New Storyline


First off all the ice creams are jumping in their traditional tribal manner. They continue to jump for a while until there is a moment where the cool whip wants to show off how high he can jump. Doing so, he jumps so high he ends up in space - when in space the moons eyes follow him as he glides across and goes back down. He thinks this will impress everyone where as the others have the opposite reaction and think that he is stupid and that it was out of order/unnecessary. As he is coming back down to the ground he loses control and starts to spin off in a crash landing, he happens to fall on his head and then begins to melt away. A close up of the small ice cream cone character has a shocked reaction saying "oh no!" whilst there is ice cream dripping from his mouth - this can be interpreted as a human drooling due to shock. The screen then goes blank at the climax of the song, the music cuts off and there is a complete blackout/silence for two seconds. Suddenly in a flash you see all the ice creams gathered together with the choc chip cool whip ice cream all around there mouths and dripping ever so slowly, this gives the image that they were not fond of him and are carnivorous.

this storyline follows in the same pattern as the original but to add an different twist to the end to make it more dramatic and to hopefully get the audience a bit shocked/humour them.

Final Characters

I have put all the characters together and they look really good in my mind. This is the style I wanted to achieve for my animation and I think I have done it successfully, hopefully you will think so too.


Developed Characters

Here I have developed my characters and have made them in photoshop. I am really happy with the outcome. Next I will align them altogether to see how they will look next to one another however I don't doubt that will not look good together.










Kawaii Ice Cream Sketches

These are my first Kawaii ice cream sketches, already I think that they are better than my original characters. From looking at my research I have incorporated certain features into the new characters successfully. I will develop my favourite sketches in photoshop and use them in my animation.















Kawaii Ice Cream (Research)

To get my the ball rolling for my designs I have specifically searched for kawaii ice cream, I will use these existing designs as inspiration to help me design my own characters or take the existing ones and add a twist to them.









Kawaii (Research)

Kawaii in Japanese means cute. From this research I will adapt this style into my designs for my new ice cream characters. I see that they use a lot of black outlines, pastel colours and big bold eyes to present expressions/emotions that the character is going through.
