Pictured above is the character design of the main character. I also have a version without his scarf and hair so i can model the head better. Having the scarf in place adds to the character, while also easing the work load of me having to have a fully deformable mouth. I also like the added challenge of having to evoke emotion from the model using only body language and eye movement.
Above is the storyboard. The second page hasn't been colored in, but since the story still needs some work, I'll probably have to change some panels up anyways. The general story goes as such:
The protagonist, roughly 14-15 years old, has just defeated a guardian of a chamber, holding the sibling sword of the one he is wielding. In order to vanquish the evil of the land and restore balance, the hero believes he must join the power of the two swords, and unleash its power. As the hero enters the chamber holding the sword, he looks around, and beings to approach the altar in the center. As a final challenge for the protagonist, the room has a magical protection that creates shadow versions of himself that begin to apparate from the outer edge of the chamber. They slowly begin to converge toward him.
The hero quickly realizes what is happening, and begins to pick up speed in determination. He climbs to the top of the altar where one of two light posts is shining. He approaches the sword, and apprehensively grabs the sword from its holder. In triumph he raises the two swords together. However, nothing happens. He looks around and sees that the shadow monsters are growing larger and more aggressive, and the device behind the altar has shifted and looks off balance. The hero looks at this, and notices the light has gone out of the post. He realizes he must give up both swords, and relinquish his power in order to defeat the evil. He places the swords back in place, and a shockwave blasts the evil away.
Below is a rough Previsual using a character from another animation, and a rough version of the chamber.
