Developed Designs

Here are some positions of Andy.

The next 3 images were test drawings of Andy's face, I had to do this to find an appealing and fun look that suites my intended style.

Here are a few rough face designs and character designs

This is Freddie the fish, Andy's best and most loyal friend

Some more positions of Andy

Now that all of these drawings have been completed I then began to produce my final character drawings so that I could start thinking about Storyboarding and Animating.

After a great week of designing I finally have my developed characters and ideas! From these images, which are posted in Post 2 Continued, I can now start to think about the style of the set and various other scenery.
In Post 2 Continued there are also a few images of my Final character designs that will be used in my final animation. Enjoy!

This week I have gained a better understanding about how i'm going to structure my first TV show, using my own personal library of photos I have drawn some initial sketches of characters which has allowed me to decide which ones will be present in the first show, to ensure that the audience has an immediate attraction to the show, which should then lead to them wanting to watch each show each week.

I have also produced a script for the first show called Sound Of the Sea.


The basic outline of the story is that Andy hears of a mysterious creature swimming around the old sunken pirate ship. He rushes to shore to dive in and meets his friend freddie during his decent. Swimming toward the ship the pair meet other friends across the way until coming across Ollie the octopus who tries to disrupt their journey.

Once they pass Ollie they then go to the ship and find the mysterious creature which is a mermaid called Maurine who has lost her voice. The only way for her to get her voice back is to find a rock on which she can sing from.

Andy knows a good rock where she can sing from and so takes her back to Higgin Island ( Andy's Home ) and they all enjoy one anthers company beneath the stars.

Below are some of the initial drawings that I am going to be developing for next weeks post:

 Initial sketches of the main characters of the Aquatic Andy series

I will be developing these images further so that I have my final characters for the first show. Coloured photos will be posted next week!

Stay tuned!

Welcome to Aquatic Andy's blog

Welcome to my Blog, my name is Jamie Price and I am an Animation student at the university of Portsmouth.


This Blog has been created so that I can present my idea Aquatic Andy to you.

Aquatic Andy is an animated TV series about a scuba diver, (Andy) who explores the oceans with his underwater friends. Each TV show presents Andy with new problems to face and solve as well as, giving the audience (Children) a fun and enjoyable viewing experience.

There are no messages or meanings that structure each storyline, however my aims are to allow children   to gain a better understanding about ocean life, what we do that effects the ocean and how we can help.

I will use my own personal experiences (as a scuba diver) of the ocean to produce characters and captivating story lines that will keep children entertained and excited throughout each show. I can use my knowledge to think of relevant characteristics for characters as well.  Many aquatic animals have their own personalities so it will be easy for myself to decide what each character should act like.

Hopefully this animated series became successful it could be a sponsor of an oceanic charity like, Save The Sharks Foundation as I have a great passion and respect for ocean life.

There is one personal feature that I wanted to add to the series and this was the character names, each character has a name from one member of my family.  I also wanted to make this series because my Grandad, a very keen scuba diver in his youth and Nan, a lover of exotic places sadly passed away in 2012, so the series would be something that I would dedicate to them.


I hope you enjoy following the journey of the production of Aquatic Andy.
