Egg designs

After researching into different shaped egg shells I started to sketch what I wanted my character to look like.

 These are very rough. I decided to get an egg and sketch it, I added shading, I will have to experiment more with the idea of shading, as I feel when it comes to animating it. It will end up being that much harder.

As we have to make a biped character (2 legs) I wanted to make his legs out of what he is (ie using the yolk within him to leak out the sides to help him walk.) Instead of adding human legs on him. This is just because I feel like that's been done before, it will hopefully make the character more interesting to look when when he moves. I will carry on this idea for now.

I looked at a few facial ideas for my egg character, I was surprised to not find too many well known animated ones. But here were a few of my favourites, (TOP LEFT) Togepi from pokemon, who has a very kawaii face, (TOP RIGHT) iloveegg.com is somthing i've loved since I was young, also very kawaii with their simple faces still showing a range of emotions. (BOTTOM LEFT) Humpty Dumpty from Puss in boots, he seems to have a hyper realistic face. Being able to portray a array of complicated emotions. And finally (BOTTOM RIGHT) Egg Fu, appearing in many DC comics, with a robotic feel.

And this, party for research and partly for fun, Weebl and Bob are two eggs in a web series that love pie. They move by just rolling around, they're never static. Just constantly moving back and forth.
