Man Boob Man

Problem Analysis

I am at a stage in this brief where I have realised that I have over -complicated all of my GIFs without realising. All of my proposals have included complicated movements and sequences, which has decreased my time allowance. Therefore I haven't had time to develop my man boob man character to the standard that I had hoped for.

Initially I had hoped that he would jump and skip with his moobs, however I have spent the majority of my time developing and completing my other two GIFs; therefore for my finished GIF of man boob man I will develop the initial swinging GIF.



Practical Skills

I started by composing a simplistic beach scene background in photoshop.



Using a lightbox and stencil image of a large man, I drew out a basic shape for man boob man in which I was able to adapt my character from.




Using the same technique as in previous GIFs, decreasing the opacity  when adding a new layer, I was able to position the figure accurately against the background.



I decided to give him a sunburnt look, with a cringey wife-beater vest tan line to add give a more humorous effect and to create more of a theme; this was achieved by using the magic wand and brush tool.



In my frames, I only drew his moobs swinging to the right. To save drawing out extra frames needlessly, I selected the figure on a new layer and frame and flipped him horizontally. This gave the illusion that his moobs were swinging to the left too.

The Finished GIF


I did have to rush this GIF due to lack of time, therefore I feel as if the results could have been a lot better if I had put more time into the production process.

If I had more time I definitely would have experimented further with more complex movement, and animated him to skip with his moobs as I initially planned. However I believe the outcome is humorous to a certain extent and dictates clearly my sense of amusement through the movement and theme.
