This is some process work and the final products for my concept design class I took with Jake Parker in late 2011. We redid Pinnochio for this class, more specifically based on the Disney movie, but I read the book to help with some ideas. I went with something very, very different from both.
Warning: Long post. Lots of pictures!
First we have Gepetto's house. I decided he was a wizard and trying to create a golem out of clay.
Then Pleasure Island. It's a floating city in the sky.
Then we designed vehicles. I cheated and designed a flying turtle.
Then a prop. I decided to design the wizard's staff.
And now for the characters! I designed the Blue Fairy, Monstro, and Pinnochio. I decided to make the Blue Fairy a small, insect-like fairy.
Since Pleasure Island was in the sky, I decided Monstro should be some kind of sky dragon. After a bunch of sketches I decided to go with something that was a cross between an eastern dragon and a gulper eel.
Then when it came to Pinnochio I thought it would be cool if he was made out of clay. He would start out as a lump and become more and more person-shaped as he became more human. I really like how he turned out... and yes. I know that he resembles No Face from Spirited away.
Then as part of the final project we had to do two story moments. I chose the Blue Fairy granting Pinnochio life and the escape from Pleasure Island.
Overall, I like some of my concepts and think that this could be a super-cool version of the story. Maybe I'll play around with it again later, or take some of these elements and put them in a story of my own.
