I created an outline for him in Mental Ray. I guess it adds more depth to the shape and creats a better contrast with the environment (background). But… I am not really sure about this style.

I did quickly paint over my 3d rendering. The only 3d shaded things are the shoes and the trousers. The rest is added in Photoshop. I did this to develop the look for the 3d shading. I will try to reproduce this with Mental Ray.

These are the designs for Giuseppe Grossos car. I used the Fiat 500 as reference.

This is an early chracter comp. I did these to get a visual feeling how this two characters do work together. This isn’t a final result. I still see here alot of development to do…

The second character is called Gionfranco il Cativo. He is the cook in the restaurant and will be murdered by Giuseppe Grosso.

He has a very strong character and a big ego. Gionfranco loves to eat and hates everyone who isn’t digging his meals.

As always I did 20 drawings to shuffle them around.

This is the main character development for Giuseppe Grosso from the animated short Mafia.

He is a gentle, goofy like character. Deep in his heart he isn’t an evil mafiosi. So it is hard for him to kill a the guy in the story and vanish his body.

I created 20 versions of Giuseppe to research what people do like the most on this character and which is the most lough catcher. At the end I’ll shuffle them to get the super (goofy) hero.

This is the first main character draft drawing for the Mafia animated short. More is coming soon.

It is about a totaly goofy mafiosi who killed a man. But he isn’t able to vanish the dead body.

Synopsis:
A simple job? A mafiosi has the quest to kill a guy and tried to get rid of his dead body. But everything went wrong. What would you do with a corpse that can’t be vanished?
