I continued trying to develop the appearance of my egg design, really focusing on the face (eyes) at this point, I wanted to try and get his emotions across as much as possible with his eyes as that's his focus point and I have no dialogue within my animation.
I decided to keep my egg design as simple as possible, and to have all of his emotions portrayed through his eyes. Eggs are very simple but they're used to makes very complicated things, they're incredibly useful, I wanted to portray through my character that he's very simple, but has complicated emotions. Which his eyes will portray. I also had the idea of him cracking through the scene, to possibly show him feeling broken (emotionally) but showing it physically.
I got this idea from Gromit in Wallace and Gromit, he had no dialogue but was incredibly expressive though his eyes/eyebrows and it's incredibly powerful. Much like my characters emotions.
Just a quick video of one of my favourtie scenes in animation ever, Wallace and Gromit in the wrong trousers. In this scene Gromit shows so much emotion without really trying, and I think that's brilliant.
