11 Seconds of Brainstorming

Over the next few weeks I will be working on a piece of animation for the 11 Second Club's September transcript:

Voice 1: This is, ah, this is heavy duty, Doc! This is great! Does it run on like regular unleaded gasoline?
Voice 2: Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick... Plutonium!
Voice 1: Ah, Plutonium! Ah, wait, are you telling me this sucker is nuclear?!

I decided to brainstorm my initial ideas to create a rough outline of how I want the scene to look. As I am going to create the animation in Autodesk Maya, I have also looked at a few work-in-progress pieces on YouTube: 

I am yet to create a set of thumbnails which will allow me to start working on the animatic. 

Xenomorph Completion

After approximately 30 hours, the first drawing is finally complete. If I were to redraw the image, there are a lot of things I would do differently from the original attempt (mostly referring to my shading technique), which I consider to be a positive outcome so early into the project. 

One down, 25 drawings to go. For the letter B, I am torn between drawing the Batmobile or a bearded dragon.
