the fleshy tones in these images. These two are more passive looking, as apposed to the more psychotic first concept, perhaps this will make it more subtly creepy.
